The Unselected of the Pinwale: James Malzahn

by Rosu @ Upcoming Events – Creative Manitoba

Gallery 1C03 presents a series of photographs in its public foyer  by local interdisciplinary artist James Malzahn that critically respond to government-led mass surveillance programs. These works are presented in conjunction with Gallery 1C03’s main exhibition What Flies Above which explores the socio-political implications of drones. The Unselected of the Pinwale specifically references Optic Nerve, a mass surveillance program run by the British signals intelligence agency GCHQ and the National Security Agency of the United States of America that collected private webcam still images from users known as the “unselected”. Optic Nerve sought to build a global facial recognition database by secretly capturing still images of millions of users communicating in public and private chat rooms. Other operations monitor and record communications such as email, chat, and messaging. Users are automatically tagged when certain keywords are detected which results in their communications being stored in the massive collection and retrieval system known as Pinwale. As an artist, Malzahn assumes the role of surveillant in public chat rooms. Images and chat transcripts of users are collected and the logs are filtered through a dictionary of monitored terms. These terms are then inserted into the code of the digital image creating a distorted and false representation of the user, analogous to the way these automated systems fabricate a potential enemy by corrupting a person’s character with non-contextual data. James Malzahn is an emerging artist whose work draws on his extensive background in Internet technology and data forensics. He views technology as an artistic collaborator and as an essential component of his practice. His art proposes links between human perception and corrupted digital imagery, advancing a critique of surveillance and the abuse of technology by governments and corporations. By embedding surveillance and security technology into his photographs, paintings, prints, videos and installations he examines and exposes mounting threats to privacy. Malzahn also challenges viewers’ perceptions by incorporating image loss and data corruption to create unsettled atmospheres which also reference the workings of unethical systems. His glitched images create momentary disruptions that prompt viewers to pause and reconsider the content and, paradoxically, re-humanize the subjects portrayed. Malzahn graduated from the University of Manitoba with a BFA Honours degree in 2017. He has been the recipient of multiple grants, scholarships and awards including the Takao Tanabe Scholarship in Painting, and his work has appeared in juried and curated solo and group exhibitions. Gallery 1C03 foyer is an accessible public space that is open seven days per week from 7:00 am – 11:00 pm excluding statutory holidays. It is located on the first floor of Centennial Hall beside the UWSA Info Booth.

Creative Manitoba Rebrand

by dann@bitspacedevelopment.com @ Creative Manitoba

What happened to the Arts and Cultural Industries Association of Manitoba? We’re still here! We changed our name to Creative Manitoba, but we continue to provide the same professional development, mentorship and networking opportunities for artists and cultural workers across Manitoba. We offer a range of services for artists and cultural workers—from business skills development to youth mentorships and Indigenous programming to a creative coworking space. While our programs run near to capacity, many people were unaware of the scope of our work and of the programs offered. Over the past three years, our board and staff have worked diligently to streamline our strategic goals and communication plans. The rebrand consists of four key upgrades: a new name, logo and tagline, along with a new and improved website. The purple in our new logo symbolizes creativity. It is also the colour of Manitoba’s official flower, the prairie crocus. The crocus shape is similar to that of paintbrush bristles, reinforcing Creative Manitoba’s support of the arts sector. Use of a circle shows Creative Manitoba’s work as a uniting element to connect various creative communities. The three crocus petals symbolize Creative Manitoba’s work to strengthen, represent and connect Manitoba’s creative communities.

What Flies Above: Erika Lincoln and Reva Stone

by Rosu @ Upcoming Events – Creative Manitoba

Gallery 1C03 will present What Flies Above, a two-person exhibition of new digital and sculptural installations by Winnipeg artists Reva Stone and Erika Lincoln that explores socio-political implications of our interactions with unmanned aerial vehicles (often referred to as UAVs or drones). For two years and independently of one another, Lincoln and Stone have researched UAVs in their artistic practices. Stone’s digital works investigate how UAVs are represented in popular culture and reflect the often-unconscious stories we tell ourselves about them, including our social and cultural hopes and fears. What Flies Above will include her text-based animated projection Alphabet and an interactive computer-programmed installation titled Console. Lincoln’s interests include the trickle-down effect of mass surveillance and cybernetic technologies into consumer goods. She incorporates 3D printing to make real and imagined connections between military and recreational applications of UAVs through works such as LookingIN and LookingOUT and NGGHBelugaDrone. Erika Lincoln is a Canadian artist whose practice is centred around the nature of systems; how they hold knowledge, transmit ideas, and control behaviour. She works primarily in sculpture and includes drawing, sound, video, and kinetics as part of her approach. Over the past 17 years she has exhibited in galleries, media art festivals, and museums in North America, Europe, and Australia. She is a multi-year grant recipient from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Manitoba Arts Council and she has participated in residencies at the Banff New Media Institute in Canada (2005, 2009), Medialab Prado in Spain (2009/10), and as Artist in Residence with City of Winnipeg’s Planning Department (2014/15). Exhibition highlights include Stealing from the Real at Boston Cyberarts Gallery in Boston, USA (2015), Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts at the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin, Germany (2014),Machines – The Shapes of Movement at Manifestation Internationale d’Art de Québec in Québec, Canada (2012) and The Singing Condition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (2011). Reva Stone’s art examines the mediation between our bodies and the technologies that alter how we interact with the world. She engages with various forms of digital technologies to initiate discourses about how biotechnological and robotic practices impact the very nature of being human. Her work has included pieces such as Imaginal Expression, an endlessly mutating responsive 3D environment, Carnevale 3.0, an autonomous robot that reflects on the nature of human consciousness, and Portal, which combines custom software, media, robotics and mobile phone technology to create a work that appears to be sentient. Currently, Stone is investigating ideologies driving the development of unmanned aerial vehicles.  She examines contradictory views that portray remote killing either as efficient or as cowardly; the mix of intimacy and distance involved in remote killing; the relationship between today’s UAVs and the nuclear bomb; the changing nature of war itself, and the ethical questions that occur in targeted killing. She has received many awards, including the 2017 Distinguished Alumnae Award from the University of Manitoba, the 2015 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts and an honorable mention from Life 5.0, Art & Artificial Life International Competition, Fundación Telefónica, Madrid, Spain. She has exhibited widely in Canada, the US and Europe, has presented at symposia and has been published in journals such as Second Nature: the International Journal of Creative Media.

Culture, not oil, is our economic future

by dann@bitspacedevelopment.com @ Creative Manitoba

WAYNE GLOWACKI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Members of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet perform Dracula at the Centennial Concert Hall. Published in the Winnipeg Free Press on October 29, 2016, re-published with permission of the author. Chris Lorenc asked what might have happened had Brian Epstein never met the Beatles (Landlocked pipelines wasting our potential, Oct. 15). “Hard to imagine squandering such natural gifts,” he said. Lorenc then goes on to suggest the Beatles are not so different from Canada’s “landlocked oil resources,” which we are squandering by not having pipelines to tidewater. I would beg to differ on the contention pipelines are the solution to Canada’s economic future. Instead, I think we need to focus on the natural gifts of Canada’s musicians, artists, filmmakers and other creative-sector talents. Mirroring national and international trends, Manitoba’s arts and creative sector is the fastest-growing sector in the province. Recently published reports based on Statistics Canada survey data show the arts and creative sector in Manitoba produces a GDP impact of $1.7 billion annually and employs more than 22,000 people. With an annual GDP growth of 23 per cent since 2010, it is outpacing the provincial economy and all other sectors. These numbers show arts and the creative industries are one of Manitoba’s key economic drivers — out-producing traditional industries such as electric power generation, oil and gas extraction, engineering construction, accommodation and food service, truck transport, food manufacturing and the combined impact of mining, forestry, fishing, hunting and trapping. Looking at these numbers, perhaps it is time to re-frame what we consider to be our “natural resources.” The arts are so much more than numbers. The arts reflect our stories. They inspire us and make us question and explore the world around us. They embolden us to dare, to risk and to succeed. It is what 70 per cent of tourists are drawn here to see. Nearly every Manitoban participates in some form of art or culture — in fact, our arts and cultural attractions bring more paying customers than our professional sports teams. It seems at odds, then, that our elected officials have neglected the arts and creative industries for decades. It is only recently that Mayor Brian Bowman has implemented modest increases to the Winnipeg Arts Council — but even that is only bringing us close to $7 per capita, when the national large-city average is around $30 per capita. The provincial government has not increased its contribution to the sector in decades and has only very recently begun to examine the policies behind its investment. The last cultural policy review in Manitoba was in 1990 — and that was before the Internet existed. The impact on creative producers has been profound, yet our investment policies haven’t changed. Much is riding on the new Conservative government’s pledge to review cultural policy and investment in the arts and creative industries. We need to strengthen the financial capacity and sustainability of cultural organizations with increased and significant investment in the cultural sector. Both the civic and provincial governments also need to address the infrastructure deficit affecting existing spaces and facilities. Across the province, culture is housed and created in public buildings, historical homes, museums, libraries and other community hubs. Past investments and our architectural history risk being lost without a commitment to maintain and enhance our cultural infrastructure. Facilities in all of our communities need to be maintained, updated and renewed. Ideas may not require bricks and mortar to take shape, but transforming creative ideas into physical form often requires external facilities. While Manitoba has numerous creative spaces, the demand is greater than the supply. Creativity and innovation are words that are heard all the time, important words that are key to our collective futures. So are community, prosperity and health. The arts are at the forefront of these critical issues, just as they also happen to be at the forefront of our economic and job growth. Let’s not squander any of our precious resources. If art and culture could be considered our new metaphorical oil, then we need to invest in the equivalent refineries and pipelines. Roberta Christianson is the chairwoman of the Manitobans for the Arts. See the Winnipeg Free Press article

HMS Erebus Wreck Site Model

by Rosu @ Upcoming Events – Creative Manitoba

The first-ever scale model of the HMS Erebus wreck site is on loan from Parks Canada. This 1:40 scale model is the result of close collaboration between the Parks Canada Underwater Archaeology Team and expert model maker Fred Werthman, and is based on the original ship plans as well as the detailed records from the current research. The model depicts the wreck on the seabed as found in September 2014. It shows the hull, a portion of the debris field surrounding the wreck, accurate seabed topography, and some marine life. Many of the ship’s fittings and artifacts can be seen in this model just as they were found at the site: the bell, two cannons, four anchors, and the tiller. The model details part of the story of the 1845 Franklin Expedition and the ongoing research around the wreck. The three-dimensional model also offers details to assist researchers in their work.

JULIA PENNY, From all Walks of Life

by Rosu @ Upcoming Events – Creative Manitoba

Opening Reception on February 1st, 7-8:30 pm. This show is about immigrants… and aren’t we all immigrants, or children and grandchildren of immigrants. Julia Penny is a portrait artist living in the Interlake Region of Manitoba. She herself is an immigrant, having arrived fifty years ago in 1967 in Canada’s Centennial year. Fifty years later she is honouring as many immigrants as she possibly can with a portrait and short biography on each person she finds. The drawings are on wood panels with their story written beside them. The viewer can read their story and connect with them. We are not all that different, past or present. The drawings are of immigrants whether they came yesterday or 200 years ago. Icelanders who struggled to survive without knowing the language and yet they came. People of all nationalities who worked together to make this country what it is today. Finns, Indonesians, Ukrainians, Austrians, Poles, English, Dutch, Philippinos, Guyanans settling all across Canada… people and neighbours from all walks of life.

Why Organic is the New Black

In the not too distant past organic food was exclusively consumed by hippies and health nuts. “Natural health stores” carried more supplements than fresh food.

We don’t always know what we don’t know

by dann@bitspacedevelopment.com @ Creative Manitoba

Guest post by Meg Crane megjcrane.com I cockroachzine.com It’s difficult to sit on a good idea, especially when there’s no off-switch for the creative mind. With artistic visions constantly swirling around, it can be tempting to grab onto one and turn it into reality. Sometimes this can mean projects that wouldn’t come into fruition if they were overthought are successfully executed. Other times, it means diving into something without any of the required skills and winding up overwhelmed. This is basically my style. I was about to do this once again a few months ago by launching my second Kickstarter campaign—for 10 times the amount of the first one—without any real research into creating a successful project. Thankfully ACI Manitoba’s Mu-Zine hit my inbox and stopped me with a little blurb about Hope Nicholson’s upcoming workshop, Kickstart Your Art! A Crowdfunding Primer. In ACI Manitoba’s the Art of Managing Your Career, instructor Heather Bishop has her students write down the skills they think they need to further their work. The problem is, as she’ll say, sometimes it’s hard to identify what we don’t know, until we either know it or fall flat on our faces. Even for people who are more than happy to learn from their mistakes, the path to success is much easier for those who equip themselves with the right tools before they’re needed. If failure comes after making an effort to learn from others’ experiences, the firsthand lessons will be richer. What is learned won’t be the small mistakes which are obvious to a professional, but rather the more personal details that need to be tweaked. If I had not taken Nicholson’s workshop, I’d be disappointed that my Kickstarter didn’t go well and feel like a failure. However, the numbers, facts and reassurance she gave during the workshop are helping me now to understand that it’s not that I suck. It’s just that my expectations weren’t realistic or it wasn’t the right time. I also didn’t follow all her recommendations (such as keep the video short and concise) because I’d jumped the gun and gotten started on part of the campaign before even entering the classroom. And I thought I didn’t need to learn anything about running a Kickstarter! Take a look at your own practice. What skills have you officially been taught and which have you learned on your own? It’s possible to be a self-taught genius, but there’s still a good chance a quick workshop or consultation with an expert will either reinforce your perception that everything is under control or send you off with a few new tricks. Workshops at ACI Manitoba don’t only build skill, they also serve as great networking venues. Plus, the low cost is helping to support other local artists. It’s kind of win-win.
