We’re excited that 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐇𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 and 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌 (@formvancouver) are partnering to feature two films each month from each of our collections. From Regard Hybrides, they will feature a film from their online collection, and from FORM, they will feature a film from their collection of commissioned films from the past 9 years. This collaboration is an effort to uplift and celebrate screendance/dance film works throughout the year from artists across Canada.

This month, watch 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘢 (2018) by Marlene Millar (@millarmarlene) and Philip Szporer (@philipszporer), which evokes facets of Shiva, the Lord of Dance, as both the destroyer of evil and the guardian of time; and 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘢 (2021) by Siam Obrègon (@sea.am.siam) and Kyana Lynne (@kyanalyne), a solo in which dance, water, sand, and wind come together at dusk, as the moon slowly appears.

Ce mois-ci, visionner l’œuvre 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘢 (2018) de Marlene Millar et Philip Szporer, qui évoque les facettes de Shiva, le Seigneur de la danse, à la fois comme destructeur du mal et gardien du temps; et 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘢 (2021) de Siam Obrègon and Kyana Lynne, dans ce solo où la danse, l’eau, le sable et le vent se rencontrent à la tombée du jour, lorsque la lune apparaît doucement.

🌟𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 has been re-launched @surreyartgal #UrbanScreen

👀On view until April 7th
🤝Commissioned by FORM in partnership with Surrey Art Gallery as part of their Kinesthesia fall exhibition series
🫂Created by longtime artistic collaborators of FORM, new media artist @whichnancy and choreographer, dancer, and actor @simziez 💙

📑In 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠, “there is an intentionally gendered element to Sachar and Lee’s piece that emphasizes the erasure of women’s contributions in the workplace; [characters in the project] Lauren and Nova hold what are often thought to be female-oriented roles. Just as society has minimized the unseen labour that women have been expected to do as caretakers and housekeepers, it is as if Lauren and Nova are implying that women’s contributions in the workplace can just as easily be ignored.”

📑Words by @chiluchetta in her essay, A Call to Remember the Hands of Labourers in the Age of AI

These hands are still at work has been re-launched on the Surrey City Centre Library. Running now until April 7th ‼️
—
These hands are still at work is a collaborative, large-scale video work by media artist Nancy Lee and choreographer, dancer, and actor Simran Sachar. Nancy’s current research interests include surveillance, tech ethics, and platformization of society. Simran’s current research interests include distortion, disappearance, return, and reintegration into community. In their project, migration manifests as an ancient, genetic, rhythmic response for survival. For the artists, migration is movement, movement is change, and change is the only constant. In These hands are still at work, the rhythm of movement becomes the rhythm of labour. The mundane labour of someone else’s life forms the foundation of our leisure. Nancy and Simran introduce to you Lauren and Nova, two AI assistants who are changing the patterns of migration. This project is an original commission by FORM (Festival of Recorded Movement) in partnership with Surrey Art Gallery, as part of the Kinesthesia fall exhibition series.
