SUMMARY:Historical Society of Ottawa (Virtual): The Role of Art and Artists in Ottawa's History
DESCRIPTION:When the Arts Canada Institute wanted to commission a series of new books about the history of art and artists across Canada\, it began by approaching Jim Burant to write a book about the art and artists of Ottawa. \nThe comprehensive book that resulted from Jim’s work is a spectacular illustrated tour of Ottawa’s surprising artistic past. \nIt also proves a striking reminder of how invaluable the earliest sketches and paintings of Bytown are to our understanding of our past… and of how the photographs of Topley and Karsh and others have provided us with further lasting images of those bygone eras. \nThanks to the brushes and camera lenses of these long ago artists\, we are able to witness the Chaudiere Falls before tamed… the Rideau Canal first being surveyed by Colonel By… Vice-Regal couples hosting early skating parties… the great fires that swept through Ottawa-Hull… Winston Churchill visiting during wartime. \nHistory from even further back is preserved in ancient Indigenous pictographs. \nAnd what of 20th century artists like Mine & MacLeod and contemporary artists like Annie Pootoogook? \nJoin us on Wednesday\, April 26 @ 7 p.m. on Zoom with archivist and author Jim Burant as guest speaker for our HSO Speaker Series presentation\, “The Role of Art & Artists in Ottawa’s History”.

SUMMARY:Myseum of Toronto: Nuville at the Brickworks\, Natural Medicine | MYSEUM INTERSECTIONS FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:Step into the shoes of a citizen from a megacity of the future in this experimental role-playing game. \nRaaraLab invites attendees on this interactive walk\, set in a Torontonian sci-fi future. Be a part of the first audience to test this experimental game! \nIn order to join this unique test group\, you’ll need a smartphone\, a set of headphones\, and a keen curiosity to explore the early stages of this unconventional new game. \nOn this Nuville tour\, you’ll test a live-action-role-playing game directed through your phone. You’ll role-play with fellow attendees as Nuville citizens who are on a mission to hack the city’s “algorithm.” You’ll be directed to complete a series of tasks that challenge the flow of urban life by rebuilding your relationship to place\, presence and humanness. \nStep into the world of Nuville. \nIn the world of Nuville\, you live in a future where the planet’s population has found refuge from the climate crisis in a megacity built by artificial intelligence. Built on robotic intelligence\, productivity is the name of the game – but at what cost to humanity? \nWhile Nuville appears to be the high-tech city of our dreams\, humans have become disconnected from city-building\, history\, the environment\, and each other. Wanting to reconnect\, you join a collective of citizens-turned-hackers\, called “Hacker D-Central\,” who want to hack the system and make Nuville more human.
