Montreal – Toronto 04.15.2004 – Pause



Gate, is a Web art project being created for the exhibit <PAUSE> curated by MobileGaze.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25

<PAUSE>addresses the notion of time as experienced in art and through technology. The exhibition aims at intercepting this stream of information in order to provide a disruption within this endless expanse of data—by providing the viewer with a vantage point, a moment of reflection and a slowing down in his/her interactive viewing habits. <PAUSE> will feature commissioned Web art projects by Canadian and international artists accompanied by descriptive essays to be presented via MobileGaze’s website.
