Media@看片视频 is one of the many co-sponsors of , a four-day major research-creation workshop that explores the 鈥榳hen鈥� of art today, held at 看片视频 University and the Phi Centre in Montreal from September 18 through 21, 2013.
Bringing together scholars, artists, curators and the public, this event will investigate art events that intimately involve a temporal dimension, in order to explore different concepts, kinds and components of temporality in the expe riencing of art. In exploring such questions as: 鈥榳hat concepts of time are relevant to the experience of art?鈥�; 鈥榳hat are the ways in which time plays a role in such experiences?鈥� and 鈥榳hat qualities are specific to time-based arts?鈥�, Time Forms addresses art today as a critical site for resisting the homogenization of a modern 鈥渃lock time鈥� that subdivides duration into discrete and identical units. Do aesthetic experiences give us unusual experiences of time, and if so, how and to what end? How does art 鈥渕ake time felt鈥�?
This event aims to explore forms in time and the ways time forms experience by bringing together scholars and creators of artistic media that intimately involve a temporal dimension in the experience they engender. Participants will explore different concepts, kinds and components of experiential temporality as they are manifested in a variety of artistic forms. The event itself is designed to have a large-scale temporal structure that modulates the temporal experience of continuity, immersion and distraction over the whole event, within which are embedded smaller structures with an interleaving of thought-provoking scholarly presentations, performances or presentations of art forms, creative workshops, and moments of repose, reflection and nourishment or other modes of distraction such as moving around space to get to different events, thereby discovering spaces in between the events.
