The Life of a Party & Unraveling || Lee Jones & Greta Grip
It is our pleasure to share an update on Lee Jones and Greta Grip’s Media Art + Technology Residency that is wrapping up soon and will be showing from June 23 – September 15, 2023
Brady Allard-The Five Drones
The Five Drones is presented by Cluster Festival and Video Pool Media Arts Centre.
The Five Drones is an exploration of the concept of drones in modern society. The installation is inspired by the term drone–a continuous, low-pitched sound, and the various connotations of the word in popular culture. As I reflect on the world we live in, I am struck by the increasing reliance on AI, technology, and the potential consequences this may have for humanity.

VP is pleased to present this program of their works, available to watch for free between March 21st – April 4th (2023)

MATR recipients || Lee Jones & Greta Grip
It is our pleasure to announce Greta Grip and Lee Jones as the 2023 recipients of the Media Art + Technology Residency (MATR). In response to our call, (de)PRESS(i)ON, these two artists have proposed an evolving/devolving, interactive, data-collecting, technology and craft related artwork that will respond not only to VP’s gallery, but will involve ways of including other areas of the building while drawing together ideas and inspiration from both historical and current activities.
