A not-for-profit initiative dedicated to showcasing contemporary game based artworks, Vector: Game + Art Convergence will be running at four venues over five days from Feb 20th-24th, in Queen West and Kensington in Toronto. Over these five days, Vector will feature exhibitions, screenings, workshops, performances and round table discussions, all with the intent of creating a critical dialogue about the medium of games and its expressive potential as a contemporary art practice.

With an influence that is spreading across various cultures and sub-cultures through out the world, video games are a pervasive media that are influencing a wide range of social and cultural practices.

Programmed by Team Vector, the festival will address contemporary creative practices that peel back to curtain of gaming and its cultures, positing games as tools and inspiration for contemporary art making. It will feature works by international, national and regional, emerging and established artists.

Works in sculpture, film and video, new media, installation, print, fine craft and performance will all be part of the spectrum exhibited at Vector. These works will incorporate, criticize and address the culture, politics, technology and aesthetics of games, through exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and performances. 

Team Vector is committed to paying all artists participating in the festival artist fees.
