Saturday August 158:15pm - 9:30pm
Cineworks Annex space: 235 Alexander Street, Vancouver BC
Cineworks invites you to view an outdoor artist presentation of Chroma
Chamber, an interactive new media art installation from Vancouver
based artist JG Mair.
If you could take any concept and distill it to one colour, what would
that look like? Real-time Google image results are collated by
programming to surround the viewer with the distilled colour of the
words they speak. Driven entirely by open-source custom software
written with Canadian programmer Bill Pettigrew, this installation
taps programmers, designers, and musicians to create an immersive
experience of color, light, and voice-user interface.
This event will observe social distancing guidelines promoted by the
B.C. Ministry of Health. The artist presentation will take place in
the outdoor loading bay area of our Annex space. We ask that attendees
please RSVP via eventbrite before arriving, to help us control numbers
and improve contact tracing. Hand sanitizer and face masks will be
available for attendees, however there is no washroom access at this
time.
