FIFTH INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL MINPRINT EXHIBITION (Canada)

An exhibition which will allow us to share our cultural differences, our singular artistic practices while belonging to an international artistic community. The small size of miniprints offers a democratic and easily transportable format, yet is strikingly intense in its intimacy. These works impose a particular onus upon the artist to develop the full potential of a small image. The closeness betwen the work and its creator carries both sensual and emotional feelings for spectators as they draw nearer to the works in order to appreciate them.
Une expo pour partager la diversité culturelle, la singularité des pratiques artistiques et l’appartenance à une communauté artistique internationale. Les petits formats de la miniature sont démocratiques, faciles de transport et intenses par l’intimité qu’ils exigent. Ils demandent de l’artiste une attention particulière pour dégager tout le potentiel d’une image réduite. La proximité avec l’œuvre est des plus sensuelle et émotive pour le regardant puisqu’il doit s’en rapprocher pour bien la voir.

Syneme will hold a ground breaking summer workshop on TeleArts from July 5-23, 2010, at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada at the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The workshop explores the collaborative potential of mixed media/reality and live performance over high-speed networks using the power of 1 gigabit research networks. Real-time distance collaboration and performance will be the focus of our exploration. Syneme’s Telearts summer workshop aims to attract professional artists and musicians without year-round access to high-speed networks. Attendees will implement projects utilizing Syneme's (and those of our partner's) robust network infrastructure that carries HD video and uncompressed multichannel audio. A major focus of the course is to share ideas/methodologies in progress as related to telearts projects. The workshop will conclude with an international networked, real-time collaborative performance.

Syneme’s partners include the Banff Centre, Mcgill and Concordia Montreal, IDC Emily Carr, CEMC and Peking Univ Beijing, NUS Singapore, SARC Belfast, University of Waikata NZ, City University of Hong Kong, Bournemouth UK, and Stanford and Indiana Purdue US.
