Container Art at the Pacific National Exhibition

Emily Carr students and alumni will be showing at this year's Container Art Show at the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition). Located at Spirit Plaza within the PNE in Vancouver, Container Art will provide fair-goers with the opportunity to see how 13 BC artists transform metal containers into colourful, dynamic and thought-provoking works of art.

Chun Hua Catherine Dong | Everywhere and All at Once (Installation)

Everywhere and All at Once is a loop video projected on a 3' x 4' table. This video reveals four people, two males and two females, all wearing red nail polish and playing mahjong. The viewers are encouraged to sit on the chairs to participate and experience new roles both in virtual and reality in a playful way.

Jonny Østrem | O. (Projection + Prints)

O" is  a four minute animation exploring the emergence of biological and

perceptual complexity within a chaotic universe. The accompanying four large-scale images continue to explore the aesthetic developed in O. and extend the experience of grasping at complexity.

Karen Garrett de Luna | Ning Ning (Interactive installation)

Ning Ning is an interactive swarm of LEDs that reacts to both stillness and motion. Installed in a corridor or along a path, Ning Ning invites viewers to sit and stay awhile, encouraging quietude by piquing the interest of passersby with dynamically choreographed LEDs masquerading as flirtatious lightning bugs.
