SUMMARY:Soul Analog - Anthony Valade
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 2025 Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration – Video Pool Media Arts Centre is pleased to announce the one-night-only public presentation soul analog by Anthony Valade\, recipient of the 2025 Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration. The presentation will open with an artist talk\, presented in partnership with First Fridays. \nDate: September 5\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 – 9 PM\nArtist Talk: 6:00 – 7 PM\nLocation: The Output (2nd Floor\, 100 Arthur St.) \nDuring his residency\, he began by hunting down and watching the original tutorial and introductory videos for the legacy video mixers. He then spent the majority of his time exploring the feedback loop effects of each mixer and how those loops were affected by sending the signals back into the mix using different styles and eras of video cameras and television monitors. Toward the end of each day\, he would experiment with creating motion-activated effects by using parts of his body to further manipulate the feedback loop\, often resulting in fantastic\, unexpected visuals. He considers these explorations to have been very successful and plans to integrate his new findings into future projects. \nSoul-Analog is an interactive art installation experiment/artist talk that integrates vintage/retro video technologies and cameras in tandem with human interaction to create active motion murals of the “Soul” in the image presented. \nIn between viewings\, there will be live Analog VJ/video art demonstrations. \nPlease join us in VP’s Output Venue for an intimate opportunity to explore Anthony Valade’s research on the analogue video system.

SUMMARY:Film Night 'Woven Gardens'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 45 minute documentary film that explores the artistry of timeless hand woven rugs and textiles\, and the lives of the women in nomadic tribal families who wove them in central and west Asia. Woven with the wool of their own sheep\, and full of symbols of life and the nature that surrounds the tribes\, these carpets are all one of a kind and are significant works of art as well as being functional pieces.\nThe peoples of the Qashqai tribe no longer live nomadically\, with rugs woven for their families with their heart and soul – as they have for centuries past – so the art of tribal rug weaving is being lost. \nFilm screening at 7:30 p.m. \nRefreshments will be offered.
