The AI-A-THON will bring together four facilitators and up to 15 guest Indigenous artists to contribute to the development of contemporary First Nation, Metis and Inuit artists represented within the AI environment through a series of online and in person LABs.

MATR recipients || Lee Jones & Greta Grip

It is our pleasure to announce Greta Grip and Lee Jones as the 2023 recipients of the Media Art + Technology Residency (MATR). 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.

Media Arts + Technology Residency – Call for Applications

Video Pool Media Arts Centre is pleased to announce our upcoming Media Art + Technology Residency (MATR).

The theme for MATR this year will be (de)PRESS(i)ON, and is a part of a year-long program celebrating and exploring VP’s 40th anniversary, what we are referring to as our Mid-life Crisis™. The VP mid-life crisis™ series will feature programs from the six stages of a typical mid-life crisis: Denial, Passion; Replay, Depression, Withdrawal, and Acceptance.
For MATR, we are asking artists to “Press On” with us… to persist, continue and to advance technology-based art while delving into the past 4 decades of VP history.

Örjan Sandred and Max Sandred | Sonic Trails: Lockdown

“Sonic Trails : Lockdown” is a multimedia installation reflecting on a city in Covid-19 lockdown. Using algorithms for Artificial Intelligence, a visitor is transferred between concrete and abstract experiences in a 3-dimensional world created through projections on semi-transparent screens and a multi-channel loudspeaker system. The installation is created by Max and Örjan Sandred and is based on material recorded during the 2021 pandemic in Winnipeg.

Erin Laye on Azimuth Nitehi

We are all just particles, drifting this way and that, with no clear place to go. In the installation “Azimuth Nitehi” you begin to embody the void and explore the outer reaches of a universe reminiscent of the milky way. The difference between our galaxy and this one is that the cold vacuum of space that we are familiar with, has become illuminated and brought to life by the particles within it. Enter this augmented reality where you are your heartbeat, and the average sum of all of the heartbeats around you. The inward force that connects you to the rest of humanity is brought outward.
