February 24th – 26th, 2016

This bilingual conference was the 6th edition of the Toronto/Montreal/Lille biennial of artistic exchange. Titled The Inventions of Light / Les Inventions de la Lumière, the conference focused on what light makes possible in the parallel realms of perception and creative imagination. The overall goal of the three-day conference was to explore the “inventions of light” collectively and to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the many inventions that light has generated in painting, photography, cinema, animation, and digital arts.
