On Sept. 28 2011 I was fortunate to partake in OpenOttawaLibre 2011, an “unconference” that brought together a diverse group of “creatives” from the business, technology, and art sectors in Ottawa. Although the agenda of the day wasn’t entirely clear until the event started – in true “unconference” style – the day was actually [...]

Mountain of Gold @ Chinatown Remixed 2011
Background
Chinatown Remixed is an annual, art festival in Ottawa’s Chinatown district. For one month each spring, the merchants and restaurants of Chinatown welcome artists’ exhibitions and performances.

Prototype exhibition
During the Electric Fields biennial festival of electronic art and music in Ottawa, Karsh Masson Gallery hosted the Prototype exhibition, which focused on the iterative processes behind electronic-based art.
Unfortunately I don’t have as many photos of the exhibit as I’d like, as the whole experience was a bit of a whirlwind, with two days dedicated [...]

Leo Villareal @ the San Jose Museum of Art
Here’s a great article about Leo Villareal’s exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art. The article is packed with videos of Villareal’s work, including a walk-through of the actual exhibit.
I particularly resonated with this quote from the artist:

Back in February, I saw this call for single button, interactive objects to be displayed at an exhibition called “one button objects,” in San Francisco, as part of the Gamma4 one button game event during the 2010 Game Developers Conference.
This presented a perfect opportunity to experiment with interactivity and sensor input for my Electric Window [...]
