EMMEDIA is proud to present PARTICLE + WAVE, an annual media arts festival consisting of exhibitions, screenings and audiovisual performances by local, national and international media artists, in partnership with TELUS Spark Science Centre. Over nearly a decade PARTICLE + WAVE has established itself among the most popular festivals for Alberta media artists and the arts-passionate public. EMMEDIA has developed a unique role outside of the commercial media industries, focusing on independent artists who work with technology across all genres that is experimental, challenging, interdisciplinary, performative, community-based and/or culturally-diverse. Featuring a group exhibition of 4 artworks at EMMEDIA mixing digital and analog technology, 3 installations at TELUS Spark's Feature Gallery, an immersive musical performance and 10 short films full of animation, dance, music, and collage, in collaboration with the National accessArts Centre screened at TELUS Spark's Infinity Dome theatre. This festival will showcase an art form that by its very nature, is constantly evolving and growing with the integration of ever-changing technological processes!
