Charge your phones and join curator Hearth and Vector Festival for a guided walking tour of A phosphene rifts, a multi-site augmented reality exhibition with artworks by Megan Feheley, Soft Turns, Lauren Warrington, Hiba Ali, and Tristan Sauer.

Ensure you are ready to view the artworks by downloading the Artivive app on your personal mobile device. Mobile data will be required. A small number of iPads will be provided for viewing.

Artworks are on display on Dundas Street West between Lansdowne and Shaw. Participants are asked to meet at Academy of Lions (1083 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1W9) and will walk farther west as a group. 

This project is presented with the support of the Little Portugal Toronto BIA.

This project has been funded by the City of Toronto’s Main Street Innovation Fund, as part of Government of Canada support through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).

ABOUT THE CURATOR

Founded in 2019 as an artist-run space, Hearth seeks to provide a site to present projects within a context that values collaboration, experimentation, and community. As a structural element in the makeup of a house, and a tool providing warmth, light, and food; a hearth gathers us towards itself, and towards each other. Hearth is collaboratively produced by Rowan Lynch, Sameen Mahboubi, Philip Ocampo, and Benjamin de Boer.

ABOUT VECTOR FESTIVAL

Presenting works across a dynamic range of exhibitions, screenings, performances, lectures, and workshops, Vector acts as a critical bridge between emergent digital platforms and new media art practice.
