Signal+Noise Media Art Fesival

Joined / VIVO Media Arts Centre, Vancouve

VIVO Media Arts Centre presents the ninth annual Signal & Noise Festival; three days of innovative contemporary media art. Showcasing a spectrum of audio & video works, online games, live action performances and immersive installations, Signal & Noise is Vancouver’s premier alternative media event.

VIVO Media Arts Centre is Vancouver’s backbone for media art production and education, distribution and exhibition. Signal & Noise is the highlight in VIVO’s programming. The festival presents the work of local, national and international artists. Created nine years ago in response to Vancouver’s explosive contemporary arts underground, Signal and Noise has become an essential forum for creative exchange.

What began as Satellite Video Exchange Society in 1973 became Video In. Video In has just morphed into VIVO Media Arts Centre, this rebranding represents a dedication to the advancement of media arts, not just video but audio, gaming, electronics, cyberarts, and new genres. Located at 1965 Main Street, VIVO is a non-profit education, production, exhibition and distribution centre. A landmark in Vancouver’s media art community for over thirty-five years, Satellite Video Exchange Society/VIVO Media Arts remains an invaluable staple in Vancouver’s legacy within the Canadian contemporary arts community. Open and accessible to diverse communities, VIVO is a site that maintains an active commitment to an open and inclusive cultural and artistic community.
