COLLECTIVE RESIDENCY AT STUDIO XX

http://www.ubermatic.org

During the month of July, Ubermatic.org (Amanda Ramos + Michelle Teran) will be effecting a residency at the Studio between July 5th and 26th, entitled Flatlandia.

Flatlandia is a database, gameboard and series of installations that link together the properties of images with the properties of spaces. Image spaces are either environments you cannot inhabit because they only function as an image (i.e. a storefront window) or conversely images that actually foster inhabitation (i.e. an interactive webcam image of an interior). They are places that act as though they are in a dimension other than their own. Typically, space is deep and the image is flat. In Flatlandia, the opposite is explored - images have dimensions giving us room to move within them and spaces are missing dimensions only allowing us to look at them.

POINT D'ATTACHES

"Point d'attaches ou les infidélités rotatives de Monique Jean" at the Darling Foundry

745, rue Ottawa
Montréal métro Square Victoria
June 7, 2003 à 8pm :: launch
June 7 to 14, 2003 from 4 to 8 pm

This sound installation consists of a vertical plane upon which many speaker cones are affixed, forming a wall. The viewer finds themselves in the presence of a stable state of being. Stable that is, until certain deviations are percieved... The speaker wall is a fascinating exploration which brings us closer to the mysteries of electricity, the source of sound.

MONUMENT DE VIDE

From June 18-21, 2003, the Centre for Art Tapes (CFAT) will present New Media / No Memory, a dynamic exhibition conceived to explore the relationship between information technologies and memory in the virtual world.

The exhibition will feature a highly innovative project, the Monument du Vide (MdV), a virtual laboratory that uses communication technologies to enable artists to share and experiment with one another’s sound, images, and programs via a shared network. MdV is a performance occurring over the course of four days, seven hours a day, in which nine artists each working at remote computers in their own cities, will collaboratively construct a digital monument declaring their presence as a community in cyberspace. Their ongoing process in constructing the monument will be projected into a very real exhibition space at the Nova Scotia Community College, so that members of the public can visit the installation (from June 18th to 21st) and witness the artists’ ongoing creation.
