PAST: ARTIST TALK: GENerative Art
“GENerativeART: Algorithms as Artistic Tool” a presentation by Dr. James R. Parker.
Generative art is the art of the algorithm where artists must carefully design the nature of their work, and then implement it as a computer program. He posits that computational tools can be used to augment and express human imagination. And, of course, it is fun. As Dr. Parker states “If you are not having fun then you are doing it wrong”.
OPENING & WORKSHOP: Animating the Spirit
A visual art practice built on ‘Animating the Spirit’…
I embark on a scavenger hunt through a personal and cultural memory of headlines, magazine images, photos, ephemera collected from the bottoms of drawers, remnants of nature, stamps and stencils, which is textured, coloured, glued, torn, or over-painted. The sum of it is considered with the undertones of symbol and metaphor, politics, science, anthropology and futurism.

ON NOW: Portraits: Facing the Image – Drumheller

PAST: Asian Roots Trio (A.R.T.)
Asian Roots Trio, A.R.T. for short, is a showcase of our Asian narrative. Each of us has our own distinct story about our Asian heritage since we all have unique backgrounds and experiences. Although we did not search each other out, we all came to an intersection through our common interest in traditional Asian culture. Our choice of mediums, including oil painting, drawing, and watercolour painting, form a diverse yet cohesive vision of traditional Asian aesthetics as we tell the story of our Asian Roots.
