UofT Hyperloop x OCAD Design: Student Participation Opportunity

Monday, November 25, 2019 - 9:00am to Friday, November 29, 2019 - 6:00pm

The University of Toronto Hyperloop Team is looking to pair top Engineering talent with exceptional OCAD design and marketing. UTHT brings a new energy to Canadian teams competing in Elon Musk’s hyperloop competition hosted by SpaceX in California. With potential speeds of up to 1000km/h, hyperloop transportation could make travel between Toronto and Montreal less than 40 minutes and zero-emission. Our 80+ competition members are spread across 4 teams with 200+ additional members attending UTHT events and workshops. As members of our competition team, OCAD students would be immersed in a totally multi-disciplinary, startup-like environment, with the opportunity to craft a personalized story and image. OCAD students will also have the opportunity to design concepts for the future of transportation infrastructures, such as pod interiors or Hyperloop stations.

Come work with us! Please contact us at hyperloop@utoronto.ca, and stay tuned for our information session at OCAD this fall.

What we’re looking for:
Photographers
Videographers
Video editors
Graphics designers
Website developers
Content creators
Industrial designers
Architects

Thursday, June 9, 2016 - 4:00am

A Talk by Selmin Kara, Assistant Professor, OCAD University

This talk provides an overview of Professor Kara’s recent research on the emerging aesthetic and thematic threads related to the “Anthropocene imaginary” in contemporary cinema, including: the post-cinematic return to the tropes of primordiality and extinction in recent films depicting human loss (in Tree of Life and Beasts of the Southern Wild), fantasies of grand-scale waste and its impacts (in films like Gravity and Snowpiercer), projections of ecological exploitation / anxiety onto human bodies (in Safe, Night Moves, and Upstream Colour), and evocations of insular and hyperstitional climates.

An exhibition of reflections on the art of teaching by OCAD U students and alumni

In speaking to art and design education, one tends to reference curriculum, the students taught, the educational contexts, and teachers’ pedagogy; but what about our own unique experiences of, and affective, experiential and aesthetic responses to teaching and learning? Our process as artists inextricably intertwines art making and multileveled learning. We are responsive to and responsible for our own personal and project development and their realization. As art and design educators we reflect on our teaching moments and in doing so inform our art practice; this is a reciprocal and complex relationship.

Two concurrent exhibitions at OCAD University and at OISE, University of Toronto strategically and evocatively map artist-teachers learning as process, as evocation and as provocation.

Runs Oct 28-Nov 29.

OCADU faculty and visual artists JJ Lee, Mei Lee Ogden, Amy Swartz and Natalie Waldburger present work in paint and scripto-visual drawing that addresses both the playfulness and complex nature of the art and learning relationship. Lee’s life-sized works on paper, painted collaboratively with her young daughter Mei, speak to the nature of risk, trust, care, creativity and mutuality found in this unique art making and learning relationship. Swartz’s and Waldburger’s intertwined texts draw and map a process of joint discussion, negotiation and mutual reflection.

Curatorial Collective: Pam Patterson, Peter Rahul, Leena Raudvee, Jay Smith.
