A presentation by Andrew McAllister and Christopher Bennell, Faculty IT Support Technician
As Canada’s oldest art and design University, the Ontario College of Art & Design requires IT systems appropriate for
visual teachers and learners. Since 2004, OCAD developed and maintained its own learning management system instead
of looking elsewhere.Why not use the plethora of other tools? With open-source tools like the Zend framework, and
user-centered design methodology our LMS has been a string of successes. In this presentation, we will show you how to
excite your faculty and IT team alike by focusing on innovation from within.
FIN DE SIÈCLE presented as dual-screen video installation with audio soundtrack as a part of the VEHICLE project at University of Toronto Art Centre for Nuit Blanche 2008.
For suburban teens, cars enable vices and passions: they facilitate making out, meeting up with friends, and getting to the crucial rock & roll gig in the city. The car creates a private space for sharing secrets, taboo acts and dangerous music. Cars allow freedom, the promise of ‘getting there’, often in spite of the end result. “FIN DE SIÈCLE” is a document of youth, rock & roll, angst, poorly articulated dreams, missed opportunities, let downs, fleeting revelatory moments, expressed in the format of a dual-screen video loop and a limited edition soundtrack by rock band Soft Copy.

Presented by the Scarborough Arts Council, CONTACT Scarborough is a multi-faceted project that explores issues of public and private space, representation, and notions of identity associated with Scarborough. The project includes photography, video and a podcast developed by Scarborough youth. CONTACT Scarborough considers how photographic practice is expanding and presented in time-based media while dealing with the experiences of those living in an area under-represented in the social and cultural life of Toronto.
