With the lofty goals of humanizing machines and taking control of big, bad technology, artist Diana Burgoyne of Vancouver is coming to town to give the power to control computers and their ilk back to the people. Burgoyne likes to get folks involved in her art, creating interactive audience-participation-friendly projects which manage to incorporate drawing, sculpture, performance, sound, light, video, computer imagery and digital projections.
Through the magic of technology, she's made it so that drawing creates sound, and movement triggers video. Witness her "Sound Drawings" (Nov. 13-18) which uses copper wires connected to speakers through a line of graphite on a sheet of a paper. Burgoyne gives a talk this Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. and a vernissage/performance will take place on Thursday, Nov. 16, 7-10 p.m. All at Concordia's VAV Gallery (1395 René-Lévesque)
