Not too hot or cold, just right” is a form of open invitation into a fertile atmosphere suitable for a dialogue between two personalities coexisting in one body. This dialogue is a brawl for understanding and not supremacy, leaving the viewer deeply immersed in an experience basked in euphoria. This exhibition explores the use of storytelling to arouse particular emotional responses such as joy, sadness, anger, frustration, and excitement from its viewers, setting a stage for self-reflection.
Video Pool Media Arts Centre is pleased to announce our upcoming Media Art + Technology Residency (MATR). MATR is designed to be a site-specific exploration of VP’s intimate Poolside Gallery where artists will have up to six weeks to develop and install a new work that responds to and utilizes the gallery’s characteristics. MATR specifically supports experimental, independent, technology-based works and we welcome submissions that focus on a large variety of mediums, approaches, and aesthetics.
