Lo Rez Skylines / Solarpunk Futures

“Lo Rez Skylines / Solarpunk Futures” lives beyond the barriers of digital perfection. These works seep through blockchained spheres of surveillant media to drip neon pixels into the eye of the 4K panopticon.

The opening-night program will be followed by a drinks reception in the lobby and an in-cinema dance party featuring a performance by Vancouver electronic music artist SAN. SAN’s compositions, performances, and installations turn emergent artifacts of failing technology into aesthetic sonic objects, inspired by retro sci-fi, anime, and the glitches in the Matrix.
