Visiting artist talk- Stéphane Querrec

November 3, 2016 /

The Elastic Spaces art lab is proud to present Stéphane Querrec, a visiting artist from Berlin who is making a work for the Screen Mosaic at the Georges-Émile-Lapalme corridor at Place des Arts, to be launched Thursday, November 10, 2016 at 5pm.

He will also be giving an artist talk:

Wednesday, November 9, 2016
4pm  to 6pm
@ Milieux Institute at Concordia University
Room: EV11.705 (11th floor resource centre)

He will talk about his process of working as an artist in the public pedestrian  space at the Place des Arts, addressing the challenges, the ethical and technical constraints,  and his responsibilities as an artist with this project.  This talk will be in English and it’s free and  open to the public.

This event should be of interest to media artists, researchers and students studying  media arts, site specific works, sculptural installation in public spaces and the engagement of viewers in public pedestrian spaces.

Forest! presentation at the IVLA2016

November 2, 2016 /

conference_640x747

Leila Sujir’s latest project, Forest! was presented during the 48th Annual International Visual Literacy Association Conference at Concordia University, October 7th, 2016. This was part of a walkthrough presentation series during the conference.

ABOUT IVLA :

Visual Literacy is already a field of multidisciplinary investigation. How might it also become a field of multisensory and/or intersensory investigation? For example, how does seeing as a way of sensing and making sense of the world differ from reading, or touching, or dancing? As Isadora Duncan famously remarked: “If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it!” ? Or, how can the insights derived from the study of Visual Literacy be extended to other modalities of sense, such as sound studies? In asking these questions, the conference seeks to revisit and recuperate the original definition of “Visual Literacy.” In the words of John Debes (Co-founder of the IVLA), Visual Literacy refers to “a group of vision competencies a human being can develop by seeing and at the same time having and integrating other sensory experiences” (1969). More recently, Brian Kennedy (Director of the Toledo Museum of Art) proposed that “Visual Literacy is the key to sensory literacy” (2014). This suggests that the past and future of Visual Literacy lies with engaging the senses.

Charalambos Poullis, Leila Sujir and Santiago Tavera presented their research and latest projects September 17, 2016 at the Entertainment Technology Summit part of the Festival International du Film Canada-China 2016 at Concordia University.

The Entertainment Technology (ET) Summit will be crucial in constructing a platform of mutual academic learning and communication in the field of film production. Film technology specialists will discuss and exchange thoughts on cutting-edge film technology. CCIFF will also invite international keynote speakers and well-known Canadian and Chinese film companies to participate in the summit. The ET Summit will offer an informative and dynamic atmosphere and opportunities for networking and discovering new technology.

The ET Summit will be held on September 17, 2016, at 9:00am. Film technology specialists will discuss multimedia technology and post-production skills, and brainstorm with the other film producers on near and long-term possibilities for collaboration. CCIFF will also invite famous Canadian and Chinese film and entertainment companies to participate, providing the summit with an informative and dynamic atmosphere and offer opportunity for networking and forming co-production initiatives.

3D Virtual & Physical Models

August 1, 2016 /

This summer the Elastic Spaces team at Concordia University has been  using photogrammetric techniques in order to develop 3D virtual models, like the one below. A series of photos of architectural facades are rendered and put together in 3D software. These models of both the Roman Baths in the UK and the Grey Nuns Building in Montreal, are being constructed as physical structures that will help us when doing 3D projections test, and they will be used to further assist Prof. Poullis’ Smart Projection Mapping project.

Freestyle 3D rig with two Sony FS7 cameras Tests

August 1, 2016 /

We have just started testing the Freestyle 3D rig by P+S Technik with two Sony FS7 cameras, lent to us by Hexagram UQAM.

The idea is to see if they are suitable for our next 3D shootings. Their light weight, combined with their ability to record in very good quality (4K) makes them great candidates to operate in adventurous locations, like the Old-growth forests of Victoria, BC, for example.

Now that we know they can be mounted on the rig, let’s see how they align on the screen!

 

Presentation at Besides the Screen conference, Coventry, UK

July 22, 2016 /

Anthony Head and Leila Sujir presented their research on Elastic Space at the 2017 Besides the Screen conference at Coventry University in July 20-22nd. The conference was a mix of film studies, philosophy and art practice and participants were able to experience the Leila and Anthony’s presentation with 3D anaglyph glasses. The presentation included a number of projects including Elastic City Spacey (Sujir 2015), Tulipmania (Sujir 2005) and iMigration (Head 2016).

Leila Sujir also discussed her recent visit to British Columbia, CA, filming in ancient forests for a new project. It was interesting to discover how other presentations also shared Elastic Space themes, including migration, projection and old technologies.

Besides the Screen is an AHRC International Networks funded event.
