Start your art adventure here at the Zone A Scotiabank Information Hub

You can find everything you need to start your exploration in each zone at a Scotiabank Information Hub. These three unique Zones will provide information to launch your experience, rest your feet, enjoy a film or vote for your favourite installation.

Hub A � The Palais

Come back to the 1920s with us and experience the stylish elegance inspired by the jazz era. The ideal atmosphere to enjoy black and white films in a dizzying array of black and white, juxtaposed with unusual elements.

Get pampered at the Panda spa. This interactive performance project by Ulysses Castellanos features a team of panda estheticians who give makeovers and manicures throughout the night.

Audio intervention

The medium is belief, the disseminator is broadcast: an Airborne Toxic Event. This experiment is white noise and the confusion that is raised when telepresence is substituted for presence. The inherently flawed nature of truth is that it's determined not by individual observation but by contagious public opinion - belief generating reality instead of reality generating belief. Before facebook, before myspace, before flash mobs, the wind was shifting. Tune in to CIUT 89.5FM radio for all broadcasts.

HT
Barbara Lindenberg - Toronto, Ontario
Dance Open Call Project

Heads pressed together, the performers of HT will roam the streets in a particular kind of dance. With the absurd challenge of maintaining contact with each others heads, the group will engage with passersby as a unique creature, as individuals, as human landscape, as dancers.
