At this seminal moment in our institution’s history, the series brings together practitioners from across a range of practices and fields of inquiry to ask how we imagine the art, media and design university of the 21st century. Through various platforms, the series explores the relationship between the proposed campus and the land on which it will be built, the communities that surround it, and the historical and urban context of the site, and its promise to become a central element in a new creative and cultural district in the City of Vancouver.

IF'14, More-Than-Human Worlds combines interdisciplinary academic research with explorations in new media and design practice to consider alternative conceptions of human relations with other animals and the environment. The inquiry calls upon methodologies within environmental studies, philosophy, Eastern beliefs, First Nations’ mythologies, critical animal studies, culture studies, and art and design practices using new technologies and interactive modes, to propose approaches towards improved human awareness about and relationships with more-than-human worlds.

Emily Carr University is proud to host Web Type West 2014, a symposium directed towards designers and developers working in the web industry. The event will cover many different aspects of web typography, including how to use it, how to choose it, and how it works.

Student pricing is available!
