Artist talk

Saturday, May 9, 2009, 2 pm

A live e-round table discussion with Toronto artist and curator Richard Fung and artist Alison S. M. Kobayashi, and Montreal curator Alice Jim and artist Ayesha Hameed.

Moments began in 1998 as a fun way to introduce new technology to Asian artists during the month of May as part of Asian Heritage month. Technology has since zeta-leaped and 10 Moments in 2008 was a turning point. Wait… a Minute!, in 2009, is a stop action and reflection of the role, power and challenges of technology and where Asian Canadian artists fit today.
