Ice fishing and art, who knew they went together!
Wonderful art and scholarship Art+Cold+improvisation residency at Lake Ketepwa. Thanks to all the artists and scholars who joined us from University of Regina, Brandon University, and the artistic community for three days of explorations about the relationship between improvising, art and this cold place we live. Ironically, it was a really warm weekend, but the lake was still frozen! We have decided to show the work in development on the website for the larger event Colder Than Mars rather than here, so expect it up in the next few weeks.

COLD+ART/ Creative Technologies and Improvisation Artist Residency
COLD+ART/ Creative Technologies and Improvisation Artist Residency
Curated by Rebecca Caines + Megan Smith
March 11-13
This pilot artist residency explores improvisation, the body, technology and art making through responding to winter lakes in Saskatchewan. A group of 8 improvisation-based artists and curators will spend 3 days in the Northern Saskatchewan lake areas walking, ice fishing, skiing and exploring ice and landscape as creative stimulus for audio art, audiovisual work and visual practices including data visualization and sonification. This curated artist residency is a pilot to explore how winter landscape and technology can be brought into conversation in creative technologies art practice in Saskatchewan. Samples of the work will be featured on the Regina Improvisation Studies Centre website (reginaimprovcentre.org) and form the basis for ongoing research into the place of emerging technology in socially-engaged art practice.
RISC Researchers will also be participating in panel talks, hackathons, improvised performances, and other events, all part of Colder Than Mars: Humanzing Data on the Prairies
