Going to the movies has long been associated with dream and sleep. For the past decade, Vancouver-based artist Scott Billings has investigated this connection between cinema and the unconscious through his unique repurposing of the machinery of spectacle: film projectors, television monitors, programmable concert lighting, and IMAX film.

Billings will discuss both his past and current artwork, including A Risky Jump, on display in Surrey Art Gallery’s TechLab.
