/ARTIST TALK TBA, check website for details

/DETAILS
This Installation offers the viewer a glimpse of both the artifice in cinema and the construction of representation in art practice. The viewer brackets causal explanation and analysis to experience the total effect of the work, including the cinematic narrative of their own presence within the process. The gap between Turriff’s artistic intention and the performative aspects of the installation enacted by the audience provides a space in which the viewer may (re)introduce meaning and interpretation of/for the installation. In participating, the viewer claims a place in an old growth forest, however fictive.

/BIO
Robert Turriff is currently living in Vancouver, British Columbia. He graduated in 2009 from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary. Turriff’s artwork is situated at the intersection of art and craft, informed by his experience as a film industry technician and as an artist.

REMIX is a collaboration between TELUS Spark visitors, technology and time to create a unique artwork that will evolve over the course of its run in the +15 Window.

The project will begin construction at TELUS Spark Adults Only Night on Thursday, January 12th where participants will make scribblerbots: lo-fi, high-tech devices that make a mark as they skitter across paper. Everyone’s creations will be let loose in a constructed cardboard landscape to create something that no one involved could predict, but only made possible because of the participants.
