Sub Terranean Edmonton Media arts Festival

Metro Cinema, Latitude 53, and FAVA are collaborating to present a festival of non-traditional media arts: STEM Cell, the Sub-Terranean Edmonton Media-Arts Festival. It will take place at Metro Cinema, LATITUDE 53 AND FAVA in downtown Edmonton between April 12th and April 14th 2007.

These three organizations, although quite diverse, share an interest in contemporary media arts practice. We approach the media arts in different ways, (through production, workshops, screenings & installations), but we collectively acknowledge that there is a large middle ground of work, and types of work, that is not often seen in Edmonton. There are communities of media artists and organizations throughout Canada (and western Canada); but somehow, Edmonton has historically not been as intimate a part of those networks as we could be.
