The Ontario College of Art & Design is Canada’s largest independent
university of art, media and design. Located in the Discovery
District of downtown Toronto and at the centre of the city’s dynamic
cultural activities, OCAD has 3500 students and over three hundred
faculty members. Committed to excellence and contemporary approaches
to education. OCAD currently offers 12 programs leading to the BFA
and BDes, and three programs leading to Master’s degrees. It is
building new interdisciplinary programs. The university has
experienced remarkable growth over the past five years and requires
outstanding creative researchers/practitioners and gifted teachers
to join OCAD in an exciting period of institutional development and
opportunity.

Drawing on faculty from across the university and working in
collaboration with a broad range of Canadian and international
private sector and public sector partners, the Digital Futures
Initiative (DFI) is a set of new cross-disciplinary programs,
research, and innovation activities currently being developed at
OCAD. Minors, a major and a suite of graduate programs will provide
learning opportunities in digital art, media and design, linking
this knowledge to emerging technologies with applications in fields
such as art/design and science, sustainability, health and wellness,
accessibility, diversity, and global innovation and business
development. OCAD has launched a research program in many fields of
digital endeavour and related disciplines, and has recently secured
significant funding to begin the construction of a series of
dedicated research laboratories. Faculty cross-appointed in the DFI
will be engaged in all facets of planning and utilization of these
laboratories.

The DFI Program Development and Selection Committee, comprising
representatives from the Faculties of Art, Design, and Liberal

Audible Auras

This presentation considers the artistic practice of using resonance to generate emanations and vibrations from structures, creating ‘audible auras’ around them. It is an attempt to contextualise Dawn’s own practice, which deals with the natural resonances of objects and environments. Dawn will discuss her recent installation ‘Lenses’ (2008), a multi speaker work which uses wine glasses as lenses to focus and propagate sound, and David Tudor’s sonic environment ‘Rainforest Version IV’ (1973). She will consider how these works produce a sense of ‘aura’, how they engage their audience, and what they might be communicating.

Dawn’s research investigates the phenomenal experience of sound from musical and artistic perspectives. She is interested in how we experience our surroundings and creates installations, compositions and performances which encourage audiences to consider details in the process of listening. Her practice is situated between the fields of lo-fi electronic music, installation art and performance. Her main concerns are with the physical effects of sound (vibration, spatiality, relational dialogue with its surroundings), the creation of ‘walk in sound’ (Robin Minard) – immersive environments. Dawn will present Lenses, a multi-speaker installation which explores pitch and resonance.

DAWN SCARFE is a PhD Candidate in Music at Goldsmiths. She has exhibited in a diverse range of places, including the Whitechapel Gallery and Tate Britain (London), Modern Art Oxford, Smeaton’s Lighthouse (Plymouth) and Videotage (Hong Kong).

Following the numerous concerns voiced from interested delegates regarding the current financial climate, the Institute of Creative Technologies has decided to host the upcoming Future of Creative Technologies Conference at the IOCT itself so that places for delegates are now subsidised. We hope this alleviates some burden from delegates.

Additionally, by offering free places we aim to participate in a broader web 2.0 ethics of inclusion and facilitation of conversation.
