Radar: Cloud Theory, Goethe Films, the City Below, An Evening with Albert Watson, Spinzo Takes Over SPiN

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY | Cloud Theory
The atmospheric masses of clouds that shift and change above us has inspired a science and technology discussion series where experts in various fields will gather to discuss universal access and the infinite future. Cloud Theory presents its first meeting, CT1, at The Spoke Club tonight, where the group will begin to define itself through discussion with six speakers on the cloud theme, including "Cloud Atlas" author David Mitchell, Kelly Rose from Panda Robotics and and genius Christopher Langan, who is known for reportedly breaking the ceiling of the IQ test. The online presale through Wantickets.com ends today at 2PM.
The Spoke Club (600 King Street West) 4:30PM $45

FILM | GOETHE FILMS: The City Below
Goethe Films picks up its fall screening program where it left off last year: focusing on films that land in the realm of culture and economy, beginning with The City Below. A German film on the greed and debt behind the financial crisis, Christoph Hochh채usler's drama about a rich corporate worker and a young woman barely making ends meet premieres in Toronto tonight with a foreword by Hewlett-Packard Chair Dirk Matten. Tickets are available beginning at 10AM at the TIFF Bell Lightbox Box Office.

PHOTOGRAPHY | An Evening with Albert Watson
Fine art and fashion photographer Albert Watson has been creating through a lens for over 40 years, with his greatest successes having appeared on the covers of Vogue, Rolling Stone and TIME Magazine. The iconic work of the Scottish artist will be examined when Watson presents an hour-long slideshow and discussion of his images at the Berkeley Church tonight. Not only will he cover famous images of rock stars and celebrities, but also the work in his books, which he will be signing at the event. The discussion coincides with the launch of Albert Watson: Archive at Izzy Gallery (106 Yorkville Avenue), which opens November 1st.
Berkeley Church (315 Queen Street East) 7:30PM $35
