Artists Statement

iPads (2015)

MIMMiC (Mobile Interactive Modular Multi-screen iPad Canvas) allows artists to create and exhibit work interactively on a matrix of iPads. The touchscreens can be displayed dynamically in 2D and 3D spaces, responding in unison activated by the viewer. Paul Wong and Patrick Daggitt are collaborating with Vancouver-based artists Sammy Chien, Evann Siebens, Adam Myhill, and Christine Wallace to redefine the canvas for the digital age. Each of these artists will present individual works using the MIMMIC system.

• Paul Wong is an award-winning artist and curator, who has organized events and public interventions since the mid-1970s. Wong received the 2005 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts.
• Patrick Daggitt creates interactive works implicating his audience through collaboration. His works have been exhibited at festivals and galleries in New York, London, Miami, and across Canada.
