Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, in partnership with Video Pool Media Arts Centre, is pleased to present a talk by curator Kathy Rae Huffman. Huffman will deliver a lecture on Enhanced Vision-Digital Video exhibition, the first online video exhibition presented by the ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Community, Enhanced Vision.

Enhanced Vision – Digital Video focuses on digital methodologies to enhance the moving image, especially looking at how effects can reveal specific meaning and content. Each work brings its own unique,original artistic style to reveal a socially significant issue, such as pollution, surveillance, personal/public space, and disaster (political, natural, nuclear, and technological).

Video Pool Media Arts Centre will host Kathy Rae Huffman from 10 – 17 April, 2016 while she researches Video Pool’s archive of videos.
