Re: Mediation | Dialogue on Immersive & Interactive Art

re: mediation

Organized in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition of Toronto-based artist David Rokeby's Very Nervous System at the McIntosh Gallery (March 19 - May 9, 2015), Re: Mediation will address topics related to the historical roots and future directions of interactive media, gestural interfaces, sound installation, and embodied interactions with technology in contemporary art.

In the spirit of Rokeby's work, it asks whether interactive art has the potential to engage critically with modes of technologically mediated subjectivity, perception, and experience which characterize our current moment.

Speakers:

Jessica Field (Ryerson University)

Don Sinclair (York University)

Christof Migone (Western University)


Organized by:
