Gallery Presentation is ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Nocturne – Zoë LeBrun
Utilizing the ‘glitch’ as a portal into hidden worlds, Nocturne explores the metaphors of nothingness embedded in darkness. It suggests that the indeterminate qualities of the unknown can provide revelations of wonder rather than existential dread, and that we can move through the unknown while also carrying it with us.
Computer-Assisted Simulation Technology for Optimizing Rivers – Ryan Hill
“Computer-Assisted Simulation Technology for Optimizing Rivers” is about beavers managing the water and other resources in a location in southern Manitoba where two rivers connect. Through the construction of dams and lodges, the landscape is transformed into one of greater productive value.
Peripheral vision – BG Osborne
Peripheral vision is an experiment with magnetic video recording and manipulation in order to promote media degradation/loss of information as signals are repeatedly translated between analog and digital. Through a transsexual and neurodivergent lens, the artist explores the interplay between optic and social aberrations and expresses their anxieties about the alarming rise of surveillance and fascism in so-called canada.
