Subtle Technologies
My friend Jim is the founder and organizer of Subtle Technologies a conference/workshop/dialogue/collaboration on art and technology. He has been doing this for 11 years and this year’s theme is Light. If you are in Toronto on May 24-June 1 this is a must attend. If you are not in Toronto, this is worth a trip. I will be in Mexico so will sadly miss this!
The Subtle Technologies Festival blurs the lines between art and science. For the 11th annual festival we investigate light as a medium and tool for both artists and scientists. Light is essential to our survival, yet we rarely pause to question the various ways it intersects with our lives. Through performance, workshops, film screenings, poster sessions, exhibitions and a symposium we delve deeply into this years theme light from the perspective of the artist and scientist.
Specific highlights include (see schedule for details):
May 24-25 : Hands On Holography Workshop, presented in partnership with the Photon League
May 29th : Hands On Photovoltaics Workshop, presented in partnership with InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre and fo.am
May 29th: “More Light”, a film program looking at light on the screen
May 30th - June 1st : Symposium and Poster Presentations, featuring presentations by artists and scientists on light
May 30th : Performance Evening, performances using light as a medium by Diane Landry and Arthur Clay
May 31st :“Living Light” Exhibition Opening, Pixel Gallery, “Light Sensitive” by Diane Willow and “Pixy” by Experientiae Electricae, installations of light, presented in partnership with Pixel Gallery and Year Zero One.
This looks like the coolest thing to do in TO this May… thanks for sharing, Tracey! Too bad you’ll be in Mexico- for us, that is- would LOVE to see this with you around-
have fun, thanks again for enlightening the rest of us with the heads-up!
Cheers, Marc
