NEW WORK COMMISSIONED BY THE TORONTO ANIMATED IMAGE SOCIETY (facebook event page)
The Toronto Animated Image Society (TAIS) in conjunction with Trinity Square Video (TSV) and Vtape, present Hello Amiga, a special animation project. TAIS has commissioned six artists to create experimental animations that return to the roots of digital culture by exploring Amiga computers that were popularized for graphics processing and image creation in the 1980s and early 1990s. Artists Daniel Barrow, Barry Doupé, Amy Lockhart, Alex McLeod, Lorna Mills and Mark Pellegrino have created works that generate necessary critical discourse around the use of old technology through new manipulations.
