Chat Market is a collaborative duo of two artists who are frequently mistaken for poets or writers, sometimes sound artists. Through their collective activities Chat Market frequently encourages this misidentification (though some of it is just you). Chat Market began life as a Québecois shibboleth in Chicago, and have been innovating text-based workarounds to the gig economy, surveillance capitalism, social media, and their attendant realities since roughly 2018. Chat Market rarely asks for permission. Need the talk? Pull up to Chat Market.
