Description

Thursday, May 25 at 7 pm Room 403, Vancouver Art Gallery

In conjunction with UBC’s Living the Global City and the 2006 World Urban Forum, the Vancouver Art Gallery is pleased to host this discussion presented by the Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (Centre A)

This public discussion among artists Kate Armstrong, Bobbi Kozinuk, M. Simon Levin, Laurie Long, Leonard Paul, Manuel Piña, Jean Routhier, and curator Alice Ming Wai Jim will speak to “container culture” and the idea that the public sphere is rapidly being privatized and now reflects more on the movement of goods and capital than on the expression of individual rights. in[ ]ex, their interactive, city-wide media art project, will be launched next month at Centre A and the World Urban Festival. in[ ]ex is a distributed audio sculpture in which 5,000 wooden blocks embedded with radio tags are released into the city to engage the public as active agents. The tag in each block sends a signal that is picked up and mixed, forming a sound environment in the space of a shipping container.

This project is sponsored by the Canada Council, the British Columbia Arts Council, the City of Vancouver through the Office of Cultural Affairs, and the Province of British Columbia through the Spirit of BC Arts Fund.
