SUMMARY:Aleph Null\, Graphic Synthesizer - Jim Andrews in the Massy Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of Jim Andrew’s Aleph Null\, Graphic Synthesizer at the Massy Gallery\, featuring works signed by and created in collaboration with Bill Bisset. \nOpening Reception\, Friday October 25th at 6pm\nExhibiting through till November 20. \n“I created the prints in my Oct 25 – Nov 20\, 2019 show at Massy Books in Vancouver with interactive\, generative software I wrote called Aleph Null. I’ve been writing it since 2011. It’s up to version 3.1 as of this writing; I have plans for version 4.0. I haven’t written myself into a corner yet\, and I can see many exciting possibs. It’s not an AI—if a requirement of AI is that it learns; some say it is; others say it’s sufficient that the program seems intelligent. The person using Aleph Null is required to do the learning—like you learn how to play an instrument or use a tool—and Aleph Null is\, well\, more about being beautiful than intelligent. It’s an online program to explore some of the possibilities of interactive\, generative art. I think of it as part instrument\, part tool\, and part work of art itself.”\nvispo.com/massy

SUMMARY:Book Launch: L.X. Beckett - Gamechanger
DESCRIPTION:Join Canadian author L.X. Beckett on Tuesday\, November 5 at 6 PM for the launch of Gamechanger! \nNeuromancer meets Star Trek in Gamechanger\, a fantastic new book from award-winning author L. X. Beckett. \nFirst there was the Setback.\nThen came the Clawback.\nNow we thrive. \nRubi Whiting is a member of the Bounceback Generation. The first to be raised free of the troubles of the late twenty-first century. Now she works as a public defender to help troubled individuals with anti-social behavior. That’s how she met Luciano Pox. \nLuce is a firebrand and has made a name for himself as a naysayer. But there’s more to him than being a lightning rod for controversy. Rubi has to find out why the governments of the world want to bring Luce into custody\, and why Luce is hell bent on stopping the recovery of the planet.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Ana Vojnovic - Walls Are Not Walls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the Massy Gallery’s newest exhibition\, Ana Vojnovic’s “Walls Are Not Walls”! \nThe opening reception will begin at 7 pm on November 28 in the Massy Gallery (upstairs at 229 E Georgia St). The show will be exhibiting through the end of the year. \n— \nComposed of radically altered digital photography\, the exhibition “responds to the overwhelming recurrence of urban rebuilding in our era by posing a philosophical-political question: how is our sensibility affected when the energy\, intensity and the mutability of ‘outside’ slips inevitably through our senses to ‘inside’ our self-awareness?” \nAna Vojnovic (Vancouver\, Canada) works as an educator\, artist and a lecturer. Her work is an interdisciplinary response to urban conditions\, and questions of how built/designed environments affect and condition human perception\, our responses to designed circumstances and the ways in which we engage with each other. \n— \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations. \nAccessibility information: the gallery is currently only accessible by a flight of stairs. \nMassy Books is easy to reach by transit! Close to the 22\, 3\, 8 and 19 bus lines at Main and Georgia/Gore and Georgia. There is metered street parking along Georgia\, or lot parking at the Sun Wah Centre around the corner (268 Keefer).
