A Great Turn Out! POWEr by a r t i f i c i e l + DigitalCultures001

Truly electrifying digital night!

Last night – November 29, 2010, CE3C, MADT and the Illingworth Kerr Gallery (IKG) presented POWEr by a r t i f i c i e l and DigitalCultures001 as a part of Digital Alberta’s DigitalCultures001 – A Night of Digital Art and Culture.

At 6pm, we started with DigitalCulture001, which showcased digital artworks from 12 Calgary-based artists (Martha Affleck, Caitlind Brown, Greg Debicki + Jennifer Vallis, Luba Diduch, Nathan Hansen, Kurtis Lesick, Kim Seung Pen, Paul Robert, Adam Tindale, Shiori Saito + Garrett Baumgartner). Their artistic practices using digital media cover a lot of ground such as audio-visual performance, interactivity and film.
