2010 International Experimental Media Congress

Published: March 27, 2010

Toronto Media Congress logoThe 2010 International Experimental Media Congress coincides with the closing days of the 23rd Images Festival. The first Congress since the storied 1989 Toronto Experimental Film Congress, this gathering will promote ongoing international conversations and provide platforms for creative discussions about the burning issues related to experimental media production, exhibition, dissemination, criticism, pedagogy and reception. The Congress includes dialogues about experimental media as a critical and material practice and its politics, myths and institutions; discussions about media arts’ place on the screen, on the web, in the gallery and in the archive; field reports from the burgeoning experimental scenes of Korea and India; and a showcase of recent practices. It brings together over 50 invited film, video and new media artists, curators, theorists and archivists from around the world for an intense four days of discussions and debate.

Keynote talk: Yvonne Rainer in conversation with John Greyson. Wednesday 7 April 2010, 7 PM at the Ontario College of Art & Design.

Video Notebook: LCC Statewide Assembly, March 2010

Published: March 14, 2010

http://www.singingstring.org/JM/Video_Notebooks.html
Mass Cultural Council’s LCC Statewide Assembly

About this video:
This is one of our “Video Notebooks” (lightly-edited actualities) which will give you a glimpse into meetings, conferences, workshops and other gatherings which will be of interest to musicians and performing artists, educators, and artists of all types. It’s not meant to be a finished movie, but rather the kind of “jotted down notes” type of thing, in video form.

It is hosted on our site since some of the files end up being large, but it is meant for the general “MALC audience.”

Be patient and allow the Quicktime movie to load so you can view this in relatively uninterrupted fashion.
