The International Experimental Media Congress, April 7-10, 2010 in Toronto, will provide a forum for exchange between artists, curators, programmers, gallerists, theorists, activists, writers and lovers of Canadian and international film, video and related time-based media art.
The first Congress since 1989, this gathering will promote ongoing international conversation and provide a platform for creative discussions about the burning issues related to experimental media production, exhibition, dissemination, criticism, pedagogy and reception.
Without the luxury of endless time and space, this thematically-focused event aims to include voices both young and old, from near and far, and across disciplines and practices in order to address the most pressing topics and to further develop the world wide networks of individuals working in this field. To make the process as inclusive and open as possible, major themes of discussion will be identified on the basis of responses to a short online survey at the link to your left.
Timed to coincide with the 23rd Images Festival, the Congress will extend free Festival passes to all registered attendees. The conference will feature morning and afternoon panels with plenty of time for networking and attending contemporary experimental programs at Images and throughout Toronto in the evenings and on the weekend.
Please share this exciting information with your networks.
