The New Westminster New Media Gallery is inviting everyone in for some thought-provoking conversation.
The gallery is hosting another discussion in its Fresh Talk series on Saturday, April 22 from 2 to 4 p.m.
The discussion will look at topics raised by the current BRINK exhibition at the gallery, which features works by five international artists. The talk will look at the politics of choice and balance, technology and trust, law and technology, imagining artificial intelligence, and the future of robotics and automation – for starters.
On the panel for the talk are Zoë Druick, Micheal Vonn and Kate Hennessy.
Druick is associate dean of the faculty of communication, art and technology at Simon Fraser University. Her primary areas of teaching and research are media studies, cultural industries and cultural theory.
Vonn is a lawyer and has been the policy director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association since 2004. She’s a frequent speaker on issues of privacy, national security, policing, surveillance and free speech.
Hennessy is an assistant professor specializing in media at SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology.
Everyone is welcome to the talk. The New Media Gallery is at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. See www.newmediagallery.ca for more details.
