What's ibid?

A literary term from the latin ibidem - 'in the same place'. Most often used in bibliographies for 'that which has been previously referenced'.

For me, 'ibid' has been a works-in-progress for in excess of 30 years.

At first 'ibid' was a film production company in Winnipeg.From 1966 through 1969 ibid productions produced various films independently, created film experiments with the manitoba theatre school, and made short 'fillers' for the c.b.c. television show 'Horizons'.

In the 70's, ibid company became a graphic and design house in Toronto creating advetising campaigns for advertising agencies such as Mcann Erickson + Ronalds Renalds and illusrations for various book + magazine publishers.

From 1981 through 1992, ibidco evolved into a theatre production company with the Toronto Studio Players.

Now ibid refers to the past few years of digital history - a sampler of past projects and idle playfulness.
