In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Images, we present two special programs: MOMENTUM: Critical Discourse on Contemporary Image Culture and ifpod: Then and Now.
MOMENTUM is a cross-disciplinary symposium that features ten speaking engagements and events, one for each day of the festival, pairing a prominent Canadian media artist, cultural worker or theorist alongside an international counterpart.
MOMENTUM: 20th Anniversary Symposium features
Lida Abdul + John Greyson, Sophie Hackett + Barbara Hammer, Ananyansi Diaz-Cortes + Sook-Yin Lee, Guy Maddin + Bill Morrison, Philip Hoffman + Jürgen Reble, DeeDee Halleck + Jayce Salloum, Phil Minton + Michael Snow, Toby Heys + Christof Mignone, Chris Eamon + Lori Zippay and the opening MOMENTUM panel “The Currency of Culture’ with David Poole, Sara Diamond, David Craig and James Missen.
MOMENTUM symposium supported with the generous assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, Technicolor, Goethe-Institut Toronto, Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art and the Gladstone Hotel
ifpod is an experiment in polymorphous dissemination aimed at infiltrating the mobile YOUniverse with a unique collection of ten Canadian video art works – on the down load for any and every possible screen. Videos available beginning April 5th at www.imagesfestival.com/ifpod

THEN is a rare chance for the insatiable media junky to see five remarkable works from the 1970s. Using the meanest and leanest of analogue technologies works by Lisa Steele, Jane Wright, Elizabeth Vander Zaag, David Askevold and Robert Bowers are conceptually sophisticated, physical and strangely well suited for the urban, mobile screen.

NOW features recent works by emerging and mid-career artists with much of the same punch, using technology as both the method and the madness these five artists Jude Norris, Dana Inkster, Jen Norton, Jeremy Bailey and Tasman Richardson bring form and content together to challenge our understanding of media and our trust in the human subject.
ifpod project supported with the generous assistance of Telefilm Canada, RBC Royal Bank, Vtape and Twig Design.
