Currently, Lantin and Sujir are working on a SSHRC research creation grant , Breath I/O, towards a new project, Chorus of Lungs. Specifically, they are interested to engage with the spectacle of technology, which is particularly pronounced within virtual spaces, by giving a performative role to the viewer; to develop the ‘ghosts’ of technology’s dreamlike ‘vision’ spaces, working with 3D technologies, with an awareness of the mythologies and the implied narratives within the virtual spaces, and with the intention as artist-scientist creators to dismantle these spectral authorities; to consider the implications of the presence of an embodied viewer when the virtual is moved into physical spaces, into gallery spaces, festival spaces, community spaces where people convene with virtual and material spaces imbued with narratives constructed by the artists; & to work with the notion of cultural hybridity within technology and the social sphere, in particular with questions around the body and the state.

Wim Wenders

Wim Wenders ranks among the important directors of world cinema and is one of the leading representatives of “New German Film.” Undeterred by fleeting trends and big studio offers he has stuck to his guns and kept his eagerness to experiment.

Throughout his career Wenders shot a number of unconventional documentaries, including Lightning Over Water (1980), a moving portrayal about and with Nicholas Ray, followed by TOKYO-GA (1985), a tribute to the Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu whose film Tokyo Story has had a lasting influence on Wenders, and Notebook On Cities And Clothes (1989), an exploration of the work of the avant-garde fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. He also directed several music videos and the concert film Willie Nelson At Teatro (1998).

Without doubt, his best-known observation of music and musicians is the documentary Buena Vista Social Club (1999). In this loving portrait Ry Cooder rediscovers Cuban musicians, among them Ibrahim Ferrer, Ruben Gonzales and Company Segundo. The film even received an Oscar nomination. The Soul Of A Man, a film about his blues heroes Blind Willie Johnson, JB Lenoir and Skip James, followed. In 2002 Wenders made a film about his friend Wolfgang Niedecken and his Cologne band Ode To Cologne – A Rock ‘N’ Roll Film. The long-standing friendship with the Düsseldorf band “Die Toten Hosen” eventually leads to the feature film Palermo Shooting, with Campino and Dennis Hopper in the lead roles. In 2008, he is with this film in competition for the ninth time at the Cannes Film Festival.

Laurie Wilcox

Laurie Wilcox is an Associate Professor of Psychology, and Associate Director of the Centre for Vision Research at York University, Toronto. She is also cross-appointed to the graduate program in Biology at York University. She completed her graduate degrees (MA and PhD) at the University of Western Ontario, and joined the Vision Group in the Department of Ophthalmology at McGill University. In 1995 she was awarded a prestigious five-year NSERC Women’s Faculty Award and became a Chercheur Boursier at the University of Montreal. In 1996 she was offered a tenure-stream faculty position at York University. During this time she developed a strong research program focussed on fundamental properties of human stereoscopic depth perception. Her research uses psychophysical techniques to reveal properties of the neural mechanisms, which underpin stereoscopic (S3D) depth perception. In addition to basic research on S3D she has been actively involved in understanding the factors that influence viewer comfort and satisfaction when watching large format S3D film. To this end she has collaborated with industry partners such as IMAX™ to examine issues such as the effects of vertical misalignment of S3D imagery on audience satisfaction. Most recently she has also engaged with the S3D film community, giving workshops and lectures on the fundamentals of stereopsis and participating in panel discussions at film festivals. Her research has been supported a new investigator CFI award, and grants from NSERC, the Ontario Centres of Excellence, and most recently through a New Media Initiative (partnership between NSERC and Canada Council of the Arts).
