Roy Ascott: The Analogues explores a small but crucial body of work by English inter-media artist and theorist Roy Ascott (b. 1934). The works in the exhibition were all created in England between 1963 and 1967. They form a small but crucial part of the artist’s “Analogue” works – non-digital, two-dimensional and non-representational wall works that pre-figure his later artwork and theories relating to computer networks, viewer interaction, and telematics.

“I collect objects of all sorts, many of them to fulfil a practical purpose, and others for their aesthetic and nostalgic qualities. I like to have around me souvenirs of other eras and other cultures, and with this input of the past I compose the present. My collection is the inspiration for this cabinet of curiosities, where I transpose consumer products into a virtual and intangible realm.”

Video Pool Media Arts Centre invites you to attend an Artist Talk and Screening by Winnipeg artist and curator Doug Lewis. Lewis will be presenting his latest work “Screenplay” and discussing the ‘screen’ as an object that holds both our anticipation and simultaneously delays our sense of expectation. In addition, Lewis will be drawing parallels between neurological functions and cinematic perceptions based upon the recently released book Memory by Alison Winter.

Video Pool Media Arts Centre in collaboration with the University of Manitoba, Department of English, Theatre and Film, organizes: “Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s Theories of Communication Revisited”. This two-day, International Conference and Exhibition juxtaposes the unique legacies of the phenomenologically-based communication theorist Vilém Flusser, and the media prophet Marshal McLuhan whose play on language and media shaped today’s networked society by coining expressions such as “the medium is the message” and “the global village”.

Video Pool Media Arts Centre, in collaboration with The University of Manitoba School of Art is pleased to present: Inflatable Robotic Arts in Canada by New York based artist Chico MacMurtrie. Inflatable Architecture Intervention and the Cellular Hexagons are the most recent developments for live performance and installation. Inspired by cellular architecture and organic growth, these works offer a direct, visceral experience of the kinds of minuet geometric constructions that underlie all of life. Inflatable Architecture Intervention, like MacMurtrie`s earlier work, reveals that organic and inorganic forms are not mutually exclusive categories, but different moments of a shared continuum of form.
