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.

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.
