Visible Memories / X Avant 2008

Here are two events that I'm involved in that I'd like to give a little plug...

Visual Memories Conference Poster

I am currently scrambling to put together a presentation for the Visible Memories Conference at Syracuse University this weekend. I'll be demoing my (hopefully) soon-to-be-launched Critical Sections project as part of a panel entitled Urban Memory. The conference programming looks quite strong and I'll definitely be posting about some of the proceedings as there are several presentations on archives, visualization and digital aesthetics that I am particularly keen on (including a lecture by George Legrady who I recently mentioned in my post on the IMA Dashboard).

X Avant 2008 E-Flyer

Vague Terrain will once again be co-curating an evening at the X Avant festival with our pals at the Music Gallery. The show will take place on Thursday October 23rd and feature multimedia performances by Sebastian Meissner (aka Klimek), Keith Fullerton Whitman and NAW. Full event details are available here and if you are in or around Southern Ontario please considering joining us at the festival - where else would you hear the Sun Ra Arkestra AND Tim Hecker? You can check out the Music Gallery site for info on the rest of the programming and it is also worth mentioning that I interviewed Sebastian Meissner about his work last year.
