Director
The 10 new and retooled silent video works presented here are each director's response to a silent and nocturnal viewing situation. They are short, eclectic and remarkably diverse, representing a glimpse of contemporary Canadian video art.
Performer
Human beings define themselves in opposition to both nature and technology. Emission attempts to confound any simplistic analysis of these worn-out dualities. The video comprises eight episodes that are grouped into three acts. The first addresses technology and language. The second implies a breakdown of language and a movement towards being animal. The third envisions a confrontation with our animal nature.
