How has the digital encouraged new means of creative expression in applied technologies? What affordances have evolutions in the digital realm provided for teaching and learning? Which digital skills support creativity? And which creative strategies are best suited to digital innovation?
In support of the North Space relaunch, Humber Galleries is organizing an inaugural symposium that will engage faculty members, students and guests in a critical discussion on definitions of the digital contemporary.
As part of the event, enjoy the social and academic commentary of keynote speaker Michael Longford, an Associate Professor in Digital Media at York University, and acting Director of Sensorium: Centre for Digital Arts & Technology. His most recent project “Tentacles” was included in the 2011 exhibition, Talk to Me: Design and Communication between People and Objects at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
This event is organized by Humber Galleries.
