Frederick Brummer, Dimension X | 2011 | Interactive Installation | Canada
Dimension X draws on VIVO’s 40-year archive of media production equipment for inspiration and material. Viewing it in the present and in retrospect, the collection reveals a common thread: transcendence. The basic elements of electronic media allow us to perceive things in other times, places, scales, expanding the scope of human perception. The distinction between light, sound, and magnetism are blurred in the translation of the temporal, spatial, and functional aspects of these old forms..
Dimension X is supported by the BC Arts Council, Enhanced Festival Programming grant.
Installations are open to the public Friday June 24, Saturday June 25, Sunday June 26 12-5pm
