Interactions is a vernissage of intermedia. A broad interpretation of communication at the crux of digital manipulation, Interactions is a showcase of developed student works that embodies the bridge between the Montreal arts community and Concordia University. Using a variety of creative tools and inspired by texts featuring issues of copy right, protection, privacy, autonomy, surveillance, urbanity, and the mash up, Interactions seeks to disrupt face-to-face interaction paradigms and explain how current communication styles can be both beautiful and disturbing. Students pull apart interactions and explore ‘in’, ‘inter’, ‘interact’, ‘action’, ‘i’, ‘ions’ and ‘on’ to examine the intersectionality of theoretical and practical communication discourses. These artists, from the natural sciences to the social sciences, have gathered their collective work to investigate definitions of everyday and extraordinary interaction in the advent of new communication technologies and the World Wide Web. A departure from institutionalized and corporate definitions of art and media, Interactions offers the space to engage in a dialogue of investigative themes curious to the student and artist.
