WELCOME MESSAGES

Office of the Mayor City of OttawaOn behalf of Members of Ottawa City Council, it is my distinct pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to all those participating in the 11th Creative City Network Summit, convening under the theme “Recalculating: Culture in a Digital World”, taking place at prominent municipal arts venues in the heart of our nation’s capital from May 29 to 31, 2013.

The Summit provides a valuable forum for artists, the academia and culture stakeholders to come together to share knowledge and creative ideas, as well as to learn more about the latest developments in digital technology and its application in the arts and culture. Ottawa’s thriving digital media sector boasts more than 250 companies, including firms specializing in video gaming and animation. The Ottawa Film Office plays a collaborative role in the promotion of the creative aspect of digital media production and the development of this very innovative industry.

Capitalizing on innovation and creativity, the City of Ottawa is moving forward with a proposed redevelopment project at the municipal Bayview Yards to build an innovation complex, with the potential for a multi-purpose studio of benefit to digital media artists.

Our City has also embarked on exciting plans to expand its Arts Court cultural facility, with designs for a 120-seat screening room, in addition to enhanced production and exhibition spaces for media artists of SAW Video and Gallery, Artengine, along with the Independent Filmmakers Cooperative, creating a vibrant media arts hub.

As Mayor of the host city, I want to congratulate the Creative City Network of Canada, along with the Summit facilitators, keynote speakers, artists and volunteers, who have dedicated efforts, expertise, talents and resources to the successful organization of this innovative meeting of national scope.

Allow me to convey my best wishes to all the participants for a very productive and rewarding assembly, as well as for a most enjoyable stay in Ottawa.

Sincerely,

Jim Watson, Mayor

Bureau du maire Ville d’OttawaAu nom des membres du Conseil municipal d’Ottawa, je souhaite la plus cordiale bienvenue à tous les participants au 11e Sommet des villes créatives, ayant pour thème « L’adaptation culturelle dans un monde numérique », qui se déroule dans d’importantes installations municipales à vocation artistique situées au coeur de notre capitale nationale, du 29 au 31 mai 2013.

Le Sommet offre aux artistes, au monde universitaire et aux intervenants du milieu culturel une précieuse occasion de se réunir et d’échanger des connaissances et des idées créatrices ainsi que de se renseigner sur l’évolution récente de la technologie numérique et de ses applications dans les arts et la culture.

Le dynamique secteur des médias numériques d’Ottawa regroupe plus de 250 entreprises, dont un certain nombre sont spécialisées dans les jeux vidéo et l’animation. L’Office du film d’Ottawa collabore à la promotion de l’aspect créatif de la production numérique et au développement de cette industrie très innovatrice.

Misant sur l’innovation et la créativité, la Ville d’Ottawa fait des progrès quant au projet de réaménagement des dépôts municipaux Bayview, visant la construction d’un complexe d’innovation qui pourrait accueillir un studio polyvalent dont profiteraient les artistes spécialisés en médias numériques.

La Ville a aussi amorcé un passionnant projet d’agrandissement de son installation culturelle appelée la Cour des arts. Le plan prévoit une salle de visionnement de 120 places ainsi qu’améliorées des salles de production et d’exposition pour les artistes en arts médiatiques de SAW Video, de la Galerie SAW, d’Artengine et de l’Independent Filmmakers Cooperative, ce qui créera un carrefour dynamique pour les arts médiatiques.

En ma qualité de maire de la ville hôte, je tiens à féliciter le Réseau des villes créatives du Canada, ainsi que les animateurs du Sommet et les conférenciers, artistes et bénévoles qui ont consacré leurs efforts, leurs compétences, leur talent et leurs ressources au succès de cette réunion innovatrice d’envergure nationale.

Je souhaite à tous les participants une rencontre des plus productives et enrichissantes ainsi qu’un très agréable séjour à Ottawa.

Cordialement,

Jim Watson, Maire

On behalf of the Board of the Creative City Network of Canada, I would like to welcome you to our Nation’s capital for our 11th annual Summit.

We are living in a new and changing world, and the choice is ours as to whether to accept, embrace and adapt to the changing technologies, or just ignore them and hope they go away. Well…I hate to be the bearer of challenging news, but the times, they are a’ changin’, and it will happen with or without us. Recalculating: Culture in a Digital World is this year’s theme. Methods of communication and engagement

that no one ever imagined less than ten years ago, are now common place and have changed the way we do business, interact with each other, and interpret and deliver cultural services to our communities.

The Creative City Network doesn’t run itself of course, and I would encourage all of you to consider getting more involved. We strive to have a coast to coast to coast board that represents the interests of municipalities big and small. Please feel free to ask myself or anyone on the Board about our role with the Network, how you might become a greater part of it, and how we might be able to serve you better. As a community of interest, it’s in our best interests to share stories and to find common ground.

I would like to extend a big thank you to the City of Ottawa for their warm welcome and wonderful support. I would also like to thank the 2013 Summit organizing committee and would particularly like to mention the chair, Sheila McKinnon and our hard working Ottawa board member Caroline Obeid. With their dedicated committee, many volunteer hours have been spent programming and polishing everything you will be enjoying!

Enjoy the Summit!

Ian Forsyth, President, CCNC

Dear Summit Delegates,

Welcome to the 2013 Creative City Summit in our nation’s capital, Ottawa!

In a Municipal Knowledge Series publication entitled “10 Trends for Smarter Communities” writer Gord Hume shared a listing for Canada’s smartest cities from the Canadian Learning Council. It’s probably no coincidence that the CCNC Summits have been taking place in many of these cities. Hume states that whatever tools are used for determining a “smart” community much of the positioning comes

from a commitment to certain key elements including: lifelong learning; a community that embraces exciting and different urban design and policies; a community that embraces art, culture, heritage, and a strong sense of place; vibrant public spaces; and a commitment to the latest technology and a climate for technology innovation.

Many of these key elements will be explored during this years’ Summit. Our theme “Recalculating: Culture in a Digital World” specifically addresses how new technologies are impacting the planning and delivery of the arts in our communities. The keynote speakers this year include: Sara Diamond, Denis Bertrand, Janine Marchessault, and we have three panel discussions and over a dozen peer to peer presentations. So be prepared to become smarter!

The Summit will also impress you with the variety of facilities we are utilizing and inspire you through engaging study tours and evening events that include a Pecha Kucha night and Digi60 Filmakers Festival. It’s going to be a cultural marathon and you won’t want to miss a thing.

Thanks to our wonderful hosts, the City of Ottawa. Wishing everyone an excellent Summit.

Sheila McKinnon, Secretary, CCNC

2013 Summit Theme: Recalculating: Culture in a Digital World

As digital technology diversifies and accelerates, its effects on cultural planning and the cultural community are empowering yet challenging. The 11th Creative City Network Summit will remap the field with new research, insights by leading creative individuals and experiences of innovative arts organizations. Join us to explore digital hubs, digital participation and communication, and to debate digital impacts on the cultural realm. From public art, to facilities, to cultural policy, to promotion and participation, to art creation – it’s a new digital world to navigate.

Thème du Sommet 2013 : L’adaptation culturelle dans un monde numérique

Alors que la technologie numérique se diversifie et qu’elle évolue à pas accélérés, son incidence sur la planification et la communauté culturelles non seulement offre de nouvelles possibilités, mais aussi lance de nouveaux défis. Le 11e Sommet des villes créatives tentera de cartographier l’évolution actuelle de cette technologie grâce à de nouvelles recherches, de nouveaux points de vue exprimés par des grands créateurs connus et de nouvelles expériences vécues par des organismes d’arts novateurs. Venez vous joindre à nous pour examiner les centres numériques ainsi que la participation et la communication à l’âge numérique, et débattre des répercussions de la technologique numérique sur le royaume culturel. De l’art public aux installations, en passant par les politiques culturelles, la promotion et la participation, sans oublier la création artistique, le monde numérique est un nouvel espace qu’il nous faut apprendre à naviguer.

DR. SARA DIAMOND, Toronto, ON

Canada’s Creative Community and the City of the ImaginationToronto-based Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCADU) is Canada’s “University of the Imagination.” OCAD University has set “city building” as one of its strategic priorities. We see the city - imaginary and actual - as many overlapping entities such as its governance structure, the built space, its diverse communities, its energy use and carbon outputs or the virtual pathways and

7

processes that are often unseen. All of these elements are layered in the experience of the city. We will share our philosophy and strategies for imagining and building a Creative City derived in part from our work with international partners and many sectors such as the City of Toronto, cultural institutions, creative industries, the technology sector, healthcare institutions, and developers. As a specialized art, design and media university OCAD University has developed a series of tools that facilitate an understanding of the forces that drive change. Strategic foresight practiced by OCAD University’s sLab helps us to imagine trends and paint scenarios. Data analytics and visualizations from the Centre for Information Visualization and Data Driven Design can provide metaphors and insights that reveal the virtual and material city in novel ways. Action research engages communities in collaborations to understand and change their communities. Visual art and environmental design provide other dimensions that allow us to re-imagine the city of the present and propose a City of and for the imagination. From these layered entities, partnerships and processes what kind of city will emerge?

La ville de l’imagination et les communautés créatives au CanadaSituée à Toronto, l’Université de l’École d’art et de design de l’Ontario (UEADO) est « l’Université de l‘imagination » du Canada. L’UEADO s’est fixé comme une de ses priorités stratégiques de « bâtir la ville ». Nous considérons la ville, qu’il s’agisse de la ville imaginaire ou de la ville réelle, comme un canevas d’entités qui se chevauchent, par exemple la structure de gouvernance, l’espace construit, les diverses communautés qui compose la ville, l’utilisation d’énergie et les émissions de carbone, les voies d’accès virtuelles et les processus qui souvent sont invisibles. Ces différents éléments représentent les différentes strates constitutives de la ville. Nous avons pour mission de partager notre philosophie et nos stratégies visant à imaginer et construire une cité créative qui découlent, en partie, de notre collaboration avec des partenaires œuvrant à l’échelle internationale et dans de nombreux secteurs, comme la Ville de Toronto, les institutions culturelles, les industries créatives, le secteur de la technologie, les institutions des soins de santé et les promoteurs. En tant qu’institution spécialisée en art, en design et en médias, l’UEADO a mis au point un ensemble d’outils qui permettent de mieux comprendre les forces à l’œuvre qui animent le changement. L’anticipation stratégique, qui est au cœur des activités du laboratoire de l’UEADO, nous aide à nous représenter les tendances qui se dessinent et à concevoir des scénarios d’approche. À l’appui des analyses de données et les visualisations fournies par le Centre for Information Visualization and Data Driven Design (Centre de la visualisation de l’information et la conception axée sur les données), nous pouvons concevoir des métaphores et des perspectives qui révèlent la ville tant réelle que virtuelle par de nouvelles approches. La recherche-action mobilise les communautés et les incite à collaborer pour arriver à une compréhension du contexte et à stimuler le changement au

sein des collectivités. Les arts visuels et l’aménagement de l’environnement procurent d’autres dimensions qui nous aident à imaginer la ville au présent sous un nouvel angle et à esquisser les plans d’une ville redéfinie ou élaborer la ville de l’imagination. Quel type de ville émergera de ces diverses fondations sous-jacentes, que ce soient des entités, des partenariats ou des processus?

Oakville: Transforming a surplus school into a Community and Cultural CentreIn March 2012, the Town of Oakville opened Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre one of Canada’s largest community and cultural centres. Created from a surplus 1970’s high school, the 144,000 square foot facility includes over 70,000 square feet of cultural space including, a black box theatre, rehearsal hall, gallery, ceramics studio, woodworking studio, fine arts studios, fibre arts studio, dance studio, recording studios and music rooms. The facility also contains a full recreation centre including multipurpose rooms, active living studios, a pool and two gymnasia. A youth centre, seniors’ centre, and café, are also housed in the facility and the building is home to the Oakville Arts Council and is a satellite location for the Oakville Historical Society.

This presentation will provide an overview of the Town of Oakville’s process from acquiring a surplus school though the delivery of an operating plan to Council, the facilities opening, and lessons learned through the first year of operations. Covered will also be the process of determining needs, working with community groups and the process of building engagement and community.

Repurposing surplus school buildings is a trend that we anticipate will continue to grow in Canadian communities and with the current dearth of arts infrastructure, the Town of Oakville believes there will be significant interest in Queen Elizabeth Park Community Centre.

A Renewed Action Plan for Arts, Heritage and Culture in Ottawa (2013 – 2018): First Nations, Inuit and Métis Arts, Heritage and CultureThe Ottawa 20/20 Arts and Heritage Plan was approved by Ottawa City Council in 2003, and included 20-year strategic directions, strategies and a first five-year action plan. Following a two-year renewal process, City Council approved a Renewed Action Plan for Arts, Heritage and Culture (2013-2018) in February 2012.

The renewed plan focuses on actions attached to Ottawa’s unique identity. Renewal brought together the strongest diversity of representation and participation ever for municipal cultural planning purposes in the area. Voices of First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals and communities; representatives of the Anglophone and Francophone cultural mosaic; diverse citizenry from rural, suburban and urban neighbourhoods; new Canadians and arts, heritage, festival and fair representatives were heard.

Built on traditional Algonquin Anishinabeg land, the Ottawa area has served as a meeting place for Indigenous and Aboriginal peoples for up to 10,000 years. Ottawa has the third fastest growing urban Aboriginal population in Canada and the largest Inuit community outside of the North.

A gap was uncovered during the renewal process related to recognition, commemoration, reclamation, development, awareness, investment and access to First Nations, Inuit and Métis arts, heritage and culture in Ottawa. The renewed plan includes actions related to the honouring and recognition of the Algonquin Anishinabeg First Nation as the Indigenous community in Ottawa; in addition to the development of various First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultural initiatives.

New research on Canadians’ use of digital media in performing arts CAPACOA in partnership with CCNC has just published the results of a two year-long study on the value and benefits of performing arts presentation.

Canadians’ and presenters’ use of digital, online and broadcast media were explored through original primary research conducted during the Value of Presenting Study as well as trends identified through other recent research. In this presentation, the project leaders will share highlights of findings and discuss implications for the arts and cultural sector.

We have learned that digital technologies have been widely accepted as part of performances of all kinds. Presenters are also learning how to effectively use online and social media to build relationships with audiences and the community. Artists and production companies are experimenting with new technologies as a way to deliver live performance experiences. Through examples we will bring the research data to life.

As part of this presentation, we will also showcase the digital media results of a unique partnership between CAPACOA, the Value of Presenting Study team and Canadian Geographic’s Canadian Atlas Online.

This presentation will inform a discussion about ways to navigate a fluid environment where the demands of supporting the arts community, meeting the changing tastes of diverse audiences and the public at large and purposefully realizing the profound civic benefits that flow from the arts and culture converge.

Urban Screens Technology, Programming and Management in Surrey and MississaugaSURREY: Large outdoor screens are increasing in number, scale and prevalence throughout the urban landscape. Attractive as television and using similar quick changing imagery, they are effective tools for pushing marketing messages into the public realm. But they can also be effective tools at community building and enhancing the urban realm with critical and artistic content. There is an international community of operators who use them for cultural development purposes, and many new publications taking a critical look at their impact.

The City of Surrey is home to one of the largest non-commercial urban screens in North America. Surrey Urban Screen measures over 30 metres wide, and has the capacity to support interactive digital media including audio. Initiated by digital artists, and created as the public art feature for a new recreation facility, despite not having an ideal black wall surface, Surrey Urban Screen has become an important venue for presenting a range of digital artwork that responds to urban life including local and online communities.

This short presentation will describe in practical, easy to understand terms, the technology required to support this venue, as well as its creation costs and ongoing operating model.

Established in 2010, Surrey Urban Screen has now completed three years of programming, including some very challenging art projects. This presentation will also include some of the lessons learned in the process of supporting Surrey Urban Screen artworks.

MISSISSAUGA: Mississauga Celebration Square is the modern interpretation of the traditional town plaza. Designed to support a variety of activities, the space is built with a wide array of technologies. At the forefront of the technologies are the large set of digital media screens that overlook the Square.

These large screens are programmed in a strictly non-commercial manner. All content is divided into three categories; 1) public service announcements, 2) on-site event based content and, 3) public art and/or film.

Internally, we create and manage content for the first two categories but seek the help of community partners to deliver content for the third category. We have successfully partnered with our local art gallery to engage the community to participate in our annual film calls. The jury selected artwork ranged from short 30 second clips to 30 minute experimental films. Through

15



this successful collaboration, the gallery and the City were both able to successfully provide opportunities for emerging artists to showcase their artwork on the digital screens in downtown Mississauga.

The eclectic mix of content has contributed and raised the profile of the square within the city and surrounding communities. And as whole, Mississauga Celebration Square has dramatically increased the civic pride of our residents and has become a central hub of activity in the core of our downtown sector.

Indicators and performance measures for municipal cultural planningThis presentation introduces a framework for municipal staff and other interested parties that they can use to measure and evaluate the inputs, processes and outcomes of Municipal Cultural Planning (MCP). This presentation discusses indicators and how to choose them; identifies data sources that are available to municipal staff; and discusses data collection methodologies. It will explain how you can choose what to measure in your community and how to pick the indicators to measure it. It also provides a menu of more than 70 indicators. The presentation will discuss ways of measuring the impacts of MCP as:

• Inputsprimarilyintermsofmoney;• Processesthatidentify,strengthenandleverageculturalresources;integrateMCPinto

municipal planning and decision making; • OutcomesofMCPintermsofcreativity,wealth,qualityplaces,socialcohesionandthe

organizational change that result from engaging in MCP.

Where municipalities already do cultural planning it is hoped that this presentation will enable them to establish program objectives and be better able to measure impacts and outcomes. For municipalities that have not yet adopted MCP, we hope that the presentation will demonstrate to elected officials and other decision makers that the impacts of MCP can be measured and the benefits evaluated and that this will in turn encourage them to support MCP. Colin Wiginton will demonstrate how he has used the framework for cultural program planning in Kingston.

Creating the digital cultural community in KingstonThis presentation describes how the City of Kingston Cultural Services Department is working with the City’s Information Technology Department and the Canadian Urban Institute to develop

the technical infrastructure and enhance the City’s current GIS capabilities to provide improved data and applications for all cultural resources in the community. It shows how cultural information held by City departments, arts, heritage and tourism organizations is being digitized into a cultural resource database (CRD) that can be regularly and reliably updated.

It will describe how this CRD is used as the digital information source for a wide variety of applications (many not yet invented) that will enhance the visitor experience; improve customer service; and make cultural information easily accessible on a wide range of screen technology (laptops, tablets, handhelds etc.). We will also discuss how Kingston’s online map interface would allow each category of the database to be viewed in isolation or in specific combinations and eventually to enable users to create new entries, or to add content to existing datasets. We will also introduce the steps that are being taken to develop the ‘Holy Grail’ of cultural resource mapping – an online cultural events calendar.

Four lessons from theatre on connecting with communities through social media Theatres and performing arts companies have set designers and lighting designers. What about having a social designer? Alongside his role promoting interactivity as Artistic Director at Praxis Theatre, Michael has designed social media tools for Volcano Theatre as part of The Luminato Festival, a national series of political cabarets called The Wrecking Ball, and his own work as a Neil Munro Intern Director at The Shaw Festival. Michael will reflect on the demands placed on an arts organization when it uses social media to engage with its community and the shift away from marketing departments and towards artists and audiences as social media content creators.

Invest YYC: Using Technology to Put the “Public” in Public Arts FundingPropelled by rapid change in all sectors of society, governments at all levels are examining current approaches to investing in the arts and the impact this investment has on the communities they serve. The digital age provides opportunities for exploring innovative models of arts support that directly engage the public. Among these is the rise of crowdfunding, or micro-financing, a powerful way to connect artists to a community of supporters.

In this presentation, Karen Ball, Former Executive Director of Calgary2012, and Jeffrey Anderson, Executive Director, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, will discuss the development and early results of InvestYYC.

InvestYYC.com is an online, micro-finance and micro-volunteer tool designed to assist Calgary and area artists and non-profit arts organizations by creating a space where their strongest, most inspiring work can be supported by citizens. At the same time, by making a direct connection to creative projects that resonate with them, citizens are given a sense of ownership and a stake in the cultural future of their city. Partners in the project included Calgary2012, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Calgary Arts Development and ATB Financial. The project is a legacy from Calgary’s Cultural Capital year.

The panel will explore the partnerships that made InvestYYC possible, talk about the way in which existing practices such as peer assessment are integrated into the approach, and demonstrate the online tool.

BIO Jeffrey Anderson is the Executive Director of the Arts Branch for Alberta Culture and also serves as the Executive Director the

Alberta Foundation for the Arts. From 2008-10 he was seconded to Alberta’s Cultural Policy Initiative to establish the Premier’s Council on Culture and to begin implementation of The Spirit of Alberta, Alberta’s cultural policy.

Pecha Kucha: The word for sneeze in Japanese?The 2013 Creative City Summit includes a Pecha Kucha evening, so what is it and why would you want to be there? PK (for short) actually did start in Tokyo, in the design and architecture community. It means chit-chat, to describe the talk and slide show evenings held by designers and architects. As you can imagine, these presentations stretched to become hyper-detailed, with endless slide shows. So, in self-defense, a new presentation format was devised: 20 slides for 20 seconds each, for a presentation limited to 6 minutes and twenty seconds total. The evenings feature up to ten speakers, and are followed by a mix and mingle afterwards. PK has now spread to 534 cities around the world. The audience gets a super-concise and frequently surprising feast of ideas and creative people.

What’s the connection to arts and cities? Some presenters are artists; others are scientists, digital hackers, or social entrepreneurs. All of them are denizens of a creative city. This mix of art, science and cross-disciplinary experimentation generates innovative projects. Pecha Kucha is a great space for seeing what’s going on and imagining how it can apply to your own community.

Engagement in the Arts: Strengthening the relationship between the arts and communities

The concept of cultural participation or public involvement in the arts is one of the current trends concerning the development of audiences. Three main objectives underlying it: to show that citizens are not only consumers, but also practitioners of the arts; to enhance and strengthen the relationship between artists, cultural institutions and populations they serve, to witness the daily presence of the

arts in the lives of the Canadians. Thence, the keynote will focus on the interest that municipalities should be given to this concept, as well as a new version of it, thereof the community engagement for and by the arts.

Engagement du public envers les arts : comment resserrer les liens entre les arts et les communautésLe concept de la participation culturelle ou de l’engagement du public envers les arts est

20

une des tendances courantes en matière de développement de publics. Trois objectifs principaux sous-tendent celui-ci: démontrer que les citoyennes et les citoyens ne sont pas seulement des consommatrices et des consommateurs, mais aussi des praticiennes et des praticiens des arts; valoriser et renforcer les rapports entre les artistes, les institutions culturelles et les populations qu’ils desservent; témoigner de la présence quotidienne des arts dans la vie des Canadiennes et des Canadiens. L’atelier portera donc sur l’intérêt que les municipalités devraient accorder à ce concept, de même qu’à une nouvelle version de ce dernier, soit l’engagement communautaire pour et par les arts.

Creative projects such as these are often temporary, and only sometimes physical, but they can catalyse permanent changes to a place. These projects are part of a wider movement often referred to as tactical urbanism or pop-up planning, where small scale urban interventions and actions are strategically implemented in the public realm to serve a larger purpose.

The session will touch on how the creative projects made use of interactive websites, social media and online surveys, but it will also show how the virtual and digital are a means to getting people out for a visceral, in-person experience of a place.

MATT THOMAS, LondonFuse, London, ON

Digital Density: Online tools for creative communities One of the best ways Canadian cities can encourage the growth of the creative economy is by increasing urban density. Creating a dense urban environment creates more opportunities for social interaction, public discourse, and clusters of creative groups and people. However, building these sought-after dense urban environments is becoming increasingly unrealistic for many Canadian cities due the costly infrastructure changes required. Or is it?

LondonFuse is a non-profit organization in London, Ontario which supports the city’s creative and cultural communities. We have been exploring the use of new and cost effective web-based tools to design the type of environments needed for the creative economy to flourish on a local scale. Through the use of www.londonfuse.ca, we have been successful in creating an open community that encourages social interactions and discussions specifically for London’s creative individuals and cultural organizations. We call this digital density. The innovative web platform serves as a tool for creative people to connect with one another locally, and share their accomplishments to the rest of the world. Through the use of www.neighbourgoodguide.ca, we have used digital tools to help create a sense of place in London, by allowing individuals to share their favorite public places and neighbourhoods with one another. In my presentation at the Creative City Summit, I would like to share the details of these web applications, their success in our community, and show how they may be used to empower creative communities in other Canadian cities.

5 things you need to know about digital media when planning for a new or retrofitted performing arts facility365 Installations has a proven track record working with City staff, artists, facility managers and sub-contractors. Our projects run the gamut from something as simple as flat screen televisions with looping DVD players right up to 10m by 30m edge blended projector scenes with interactive video elements. If there is one thing we’ve learned over the years it’s that “Content is King” and it can also be the one element that costs you the most in additional expenses. If you have failed to consider how the content will drive the needs for Audio/Visual Equipment then you probably have not accurately anticipated your future costs and program requirements.

Our presentation focuses on the 5 digital media elements that can cost you the most (in cash, time and reputation). Whether you are working with flat screen TVs or giant projector installations, or LED lighting, you’ll want to review our check list to avoid ordering last minute equipment, paying for additional technical support, and future proofing your investment. By integrating these 5 elements with facility planning we will work toward creating a list of key elements to include in your plan. These will include but are not limited to ensuring secure power for AV needs, separating Internet requirements from your confidential networks, locating control systems within the building, understanding special event needs as distinct from recurring facility needs, and of course, how to work with an integration consultant to ensure all future programming needs are anticipated or at least considered.

Putting Cultural Assets on the Map: A case study of Ontario Many communities in Canada are undertaking cultural mapping as a tool to aid planning and promote development. This proposal will examine the “whys” and “hows” of cultural mapping in Ontario, using a sample of 64 communities that received support from the Creative Communities and Prosperity Fund between 2009 and 2012.

The communities studied had populations ranging from a low of 275 to a high of 2.6 million people and were distributed throughout the province. The types of assets mapped, the stated

25




purposes of the mapping, and the degree to which public consultations were part of the mapping process varied according to the size of the community, as did the degree to which communities actually developed a map in either digital or hard copy format. The presentation will provide an overview of the case study findings and, based on this comparative analysis, attempt to draw conclusions about the factors that influenced communities’ approaches to cultural planning and promoted a successful cultural mapping initiative.

ANDREW MILNE, bv02, Ottawa, ON

Location, Context and Timing: Is your audience ready? The future of digital engagement will be built around three factors: location, context and timing. This will require a variety of techniques, and in many cases, can raise the question of whether the audience is ready for adopting new ways of engaging with cultural content. The answer? Audiences have been ready for years. They’re listening, watching and waiting for institutions to step up and engage in new ways.

To best connect with these audiences, cultural institutions must push towards a digital environment that focuses on niche engagements. Exposing and granting access to curatorial content is the mandate for cultural organizations, and even with locally-focused content, that mandate goes beyond local boundaries. Digital engagements extend valuable local content, making it available to the niche audiences who are looking for it. By creating a space for those audiences to come together, cultural institutions will drive the next phase of engagement.

In this presentation, Andrew Milne, founder and CEO of bv02, will discuss the strategy needed to move away from a static repository of content, towards a more engaging and effective use of digital tools. He’s facilitated this strategic transition through his work with leading cultural institutions, including the Canada Council for the Arts, the National Gallery of Canada and the National Arts Centre. The shift towards digital tools that build and maintain relationships with niche markets will be the defining trend of 2013 in digital culture, and it is the shift that audiences have been waiting for.

The Impact of new technologies on the artsThe Digital Transitions Report published in 2011 by the Canadian Public Art Funders group (the Canada Council plus the Provincial cultural agencies) provides useful definitions of digital arts and reveals the complex impact of technology and social media on arts disciplines across the country. Useful overviews of the impacts on creation, production and distribution for these disciplines are provided, along with a number of recommendations for funders. CALQ noted these findings, while also undertaking an extensive process of interdepartmental discussions, consultations with the arts community and a survey. The resulting recommendations and options formed the report: Faire rayonnner la culture Quebécoise dans l’universe numérique. Approved in 2011, the report is now the basis for implementing new initiatives such as creation of a digital arts-specific sector.

Cartographies of Place in the 21st Century: Networked media, sustainable environments, and urban citizenship

A new generation of artists are using media technologies to explore the meanings of translocality, public spaces and mobile networks that are distinct configurations grounded in place—indeed, often several places and several times at once. How do such art practices function as new forms of public art and in site- specific settings while serving as a tool for enhancing communication and

renovating democratic citizenship?

The talk will focus around a landmark exhibition (which opens Sept 21, 2013) called Land/Slide: possible futures (www.landslide-possiblefutures.com) that has invited thirty artists working in a variety of media (from sculpture to data visualization) to transform and reimagine a Heritage village (1820-1930) at the Markham Museum in the Greater Toronto Area. Artists have been asked to reinterpret over thirty pioneer houses (1820-1930) and 8000 historical artifacts in the context of climate change and a planet in transition. Working with everything from digitized diaries, 3D projections and augmented reality, participants will propose new histories and new futures for the use of land on this planet. This is an example of a new form of public space that uses Museums and Archives, often seen as static and “dead” to create dynamic simultaneous temporalities. The installations invite the public to participate in reinterpreting the past by reimagining the future. The role of digital media is central as the entire site is augmented with projections, audio walks, and an AR app that animates the archive, including previous cartographies that have long since vanished in this new ‘leveled’ urban space. Markham City, one of the fastest growing regions in North America is a future city. But in this future city, the real and virtual are broken down as land itself, and new forms of urban framing and food production become an integral and organic aspect of the exhibition.

Cartographie des lieux au XXIe siècle : Médias en réseau, environnements durables et citoyenneté urbaineUne nouvelle génération d’artistes utilise les technologies médiatiques pour explorer la signification de la translocalité, de l’espace public et des réseaux mobiles, configurations enracinées, bien souvent dans de nombreux endroits et temps à la fois. De quelle façon ces pratiques artistiques fonctionnent-elles en tant que nouvelles formes d’art public et dans des milieux particuliers, tout en servant d’outil pour l’amélioration des communications et pour la restauration de la citoyenneté démocratique?

32


La conférence se fondera sur une exposition historique intitulée Land/Slide: Possible Futures (www.landslide-possiblefutures.com), qui sera ouverte au public dès le 21 septembre 2013. Cette exposition réunit trente artistes travaillant toute une gamme de médias, de la sculpture à la visualisation de données, et les invite à transformer et à réinventer un village patrimonial (de 1820 à 1930) au Musée de Markham, dans la région du Grand Toronto. Les artistes doivent donner leur interprétation de plus de 30 maisons de pionniers (de 1820 à 1930) et de 8 000 artefacts, dans le contexte des changements climatiques et d’une planète en transition. Par tous les moyens possibles, des journaux personnels numérisés aux projections en trois dimensions en passant par la réalité augmentée, les artistes participants proposeront de nouveaux passés et de nouveaux avenirs relatifs à l’utilisation des terres de notre planète. Il s’agit d’un exemple d’une nouvelle forme d’espace public qui a recours aux musées et aux archives, souvent considérés comme immuables et « morts », pour créer des temporalités simultanées et vibrantes. Les installations feront en sorte que le public sera invité à participer en réinterprétant le passé pour réimaginer l’avenir. Le rôle des médias numériques est central dans cette exposition : l’ensemble du site a été amélioré grâce à des projections, à des visites guidées audio et à une application de réalité augmentée permettant d’animer les archives, y compris l’ancienne organisation du territoire, qui a laissé place depuis longtemps à ce nouvel espace urbain « nivelé ». Markham, l’une des régions dont la croissance est la plus rapide en Amérique du Nord, deviendra une ville. Mais la réalité et le virtuel de cette future ville étant segmentés comme le territoire même, les nouvelles formes de cadrage urbain et de production alimentaire prennent une dimension essentielle et centrale de l’exposition.

Her latest project is Land/ Slide, possible futures, a multi-sectoral site-specific exhibition in that brings together over thirty artists to look at future land uses in one of Canada’s fastest growing regions. She recently received the prestigious Trudeau Award to support her research and curatorial practices in the area of public art and civic cultures.
