Then
and Now
The ifpod project is an experiment in polymorphous dissemination aimed at infiltrating the mobile YOUniverse with a unique collection of ten Canadian video art works - on the down load for any and every possible screen.
THEN is a rare chance for the insatiable media junky to see five remarkable works from the 1970s. Using the meanest and leanest of analogue technologies works by Lisa Steele, Jane Wright, Elizabeth Vander Zaag, David Askevold and Robert Bowers are conceptually sophisticated, physical and strangely well suited for the urban, mobile screen.
NOW features recent works by emerging and mid-career artists with much of the same punch, using technology as both the method and the madness these five artists Jude Norris, Dana Inkster, Jen Norton, Jeremy Bailey and Tasman Richardson bring form and content together to challenge our understanding of media and our trust in the human subject.
THEN & NOW works were selected by the iFpod collaborative curatorial team of
Leslie Peters, Deirdre Logue, Scott Miller Berry and Wanda vanderStoop. All works are part of Vtape's ever expanding collection of over 4000 video and media art works spanning over 5 decades of innovation.
The ifpod project is supported
with the generous assistance of Telefilm Canada, RBC Royal Bank,
Vtape and Twig Design. Special thanks to Clive Holden, Jean-Paul
Kelly, Alok Sharma, and the National Film Board of Canada.
