Join us in launching Word Hoard's second issue "The Unrecyclable," an event organized in collaboration with the Artlab Gallery, Department of Visual Arts, ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ. The evening showcases speakers whose work centers on the politics and practices of unrecyclability in public space.
Also featured is an installation by multi-media artist David Bobier. He is currently partnering with the Inclusive Media and Design Centre at Ryerson University in researching vibrotactile technology. As Founder/Director of VibraFusionLab, London, ON he follows a holistic approach to creating vibratory ‘compositions’ and investigating broader sensory applications and emotionality in art making. This installation employs a Vibrotactile prototype developed at Ryerson and the Soundbeam system to consider the combination of sound and vibration as a language of creation and exploration.
Word Hoard is an interdisciplinary journal of the Arts and Humanities, which exists to publish the work of graduate students working at ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ, across Canada and beyond, and is affiliated with the Graduate English Society at ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ. Using a uniquely dialogic editorial model through which content editors respond to published articles with essays, interviews and other forms of responsive tissue, Word Hoard’s aim is to create a space for public conversation among the disciplines.
