Part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche
October 1, 2011
Zone A - #23 | 6:59PM-sunrise
Bata Shoe Museum
327 Bloor Street West MAP
The CFC Media Lab's interactive installations featured in Technological Displacement at The Bata Shoe Museum will explore acoustic, phonetic, and visual/physical spaces as a collision between old and new environments using digital technologies. Projects range from taking the ethereal phonetic tweet and converting it into an object – to a visual exploration of deep space using the whole body as the navigational instrument on a screen.
Commemorating the centenary anniversary of the life of Marshall McLuhan, the father of communication studies, we celebrate his work and influence on screen-based media. The exhibition is inspired by his theories about the global village, as they relate to environments that are navigated, and tensions that exist between old and new technologies.

Zone C - #57 | 6:59PM-sunrise
TIFF Bell Lightbox
350 King Street West MAP
Reinforcing the often improvisational and collective aspects of the filmmaking process - with a dash of the whimsy of a group art project – Movie Studio Playhouse takes live feeds of participants acting in spontaneously-created films and enables the audience to manipulate these feeds in a number of different playful ways. As participants engage in filmmaking fun, the images of they create will be projected onto various surfaces at TIFF Bell Lightbox where VJs will mix, manipulate, mash, and multiply these live video streams and turn them into wonderful moving digital paintings. Audience members will participate in this Live VJ extravaganza by tagging these images with digital graffiti using CFC Media Lab’s skrtch application.
Scotiabank Nuit Blanche is a signature event produced by the City of Toronto.
