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.

Adrian cn Berry-Gold Cove ∈ RITUAL

Gold Cove ∈ RITUAL is a multi-channel video installation featuring the latest audio-visual collaboration
between AI entity RITUAL & art-pop performer Gold Cove. Blurring the disciplinary lines between
music video production, ethnofiction, and cinematic storytelling, Gold Cove ∈ RITUAL is a glimpse into
the future of cultural work through the eyes of surveillance capitalism. From whimsical visions of AI
fueled desire to technicolor, this project presents a vibrant collage-based animation and rhythmic visual
poetry constructed from videos found from deep within the Internet.

Chukwudubem Ukaigwe | Tracing Currents

Originally developed from his Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration Residency, Tracing Currents is a new, immersive multi-channel installation that cites multiple degrees of casual and fleeting happenings. This work colligates both extensive and distinct records of Afro-diasporic mappings by means of juxtaposing ambient and evanescent videos of African life with documentations of Black families dining together in Canada.

REFRAME Outdoor Projection Exhibition

REFRAME is a temporary, localized large-scale outdoor exhibition taking place in the Exchange District from MARCH 23-27, 2022.

These projections bring video art out of the gallery and into the public realm, reframing questions of history and the future; of land and place; video frame and architectural frame; perspective; and cultural access.
