What does the media arts landscape look like for artists across Ontario? MEDIA ART MATTERS! combines a lively discussion on the possibilities and challenges of media practice with a media art intervention at the Images Festival closing party. The panel includes presentations by a diverse group of media art advocates practicing at the boundaries of contemporary culture. An informal discussion with the audience will follow. Later that evening artists from across the region will converge on 401 Richmond to combine text and light with its post-industrial architecture in an on-the-fly collective expression. These two venues, presented by IMAAontario, brings together artists, independent producers and educators who believe that media art matters ... A LOT!!! Artist Run Machines, Open Source Culture is a public think tank hosted by moderator Clive Robertson with panelists Vera Frenkel, Richard Fung, Steve Loft, and Caroline Seck Langill. Together with the audience, this seasoned group of artists, academics, critics, curators and activists will bring their uniques experiences in the media arts to bear on questions of the sectors viability and validation within greater social, political and economic spheres. The audience will be challenged to interpret and evaluate the hybrid forms of organization and action that exist in the territory between the institution and individual practitioners. people
