FUSE: DISRUPTION
Saturday, August 15, 8PM-12AM

FUSE: DISRUPTION celebrates the 10th anniversary of FUSE, Vancouver’s best art party. Featuring 50 top local and international artists, FUSE: DISRUPTION is in partnership with ISEA2015, one of the world’s most prestigious global festivals presenting work at the intersection of art and technology. Expect to experience intriguing ways in which these artists synthesize art and technology: the first global online protest software, a robot made of mud, a remotely controlled graffiti drone, a 24-hour James Franco TV channel, 3D-printed masks that protect identity, a compass for mountains and water, a software that trades human emotions as stocks, glitched Kindles, death metal music made from the sound of car chases, and many more. Altogether, these artworks investigate the contemporary moment through the lens of political, social, environmental, technological and aesthetic disruption.

Additionally, FUSE: DISRUPTION will take over the Robson Street plaza and the Robson Square Ice Rink with music performances and video projections programmed by New Forms Media Society, as well as art installations and dance activities, offering the extraordinary summer FUSE experience both inside and outside the Gallery space.
