<br />
Thx to Darren Kregar and Dave Shaw of James North General Store fame for the umbrella and pic! <br />
It was great to see Kerry Wade and Patricia Lynn Bebee (and meet her Mom) over at Blackbird Studios. Wonderful to see Angela DeMontigny of DeMontigny Boutique & Gallery and catch up to both Ace Piva and Nicole McCormick. Popped into Shaolin Underground, Hamilton and it was good to see Barbara Hanson Swift, and Ned, and Jamie Oakes and Paul Intson there. JamesNorth was not so busy, so there were many chances to stop and chat. Great to see Stephen Hossbach and Dave, Steven Twigg, Andrew McPhail, Joe, Nina Clements while at Hamilton Artists Inc.. Awesome visit with John Cinequemani at Art at 231 and good to see Wayne Gooderham and John Bak. Kudos to trooper Lacie Victoria and Drew Taylor for setting up their art on James. Wonderful to see Jennifer Lockman and Brian, Krish, Kevon, Dan Weiss and Justine when I popped into Art Crawl: Naked Wild & Andreas at The Brew.<br />
There is an amazing exhibit showing at You Me Gallery if You get a chance to wander over by artist Bryce Kanbara. Wrapped up the night with a visit to Burlap & Twine to see Dominika. Final stop of the evening: SoundHaus 03 - Experiments in Light and Sound!. Great to see Astrid, Garret, Darcy, Dan Zen, Darryl Gold, Jim Ruxton, Tanja Groos, Frances Dawn Locs, Sue Upton, Tim Tickner and Lee Skinner there. Have a great month and catch You at the May #Artcawl...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1sNV6-T3kj7yyIoFmM2dr59yFTB51mFReLF8j3bccL-FShUO7RsQ94WOC0KLW1l7I2sRCl0cqUneV_APfN2dYw8yQnO-vTD7ujF-Y9MtER6PURQsnw0tcMZ614dVxoG-ljghSC6cf9Q/s1600/20180413_190615.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1sNV6-T3kj7yyIoFmM2dr59yFTB51mFReLF8j3bccL-FShUO7RsQ94WOC0KLW1l7I2sRCl0cqUneV_APfN2dYw8yQnO-vTD7ujF-Y9MtER6PURQsnw0tcMZ614dVxoG-ljghSC6cf9Q/s320/20180413_190615.jpg" width="240" height="320" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>Hamiltonwriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11269965382734136625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065423698514390194.post-73077057894957871802017-11-27T16:02:00.001-08:002017-11-27T16:02:42.325-08:00<br />

[Fractalize]<br />
<br />
<br />
Once upon a time is not what it used to be. Storytelling and sharing stories in the digital age engages the reader/user/viewer in a multi-sensory experience using multimedia movies that combine photographs, video, animation, sound, music and text using computer based tools to tell the story. <br />
<br />
FRACTALIZE is a work of hypermedia fiction. A collaborative multimedia arts project created by artist and cinematographer Lesley Loksi Chan, composer and digital media artist Tony Vieira and musician Arthur Yeung.<br />
<br />
The first installment in the FRACTALIZE series is an ongoing collaboration and fractal/forensic media arts project entitled, I've Loved You From Afar.<br />
<br />
I've Loved You From Afar is a carefully crafted media piece which follows the story of Elizabeth and Richard. Their affair explores themes of ecstasy of distance and isolation while touching on desire. It features multiple pieces that represent more than one truth in an environment without a plot, that curiously end up telling without telling, a modern love story about the two characters. <br />
<br />
How they have come to be is told in narrative fractals in the form of gallery exhibits, performances, happenings, alternate reality experiences, web videos, photographs, music, text messages, sound art, 360º video, augmented reality, and social media posts. <br />
<br />
I've Loved You From Afar “Is really an experiment in e-literacy. [We are] experimenting with the different ways a story can be told [while using] as many media as possible to engage the end user. I don’t think of [the audience solely] as a viewer, reader or a listener, because [the audience] is all of them, an end user, sort of like a video game.” says Tony Vieira. <br />
<br />
Elizabeth and Richard interact in limited fashion. Their relationship is on display in an immersive experience for the viewer with interwoven imagery, Tinder style pictures that consistently offer a bird's eye view into the depth of the couple's connection. Theirs is a modern love story unfolding in a time duet in a perceived future that has appeal for a romantic tourist. <br />
<br />
The exhibit and accompanying videos distil the essence of creative storytelling in what could either be a dream or time spent in virtual reality. It is unlike linear stories that we are used to, and has no narrator. <br />
<br />
It's an emotional telling that delves into Elizabeth and Richard's relationship as you try understand the beauty of their connection, as flash backs of memory, video and sound bytes make their union come alive.<br />
<br />
Their story communicates a moving tale while we empathize with the disconnect, desire, honesty and the ache of long distance romances. <br />
Or does it? <br />
It seems out of time, beyond the screen. <br />
Is it a dream?<br />
Is it a game?<br />
<br />
Technology is changing the ways stories have been traditionally told. I've Loved You From Afar signals a shift from passive viewing to something more interactive. Parts of the story are these fractals with intentional gaps that allow the viewer to fill in based on their own experiences, anxieties, and desires. Indeed, it hooks you emotionally as the visceral angst triggers your own feelings and memories as their tale unfolds. <br />
<br />
“I always think of the tone of the story in a way that is similar to the way I experience dreams and memory, which is a little strange, not always linear, not always making sense.” says Viera. <br />
<br />
It is a talk back through time. Layered. Unconventional. A maze. <br />
One is left with unsettling emotions to a sense of awe as the journey wraps with the confession of one of the lovers. <br />
<br />
By the end of it of I've Loved You From Afar, I walked away with a very distinct inclination to be more present in the moment with my loved ones. <br />
<br />
I've Loved You From Afar is a romance across space and time. <br />
Told uniquely in hypermedia, as a work of fiction, <br />
is a fractal reminiscence unlike any other. <br />
This could be the future of story telling.<br />

I love this place. There are so many talented people here...<br />
<br />
It's an amazing time to be an Artist/Musician and Creative in Hamilton.<br />
There are resources, networking meet-ups, shows, live events, mentors, festivals and more, here at your disposal just waiting to be tapped. (Just need to find a way to be able to monetize this talent in ways that are win-win).<br />
<br />
I can't remember a time when we've been able to access so many galleries and live events on any given night of the week. It's exciting to know that the Hamilton arts/music culture is here now!<br />
What a great time to be a part of the scene...<br />
<br />
