Expanded Practice | Lee Jones: Public Studio Visit

June 4, 2021

7 PM EDT

Knot Project Space and Digital Arts Resource Centre are very excited to announce our first artist of this summer’s Expanded Practice Residency Program!

Lee Jones is a PhD student at the Creative Interactions Lab at Carleton University. She has a participatory art practice where she creates easy-to-use toolkits so that individuals can have a say in the direction of their own technologies. In her current research, she is developing toolkits for crafting e-textiles that are informed through interviews with craft practitioners. She’s currently teaching Prototyping Soft Interfaces at Carleton University, and loves running e-textile workshops in makerspaces, art galleries and community organizations under the name Electro-Stitches. To find out more about her research visit LeeJones.ca.

Join us on Friday June 4th at 7pm EDT for a public Studio Visit with Lee!

Expanded Practice is Knot Project Space’s three-week intensive artist residency offered to local artists who are producing members of the Digital Arts Resource Centre. Make sure to visit our site (digitalartsresourcecentre.ca) for more information about the artists, their practices, and our residency program.

Digital Arts Resource Centre (formerly SAW Video) is a not-for-profit, artist-run media art centre that fosters the growth and development of artists through access to equipment, training, mentorship, and programming. Our mission is to support a diverse community of media artists empowered by technology, programming and the exchange of ideas.

Our core principles are independence of expression, affordable access to all, and paying artists for their work. Digital Arts Resource Centre values diversity and actively promotes equity for all artists regardless of race, age, class, gender, sexual orientation, language, or ability.

We acknowledge that Digital Arts Resource Centre is located on land that is part of the unceded and unsurrendered Traditional Territory of the Algonquin people.
