[x] Deanne Achong, Group of X, Fri Nov 20, 7pm

[Jim Andrews]

I'm pleased to announce that Deanne Achong will be talking to the Group 
of X on Friday November 20 at 7pm.

*******************
BIO
*******************

Deanne Achong is an artist based in Vancouver, BC. Her practice explores 
concepts of time, narrative,
and archival ‘fictions’ through various new-media projects—net-art, 
blogs, robots, and apps. She also
works with photography, video and installations. She has sat on the 
board of several artist-run centers,
including Other Sights for Artists’ Projects, a collective presenting 
public art projects. She has exhibited
her work in Canada, the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. She recently 
completed a multi-phase public art
project with Faith Moosang, installed at the Richmond Olympic Oval, as 
well as an app (Lulu Sweet: A
Gold Rush Tale in 8 Acts). This past summer she presented a beta version 
of her current app Lusca, at
ELO in Bergen, Norway, and The Obsolescence Project at ISEA at the VAG. 
She has an MFA from UBC,
and a BFA from NSCAD.

*******************
TALK DESCRIPTION
*******************

She will chat about both old and much more recent projects; speculate 
about obsolescence (how do you
solve the problem of old projects that linger online well past their due 
date?), a monster’s consciousness,
and a very new public art commission.
