FRANÇAIS app de traduction à gauche

I received information about this activity from Raison D'Être Média and I thought you might enjoy participating:

" As part of MTL connect (i.e. Montreal's Digital Week) from October 13 to 18! This (semi)secret mobile art program, displayed via 2 large LED screen-equipped trucks in transit around the city, will showcase cutting-edge digital works by 13 Canadian and international artists—stopping us in our tracks! It's on a catch-it-if-you-can basis, as only hints of locations will be disclosed about this stealthy project! Here's a little cheat-sheet:


10/13, 16:00 – 20:00 → Hochelaga / Centre-Sud
10/14, 14:00 – 21:00 → Montreal at large
10/15, 15:00 – 21:00 → Downtown / Village / Plateau / Griffintown
10/16, 16:00 – 22:00 → Côte-des-Neiges / NDG
10/17, 16:00 – 22:00 → Villeray / Mile End / Saint-Michel
10/18: 14:00 – 21:00 → Montreal at large
 
In addition, MTL connect's 'creativity' pavilion, the globally-renowned International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), returns to Montreal after 25 years! In 1995 ISEA introduced Montreal as a digital arts centre and gave a spotlight to emerging local talent. Now, as one of the world's foremost digital hubs, Montreal welcomes it back for its 26th edition: ISEA2020!

ISEA2020's artistic program explores the theme of Sentience – feeling-sensing-making sense – through 80 works by 105 local & international artists that include installations, videos, virtual reality works, online pieces/performances and interventions in public spaces: https://youtu.be/CjTMlCLHeuo. ISEA2020 will also feature keynote speeches, artist talks, workshops, special events and so much more—presented entirely via an online platform. Some events are offered for free, otherwise special packages and student rates are available throughout! "
