General Lectures & Workshops

The S3D Centre at Emily Carr and The Canadian 3D Society invite you to The VFX of Godzilla, presented by Moving Picture Company (MPC) Vancouver.

With Godzilla’s massive 200M+ worldwide box office success, it's clear that people love the new Godzilla reboot. Did you know principal photography took place in BC? And that Vancouver’s own MPC was the lead VFX studio on the film? We are in for a real treat with Sepp Sonntag, Environment Supervisor and Ken Beauchamp, MPC Lead FX Technical Director at MPC for a behind the scenes look at the VFX of Godzilla.

Join the S3D Centre at Emily Carr and VanVR meetup group for an evening of Virtual Reality demos, projects and networking.

Curious about cultural practice, or the future of Emily Carr? We serve up ideas, not drinks!

(Parenthesis) investigates the role Emily Carr plays in community and public life. You are our community, whether you studied here or not, whether you studied academically or not, whatever your age or inclination, and we invite your ideas, input and inquiry.

The idea cafe gives you a chance to crack open some of the big questions facing the Emily Carr community, and to participate in conversations facilitated by a broad range of faculty. Each of four sessions poses questions and introduces ideas facing our university as we approach our relocation in Fall of 2016.

Material Matters is holding the 6th 3D printing Meetup!

Please join us for an information session about platFORM, a project by Andreas Eiken and Maia Rowan in collaboration with Lisa Papania from the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University and the Social + Interactive Media (SIM) Centre at Emily Carr.

platFORM is a 3 credit, six week long collaborative product development class for design and business students. The class will take place during July 2014. Design students will work in trans-disciplinary teams with business students from SFU to develop products, services, and systems that address contemporary social, economic, and environmental issues with the goal of turning the projects into start-ups.

In partnership with the Contemporary Art Gallery, an artist talk by Florence Derieux will take place at Emily Carr University. Director of Frac Champagne-Ardenne in France, Florence Derieux will discuss her recent curatorial projects at Reims and Art Basel.

Wilson J. Tang will be at Emily Carr for a lunchtime talk entitled The Future AS Entertainment.

“I’ve been fortunate to have made a career in digital entertainment, making the virtual SEEM real – from planet sized cities of the Star Wars on the big screen, to the real-time mobile game worlds at Kabam on the small screens. Somewhere along the way the lines have blurred – where once i designed user interfaces for automotive racing games, I began designing user interfaces for real world automotive corporations. I will discuss some of these past projects and speculate about what the future of Entertainment holds.”

Join the VANCOUVER BIENNALE at Emily Carr University for a moderated discussion featuring five breakthrough Brazilian artists participating in the Biennale International Residency Program.
