Media Arts + Technology Residency 2024- Call for Applications

Welcome to MATR 2024!

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.

i.o with Darcy Bunio

On May 19th, limitless percussionist i.o (Victoria) returns to The Output for a live collaboration with guitarist Darcy Bunio, following their stunning 2022 duet. Don’t miss this opportunity to see two of Canada’s finest improvisers working at the limits of their instruments, with a solo performance from i.o.

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.
