#vector 2013

Last night we had a great turnout for our opening reception and Queen West game art crawl here in Toronto last night.  Visitors followed Team Vector curators from Interaccess (Other Worlds Exhibition) to Propeller (net.works Exhibition), and finally onto Bento Miso for the Ludacy Exhibition.  Special suprise guests from NYC Corset Lore and glomag provided some live chipmusic at the event at Bento Miso.

Team Vector is thankful to all of you who came out and showed your interest and support in the festival.  And guess what? There's still two and a half days of programming left to go!!

For more info on what's happening, you can download a PDF of our schedule, or pick up an Vector Festival Event Guide at Interaccess, Bento Miso or Propeller.

Also, please note that if you're planning on coming to any of our screenings or performances (these events are ticketed) that our online advance sales are now closed.  HOwever, tickets for all of these events will be available at the door, with screenings costing $5 and performances $10.

Join us tonight at 5pm at Bento Miso for our first panel discussion.  Games +Art: Play +Practices, an examination of the relationships between game players, game designers and game art makers. After the panel, come over to Propeller for our machinima screening Meditations on the Medium, exploring the relationships between games, art, and machinima.

Finally after the screening, join us at Interaccess for Playing Personae, and evening of performance centered around gender issues in gaming culture.

Join Us for another day of excellent art works!

We've created this handy one page PDF of the entire schedule of events for Vector 2013 for easy reference. Please note that our initial schedule we posted yesterday had an error in it.  The Feminism in Games and Games Art Panel is from 3-5 on Saturday, Feb 23rd, not from 2-4. 

Team Vector wants to thank the Liaison of Independent FilmMakers of Toronto for allowing us to rent equipment for Vector 2013 at a discounted rate.  We very much appreciate the support we've received from community organizations in Toronto, including LIFT.  Without the support from these groups, we would not have the resources necessary to run this festival.

Thank You LIFT! and Thank you everyone!  Vector is now only 7 days away, while we have a long way to go to be ready for the fest, rest assured we are getting there. It's going to be a great 5 days!

We have a very special announcement to make to all OCADU students who wish to attend Vector 2013. Last Night, OCADU's Digital Futures Initiative signed on to be our latest sponsor!
