Summary:
Pour souligner les dix ans d'Elektra, événement international d'arts numériques, Angles arts numériques propose trois textes, trois auteurs qui ont chacun développé une réflexion à partir d'aspects et de concepts qui sont liés, différemment mais étroitement, aux enjeux d'Elektra. En ce sens, il paraissait stimulant de provoquer cette rencontre entre un point de vue théorique portant sur le concept de tra(ns)-duction, lequel au surplus, est «informé» par la pratique (Chatonsky), une perspective historique qui aborde différents événements d'arts médiatiques (Bonin) et l'essai littéraire, où le principe métaphorique de la machine est l'élément moteur de la réflexion (Canty).

Summary:
How to rationalize the complexity of university life at McGill is seemingly overwhelming with up to 40,000 people invading the downtown Campus’s 141 buildings on any given weekday. Walking the McGill Precinct, trying to commit to some style of methodology for a book took time, until the concept of the chronological acquisition by McGill gave the book its definitive shape. The buildings are the main thrust of the book that interlaces the personalities and the history of the University.

Summary:
Canada is a country whose national narrative is difficult to define, even for Canadians. This question is further complicated when looking at emerging artists who have grown up under intense globalization. In Canada, specific identities are difficult to pinpoint and, when they are, they are often portrayed as problematic stereotypes bound up in a colonialist history. “Alternorthern” was conceived in the tension that exists between nationalism, globalization, and individualism: the exhibition is a product of both cultural values and cultural hybridism. The nine artists in this exhibition function similarly in that they use their own identities to make gestures that transgress time and space. Each artist in the exhibition is Canadian, yet each creates work that speaks to issues pertinent to both Canadian and global geographic and political landscapes. The exhibition will open during the 2010 Olympics, when many of the stereotypes, symbols, themes, and political workings of Canada will be disseminated into the U.S. media. As Canada is in the throes of presenting its tourist identity on the international stage, this exhibition can function as a way of transgressing this identity. Thus, the curators see this exhibition not as a response to the event of the Olympics but as an opportunity to subvert and play with cultural dialogue that will exist during this time.

Summary:
This publication is an initial attempt to examine the trajectory of the X symbol in underground music culture. While the X is broadly associated with the punk scene—in particular, straight edge hardcore—the symbol contains a wide range of often-contradictory meanings. This document presents our ongoing research; we welcome comments, corrections, and criticism.
