Damla Tamer is an artist from Istanbul currently based in Vancouver\, and a sess ional faculty at UBC\, Art History and Visual Art Department. About three y ears ago the anecdote became an integral part of Damla’s artistic practice. The anecdote is used as a rhetorical medium that interacts with both image s and objects\, urging the spectator to both look and listen. Damla is part icularly interested in examining the artistic and political stakes of the p rocess of encountering singular events\, forgetting them\, and letting them re-emerge in contingent circumstances.
Kevin Murphy is a Vancouver artist who works primarily in 3 dimensions\, using a
variety of materials in combination with systems\, cycles\, or organisms. H
e most often investigates human relationships to ideas of ‘Nature’ and the
natural or nonhuman world\, and how these manifest in material\, economic\,
and imaginative terms.
Kevin Day is a Vancouver-based Taiwanese artis
t. With a keen interest in the fallibility of the human mind/flesh versus t
he presumed rationality of the machine\, Day’s practice revolves around the
examination of bodily and medial noise that persists in the encoded age of
cultural informatics and perpetual mediation. Informed through media\, com
munications\, and cyber theories\, Day’s practice resists the instrumentali
zation of informatics and decontextualized data by introducing the abundanc
e of slippages and noise in the process of signal transmission.
All t hree artists are alumni of the Visual Art program at UBC.
