low-rez, or low-resolution, plays homage to low-tech media and mediums. The exhibition honours the intersections of Indigenous storytelling, new media, Indigenous futurism, and available consumer technologies. low-rez celebrates storytelling through light based mediums, shape shifting and optical illusion, coding, and glitch photography. Together, the works create the synergy of futurism combined with low-key visuals, Northern Lights, and Northwest Coast First Nations aesthetics.
On May 30th from 6-8pm, join us for an opening reception featuring light snacks and refreshments. This event is free and open to the public.
