Acclaimed artist Trevor Jones announced the launch of EXPOS3D, a daring new immersive art exhibition that confronts the shifting balance between humans, machines, and control.
Opening to the public on 12 October at Custom House, Edinburgh – a free but ticketed event that will transform Edinburgh’s historic Custom House gallery into a living artwork – this groundbreaking fusion of painting, sculpture, stained glass, tech, AI and AR invites audiences to step inside a multi-sensory world where faith, tradition, and technology collide.
At a time when religion no longer occupies the central role it once held, Trevor explores the ways technology has risen to take its place. From smartphones to algorithms, from surveillance systems to artificial intelligence, EXPOS3D reflects on how the divine gaze has been replaced by digital omniscience and asks what this means for the human spirit.
Jones, who has established himself as one of the most successful traditional to digital crossover artists, says,
“This is not an attack on tradition. It’s an observation of how much our world has changed. Where once people turned to God for answers, we now turn to machines. As the roots of faith weaken, we must confront what has been lost, what has been gained, and what it means for our future.”

EXPOS3D offers an unsettling yet powerful experience, merging traditional art with cutting-edge technology, sound, and immersive installations. The exhibition blurs the line between physical and digital, confronting audiences with questions of control, rebellion, and resistance in a world increasingly shaped by technological power.

While Canada's national average climbed to $1,294.26 per week — about $67,300 per year — Quebecers are still earning <em>well</em> below that benchmark.</p> <h3>Quebec is stuck in the bottom half</h3> <p>The average weekly salary in Quebec is $1,237.52, which works out to around $64,351 per year. That puts la belle province below not only the national average but also behind provinces like Alberta, Ontario, and even Newfoundland and Labrador.</p><p>To put it into perspective, here’s how we compare:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Alberta:</strong> $71,140/year</li> <li> <strong>Ontario:</strong> $69,147/year</li> <li> <strong>Quebec:</strong> $64,351/year</li> </ul> <p>While Quebec isn't dead last, we're definitely closer to the bottom than the top.</p> <h3>The North is rolling in it</h3> <p>Shockingly, the highest average salaries in Canada aren't even in the provinces — they're up north.
