Mining the potential of the infomercial as a tool of radical reimagining, But Wait, There’s More! is an online screening series of video art that replaces the infomercial’s hyper-capitalist agenda with subversive, anti-oppressive messaging.

Every Wednesday night at 11pm MT from October 1 to November 5, 2025, a new video artwork will launch on this website. Each video will remain available for on-demand viewing for one week… so don’t delay! Visit butwaittheresmore.ca now!

The But Wait, There’s More! project team is based in amiskwacîwâskahikan, colonially known as Edmonton, Alberta. This land is and has been home to, traversed by, and a gathering place for many diverse Indigenous peoples, including but not limited to the nêhiyawak, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux, and Niitsítapi. Edmonton is located on Treaty 6 territory and within the homeland of the Métis Nation, and is currently home to one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel.

Image Descriptions:
1. Theo Jean Cuthand stands in front of a grassy field. He is wearing a long-sleeved button-up shirt and glasses. His arms are bent at the elbows and his hands are raised.
2. Danielle Peers, who is wearing a white tank top with a “dog tag” necklace, stands in front of a chalkboard. On the chalkboard are the words “Gimp/civilian,” “Imprinting,” “Mastering,” and “Public Outreach,” which vertically create the acronym/word “GIMP.” Danielle points their finger directly out at us, breaking the “fourth wall.”
3. A brown and white sea lion lies on its side. It has a content look on its face. Closed captions over the image read: “This sealion knows that lieing in the sane is a great way to work in.”
