STELARC – Exhibition and public presentationPosted: September 29th, 2010
Media Gallery Exhibition: Ear on Arm, featuring video by Stelarc. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 9-4:45 pm and Friday 9-12:45 pm. Vernissage: The artist will be in attendance Public lecture: Stelarc Free and open to the public: http://fluxmedia.concordia.ca “I have always been intrigued about engineering a soft prosthesis using my own skin, as a permanent modification of the body architecture. The assumption being that if the body was altered it might mean adjusting its awareness. Engineering an alternate anatomical architecture, one that also performs telematically. Certainly what becomes important now is not merely the body’s identity, but its connectivity- not its mobility or location, but its interface.” – Stelarc Sponsored by Fluxmedia in partnership with Concordia and the Communication Studies Department, Incubator Hybrid Lab at the Intersection of Art, Science and Ecology, University of Windsor, Elektra, NXI Gestatio, Hexagram/CIAM UQAM, Mobile Media Labs, Media Gallery, Dept. Communication Studies, Hexagram Concordia Center for Research Creation, and The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

The Media Gallery, in the Department of Communication Studies, is pleased to announce the opening of the new exhibition, Endeavour, by performance and media artist Frances Leeming. This exhibition, consisting of two animated film loops and a separate audio-track, is a wry and whimsical response to such historical but failed initiatives as the Women’s Space Program (1960) characterized as “prefeminist agitation” and a threat to NASA’s manned space exploration.
