SUMMARY:Sarah Sharma: "From Mommy’s Basement to Outer Space"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will draw a line between Mommy’s Basement to Outer Space and offer a feminist alternative to the technological escapism that pervades our present moment\, justly termed the Age of You. The lone male in Mommy’s Basement\, equipped with technological portals to more habitable worlds\, is by now a common cultural trope. But the cliché goes beyond the wounded masculinity that festers in the extreme right wings of the political spectrum. Mommy’s Basement contains a motley crew of men who temporarily descend and retreat from social life\, including the hikikomori (Japan)\, alt-right hate mongers\, internet trolls\, the new precariat\, internet addicts\, gamers\, enterprising tech-bros\, and (maybe) a few geniuses hard at work. But as this talk will argue\, Mommy’s Basement isn’t a futile space: it is a powerful media lab\, where unjust ideas about gender and social difference become part of the logic of new technological designs. \nSarah Sharma is Associate Professor of Media Theory at the ICCIT/Faculty of Information and Director of the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto. Her research and teaching focuses on the relationship between technology\, time and labour and in particular on issues related to gender\, race and class. She is the author of In the Meantime: Temporality and Cultural Politics (Duke UP\, 2014) and is currently working on a new book\, The sExit\, which explores the relationship between technology\, gender and cultural fantasies of exit. At the McLuhan Centre\, Sarah directs interdisciplinary research and public programming concerned with navigating and understanding the complexities of contemporary digital life. \nRegister here \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Archiving Eden: Seed Exchange by Dornith Doherty
DESCRIPTION:Archiving Eden: Exchange presents x-ray images of 5\,000 seeds — the smallest number required to preserve a single plant species. Housed within a vault-like structure\, the installation by artist Dornith Doherty comes to life during seed exchange events\, where visitors are invited to take home an image from the vault’s walls and replace it with a transparent envelope containing a single Canadian seed. Over time\, the installation will change both physically and visually: from representational to actual\, dark to light. \nThe seeds available for exchange are representative of common agricultural crops grown in Canada\, including soy\, corn and beans\, as well as a variety of native wild plant species. The black-and-white x-rays lining the installation’s walls were captured by Doherty in collaboration with scientists at several international seed banks. \nMOCA presents Archiving Eden: Exchange as the fifth installment of Art in Use\, a series devoted to exploring the ways in which museums can be socially and politically useful. With Archiving Eden: Exchange\, viewers are encouraged to examine their collective responsibility to care for the environment while reflecting on the monumental effort required to safeguard biodiversity. At the close of the exhibition\, the 5\,000 seeds will be donated to the Toronto Botanical Garden Seed Library — a collection of vegetable\, herb and flower seeds that growers can borrow from and donate to. \nLearn more \nThe Power of a Single Seed\nWith Sayeh Dastgheib-Beheshti\n \nJoin us for a 15-minute drop-in workshop on how to grow a native Ontario plant from a single seed. Native plants have evolved over millennia to thrive in a specific climate and are an integral part of our environment. They offer food\, shelter and ecosystems for wildlife and humans alike. Each of these workshops will feature a different plant variety. You will learn about its characteristics\, its importance to wildlife\, as well as the basics of seed stratification as well as the basics of stratification and preparing a seed to grow in certain conditions.  At the end of the workshop you will leave with a seed that is already stratified\, or one that you can stratify to grow at home. \nFree\, drop-in\, all ages\, 1-4 pm \n\n\n\n\nDornith Doherty\, Vault: Exchange (detail)\, Installation view at the Ontario Science Centre Toronto\, Canada. April – August 2019.

SUMMARY:Victoria Sin: "If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now"
DESCRIPTION:If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now uses storytelling\, drag and theatrical devices to explore how language not only gives shape to thought\, but shapes thought. The performance stages a dialogue with a desiring queer body and a percussionist to illuminate how identity and experience are not only represented but also created and reinforced through language and naming. \nFor the North American premiere of If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now\, Sin performs alongside percussionist Nikki Joshi and wears a specially commissioned oceanic costume by Athens-based designer Dimitra Petsa. The work is site-responsive\, changing in composition each time it’s performed. If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now was first performed at Chi Wen gallery in Taipei and later travelled to the 2019 Venice Biennale. \nVictoria Sin is an artist whose work uses speculative fiction within performance\, moving image\, writing and print to interrupt normative processes of desire\, identification and objectification. Drawing upon personal encounters of looking and wanting\, their work presents heavily constructed fantasy narratives about the often unsettling experience of the physical within the social body. \nRecent presentations include Age of You\, MOCA\, Toronto (2019); Kiss My Genders\, Hayward Gallery\, London (2019); Meetings on Art\, Venice Biennale\, Venice (2019); BCE\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London (2019); Art Basel\, Hong Kong (2019); Park Nights\, Serpentine Galleries\, London (2018); and Indifferent Idols\, Taipei Contemporary Art Center\, Taipei (2018). \nNikki Joshi is a percussionist based in Toronto\, where she recently completed the 2018/19 Rebanks Family Fellowship at the Glenn Gould School. She holds a Master’s Degree from McGill University\, where she studied with Aiyun Huang. During her time at McGill\, she received the 2017 Mobility Award\, and travelled to Bern University of the Arts in Switzerland to conduct research at the school’s renowned Department of Music Theatre. Joshi holds a Bachelor’s Degree\, Performer’s Certificate\, Arts Leadership Certificate and 2015 John Beck Percussion Scholarship from the Eastman School of Music\, where she studied with Michael Burritt. \nSupport from Beverly and Jack Creed. \n  \nSOLD OUT \nPerformance starts at 7 pm. \n\n  \n \nVictoria Sin ft.

SUMMARY:Digital Justice Lab Workshop: Imagining Feminist Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to imagine a feminist digital voice interface? Through a series of speculative design exercises\, we will prototype and discuss what voice technologies might look like if we designed them in line with the central commitments of feminism: participation\, agency\, embodiment\, equity\, empowerment\, plurality and justice. Participants will learn the basics of designing a conversational UI but no prior coding skills are needed. \nImagining Feminist Interfaces is presented in partnership with Digital Justice Lab and Trinity Square Video. \ntendernet is a collective of female-identifying technologists\, writers\, educators\, designers and activists whose work explores speculative design\, networked devices and privacy through an intersectional feminist framework. Most recently\, the collective has led workshops aimed at developing radical feminist interventions to emerging technologies\, with a focus on voice interfaces. Becca Ricks and Zoe Bachman are co-founders of tendernet. tendernet.us \nThe Digital Justice Lab’s (DJL) mission is to focus on building a more just and equitable digital future.

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Raoul Olou
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations with MOCA is a Wednesday night brought to you by Henderson Brewing Co. MOCA will present Body of Work every second Wednesday of the month.\n\n\n \n\n\nBody 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. ‘Body’ is a term used to describe the texture and weight of beer\, and the word body in artistic practice often refers to a particular arrangement of artworks. The speakers in this series have been invited to respond to this duality.\n\n\n \n\n\n—\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRaoul Olou is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. His work focuses on ideas of home\, belonging and archiving the mundane. For his talk\, Olou will discuss his recent work and his use of documentary processes across various disciplines\, including animation\, experimental games and painting. Olou was a resident artist in the Akin Studio Program at MOCA from October 2018 – September 2019.\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome! If you’d like to reserve a spot\, you can buy a ticket for $5 and enjoy a free pint when you arrive.\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations\n\nRegister for tickets\nImage courtesy the artist.

SUMMARY:"Age of You" Drop-in Activity: Defying Facial Recognition
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFree. No tickets or registration required. Drop-in and stay as long as you would like. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Artists on Artists: Hannah Epstein on "Age of You"
DESCRIPTION: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. \nMOCA’s Artists on Artists series is a programme where local artists are invited to discuss MOCA’s current exhibitions\, or a single artwork\, in any format or direction of their choosing. \n\n  \n\n \nHannah Epstein\, You’re Tearing Me Apart\, 2019.\n

SUMMARY:From the Bay Area to the Arctic:  Shezad Dawood and Alice Xia Zhu
DESCRIPTION:Artist Shezad Dawood is joined by researcher Alice Xia Zhu for a conversation that addresses the fate of microplastics in marine and freshwater contexts\, from the San Francisco Bay to the Arctic. This programme is organised in dialogue with Shezad Dawood’s exhibition Leviathan\, presented on MOCA’s Floor 4. Leviathan is an ambitious “episodic monster” consisting of ten filmic episodes that envisage a future\, uncannily much like our present\, to consider possible links between borders\, mental health\, and marine welfare. \nShezad Dawood is an interdisciplinary artist\, who uses research and collaboration as a way of informing his work in film\, installation\, writing\, publishing\, VR and sculpture. His key concerns are marine ecology\, non-aligned movement and the ethics of place. Dawood’s work has been exhibited and won awards at multiple biennales and film festivals\, and features in the permanent collections of LACMA\, TATE\, and the British Museum\, among others. \nAlice Xia Zhu is a Master’s student working under Chelsea Rochman in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. She studies the sources and fate of microplastics in San Francisco Bay. Alice hopes her research can inform policy to mitigate plastic pollution entering The Bay. Alice is also a part of the U of T Trash Team\, a team of graduate and undergraduate students who strive to connect people and increase literacy concerning material consumption and waste with creative and practical actions. \nPublic programmes for Leviathan are supported by Brenda Simpson.  \nRegister Here \nImage Credit: Location in the Arctic\, Clara Thaysen\, 2017.

SUMMARY:What is The Extreme Self?
DESCRIPTION:Shumon Basar\, Douglas Coupland and Agnieszka Kurant in conversation.\nModerated by Joachim Johnson \nDuring the opening week of Age of You\, we present a conversation that delves into the exhibition’s key concern: data. How have we become our data\, and how is our data becoming us? Artist Agnieszka Kurant and two of the exhibition’s curators\, Shumon Basar and Douglas Coupland\, are joined by moderator Joachim Johnson of HXOUSE to discuss our current and ever-accelerating technological moment. \nThis panel discussion is presented in partnership with HXOUSE. \nBiographies \nInterdisciplinary artist Agnieszka Kurant explores how complex social\, economic and cultural systems can operate in ways that confuse distinctions between fiction and reality or nature and culture. She investigates “the economy of the invisible\,” in which immaterial and imaginary entities\, fictions\, phantoms and emergent processes influence political and economic systems. \nSince 1991 Douglas Coupland has written thirteen novels. He is a columnist for the Financial Times\, and since 2000\, amplified his visual art production with a number of museum retrospectives\, in Canada\, The Netherlands and Germany. \nJoachim Johnson is a Toronto-based artist\, creative consultant and the Creative Director of HXOUSE; a non-profit\, next-generation incubator and accelerator at the forefront of fostering innovation and opportunity for creative entrepreneurs. For over ten years\, Johnson has worked internationally as a photographer and filmmaker with brands including Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford\, and with artists including Nelly Furtado and The Weeknd. \nShumon Basar is a Berlin/Dubai based Commissioner of the Global Art Forum. He is Editor-at-Large at Tank magazine\, Contributing Editor at Bidoun\, Curator-at-Large at Art Jameel and a member of the Fondazione Prada’s Thought Council. \nReserve your tickets \nThis event is sold out.

SUMMARY:Vector Festival | Bio-Sonification: Non-Human Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Collaborate bio-sonically with non-human organisms around you! As part of Vector Festival\, InterAccess is pleased to partner with MOCA Toronto to host a free workshop with Tosca Hidalgo y Terán. Drop by on Sunday\, July 14 between 1-4pm on Floor 1 to listen to bio-data through various analogue synthesizers\, plants\, moss and mushrooms and experience a non-human bio-sonification symphony! \nBio-sonification is a process to translate complex real-time sensor data into musical notes and controls\, exploring the auditory sensory modality to provide insights into invisible phenomenon. Participants will get a chance to place electrodes onto plants\, fungi\, themselves or each other to have their bio-data turned into music. \nAbout the Artists: Tosca Teran\, aka Nanotopia\, is an interdisciplinary artist. Her work has been featured at SOFA New York\, Culture Canada\, and The Toronto Design Exchange. Tosca has been awarded artist residencies with Nes\, Skagaströnd\, The Ayatana Research Program in Ottawa and The Icelandic Visual Artists Association through Sím\, Reykjavik Iceland. Tosca is currently an invited Bio-Artist in residence at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto in partnership with the Ontario Science Centre. This summer Tosca will further her research in bio-sonification and bio-remediation with local mycologists at Bilpin Australia where she is the recipient of the 2019 BigCi Environmental Award at Wollemi National Park within the UNESCO World Heritage site in the Greater Blue Mountains. \n“I view my research as a collaborative effort with the non-Human entities I touch\, caress\, grow. Having ‘minds’ of their own\, my work explores sculpting forms with living mycelium\, and bio-sonification. My fascination with mycelium (the root structure of mushrooms) is compounded by a number of factors: fungi are neither plant nor animal and fungi can clean up ecological disasters.” \nCheck out more of Tosca’s work here:\nNanotopia.net\nwww.toscateran.com\n@MothAntler \nAbout Vector Festival: Vector Festival is a participatory and community-oriented initiative dedicated to showcasing digital games and creative media practices. Presenting works across a dynamic range of exhibitions\, screenings\, performances\, lectures\, and workshops\, Vector acts as a critical bridge between emergent digital platforms and new media art practice. The festival was founded in 2013 as the “Vector Game Art & New Media Festival” by an independent group of artists and curators: Skot Deeming\, Clint Enns\, Christine Kim\, and Katie Micak\, who were later joined by Diana Poulsen and Martin Zeilinger. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Mark Dion in conversation with Marc Mayer | 'The Life of a Dead Tree'
DESCRIPTION:Floor 2 \nTickets: $15 general admission\, $10 member pricing \nMark Dion is an artist whose work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. In Dion’s practice\, the lines between art and science are often blurred. On the opening of his exhibition\, The Life of a Dead Tree\, the artist is joined by Marc Mayer for a lively discussion that focuses on the intersections between art and science in relation to nature and how these considerations manifest in his exhibition at MOCA. \nAbout Mark Dion \nMark Dion has received numerous awards\, including the ninth annual Larry Aldrich Foundation Award (2001)\, The Joan Mitchell Foundation Award (2007) and the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Lucida Art Award (2008).
