"Through the study of exemplary media works and practices - photography, film, video, performance, installations, web cams - scholars from various disciplines call attention to the unsettling of identification and the disablement of vision in contemporary aesthetics. To look at an image that prevents the stabilization of identification, identity and place; to perceive a representation that oscillates between visibility and invisibility; ..."
"The work of Angela Grauerholz occupies an important place in Canadian and international photography. From the 1980s on, her search to redefine the art of photography has taken various forms including portraits and interior and exterior scenes with or without people. Yet regardless of the subject, her work gives an impression of timelessness with images that are both commonplace and sublime. This retrospective publication covers twenty y ..."
"Resemblance and Identification: The Paradox of Gary Schneider's Genetic Self-
Portrait hélène samson Translated from the French by Timothy Barnard Gary
Schneider is one of a growing number of artists taking up the theme of genetics in
portrait photography.1 His Genetic Self-Portrait (1997–98) has been shown at the
National Gallery of Canada as part of an exhibition of artists' portraits.2 In this
chapter, I attempt to show how this ..."
"The subject is always already photographed in the purview of the gaze and is
always, thus, both subject and object of a kind of looking. The image in general is
itself a screen, the site where subject and object, self and other, intertwine to
produce intersubjective meaning. 14 But, more specifically, as Dore Bowen
describes the effects of the media screen, “the screen is what reveals or, when
unaddressed, obscures the relation bet ..."
"La découverte scientifique et la maîtrise de l'électricité ont bouleversé notre société au même titre que l'invention de l'écriture alphabétique durant l'Antiquité et de l'imprimerie à caractères mobiles au XVe siècle. Il ne s'agit pas seulement d'un phénomène naturel mis au service de l'homme par la science, mais d'un élément central de l'épistémè moderne : l'électricité a inspiré des écrivains et des artistes, a servi de force d'impul ..."
"Referencing Stéphane Mallarmé, the dancer Loïe Fuller, Euclid and Vaslav Nijinsky, Davis presents four new works which explore the relationships between geometry, dance and time. Over the last twenty years, the Toronto-based artist has developed an installation practice that, while eschewing easy classification, has resulted in a range of highly evocative works that are intellectually demanding, yet resonate on visual, visceral and mate ..."
"A multidisciplinary artist before the invention of the term, Edmund Alleyn (1931-2004) moved from medium to medium, producing a prodigious body of work. At a time when art was defined by movements and manifestos, Alleyn's creative restlessness led him to break away from Greenbergian principles to explore new ground. In the 1950s, under the influence of Paul-Emile Borduas and Jean-Paul Riopelle, he mastered abstract modernism before taki ..."
"Since 2003, Canadian photographer Michel Campeau has traveled the world to photograph darkrooms. These chambers of analog photography, where icons of picture making were crafted through the use of chemicals on silver gelatin paper, today seem like allusions to a time long gone. Martin Parr wrote about it: "Most photographers have spent hours and days in that peculiar environment known as the darkroom. Here, prints are magically created ..."

"It is therefore understandable that memory architectures, in their contemporary, essentially digital, actualization are at the heart of a transformation of the human mind."
