Le phénomène Dorkbot se répand sur tout le globe et nous avons la chance de créer un Dorkbot à l'image des talents de Montréal et de représenter notre chère ville sur la scène internationale en tant que premier Dorkbot de la francophonie.

The Gallery seeks proposals in all media from local, national and international artists and curators who offer challenging viewpoints on these issues, incorporating diverse and innovative approaches that explore the definition and boundaries of "community" and "culture."

Expansion of Orchestration Technique Through the Use of a Spectrally Based Computerized Orchestration Aid
May 25, 2006 at 4:30 p.m.
A computerized aid to orchestration that greatly extends the use of spectral analysis in orchestration is introduced. It is made of two parts: a bank of Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) accessed by a group of sub-routines designed to either perform sound analysis or propose different orchestrations that imitate the spectral energy pattern of a reference sound.

Sheila and Nicholas Pye. A Life of Errors
June 2 to July 8, 2006
Opening reception June 2 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Sheila and Nick Pye are multidisciplinary artists whose innovative work seeks to homogenize the mediums of photography, film, and video, and thus to critique and explore the boundaries of contemporary visual communication. The artists' practice is concerned with the differing and combined perceptions of the moving image and the still image in the gallery context. Interpreting similar subject matter represented in both time-based and still photographic media through their process of art-making and installation further probes these methods of visual literacy and communication. Through photographic, cinematic and performative means, the artists concentrate on the body as both a material and an object.
