What does the internet look like to you? MOCA invites you to consider this question as you explore the exhibition "Age of You", which highlights themes like data, artificial intelligence, surveillance and the limitless capabilities of the internet. Then, visit the Art Hub on Floor 1 and draw how you imagine the internet in your mind’s eye. You can add your drawing to a cumulative piece that will reveal, over the course of the day, how our visitors see the internet — as an infinite, sprawling collective of images and ideas.
Stephanie Comilang creates a video, light, scent and textile installation for Nuit Blanche. "It All Makes Sense" recreates a memory of the first time Comilang saw "Perfumed Nightmare" by Kidlat Tahimik — a figure who, like Comilang’s father, comes from Baguio, a mountain city and old American airbase in the Philippines. This teen moment in a basement changed Comilang’s perspective on life.
Pint-Sized Conversations a weekly Wednesday night brought to you by Henderson Brewing Co. MOCA will present "Body of Work" every second Wednesday of the month.
"Body of Work" talks invite artists and those who have worked across the floors of MOCA Toronto—members of Akin's Studio Program, Art Metropole, the Ontario Science Centre's studio residency and the Toronto Biennial—to discuss their individual practices.
Hannah Epstein works at the cross-section of textiles, experimental games and video art to reimagine the iconography of popular culture, highlighting the cultural negotiation between bottom-up (folk) and top-down (institutional) storytelling. By blurring the lines between traditional craft, popular culture and contemporary art, she aims to isolate and eliminate notions of hierarchy as archaic relics. Epstein will lead a tour and discussion of "Age of You", with refreshments to follow.
Art Toronto invites you to gallery hop across 13 top contemporary galleries in Toronto's west end. The following galleries will be welcoming all art enthusiasts for a night of refreshments, cocktails and incredible art! This event is open to the public and free of charge.
Join us for one of our engaging Column Conversations — free, drop-in tours that shine a light on different parts of the museum from week to week.
“Fall” into MOCA on Sunday, October 27 and join Sterling Rd. in a community free day at the museum!
Bring your whole family out to taste delicious delights from local vendors, peruse our locally sourced pumpkin patch, and decorate the perfect pumpkin (or your face) in one of our Akin artist led workshops.
Think you can outsmart facial recognition? In this workshop, participants will design and construct masks and headpieces inspired by CV Dazzle, a project by artist Adam Harvey that provides information and tips for creating “looks” that can camouflage the face from face detection technology. Using elements such as asymmetry, tonal inverse and the concealment of certain facial features, you will be able to learn and test which design combinations are most effective in hiding from facial recognition technology.
