Mean Time to Upgrade
Exhibition: September 19November 22, 2014
Opening Reception: September 19, 7-9pm
Featuring works by: Phil Baljeu, Steve Daniels, Hannah Epstein, Dragan Espenschied, Nancy Paterson, Bill Perry
Artworks in a tenuous stage in their lives are presented in a group exhibition at InterAccess. The works were chosen through a call for works in "existential crisis" for which a decision to upgrade may fundamentally change the works meaning or threaten its artistic integrity. Focusing on the problems and paradoxes found in upgrading and preserving new media artworks, the exhibition pauses on the moment before a perceived inevitable upgrade and asks what we might find in the meantime. The project challenges the notion of technological determinism from the perspective of a non-collecting institution.
Join us in the gallery for the opening reception on September 19 at 7PM. InterAccess is located at 9 Ossington Ave. Toronto.
