The HTMlles 11 is approaching!
Catch a first glimpse into ZER0 FUTUR{E} with pre-festival events
|
Taking place in Montreal, The HTMlles is an international biennial festival that brings together artists, scholars and activists who are passionate about critical engagement with new technologies from a feminist perspective. Initiated in 1997, by the feminist artist-run centre Studio XX, the 11th edition of the festival will take place between November 7 and 15, 2014.
The theme for this year’s edition is “ZER0 FUTUR{E}. The future is obsolete.” and features projects that shed light on the perception of “today’s futures” by different generations, including critical and creative propositions inspired by (but not limited to) afrofuturism, cyberfeminism, feminist science-fiction and queer futurities.

Screening of SYNTHETIC PLEASURES
by Iara Lee (1995, U.S.A.) 83 min.
September 25, 7pm
Studio XX
FREE ENTRANCE
Synthetic Pleasures is a time capsule of cyberculture as it it existed in 1995, chock-full of early 90's 3-D animation and virtual simulation. Director Iara Lee embarks on a vast array of cultural, philosophical, and engineering questions brought about by what was then the fledgling infant cyberworld known popularly as "The Net". The film canvasses a wide scope of techno terrain, from hyperreal environments, to mind and body modifications, high-tech nomadism, and cultural exchange on the information superhighway. Innovative and enigmatic figures such as Orlan, Jaron Lanier, Timothy Leary, and many many more appear in this film at the height of popular optimism for Virtual Reality and Cybernetic Futures.

PROOF is a dynamic multimedia exhibition by Studio Enertia, a collaborative project by Houston-based performer and composer Lisa E. Harris and Pittsburgh-based artist Alisha B. Wormsley.
