HEXA_OUT is one of Hexagram | CIAM's public events which aims to  
stimulate the transfer of knowledge and methodologies through  
discussion and exchange between media arts researchers. This event is  
an opportunity for the public to witness the vibrant research- 
creation being produced at Hexagram | CIAM.


This first edition of HEXA_OUT will attempt to shed light on the  
concepts of efficiency and acceleration when researchers from the  
arts, humanities and engineering work collaboratively. The discussion  
will be moderated by astronomer Roger Malina, Distinguished Professor  
of Arts and Technology and Professor of Physics at the University of  
Texas, Dallas. Since 1982 he has been the Executive Editor of  
Leonardo (MIT Press) whose mission is to promote and make visible  
work that explores the interaction between the arts, sciences and new  
technologies.


This event is the first of Hexagram | CIAM’s 2012-13 public  
programming with a new partnership with PHI Center, which focuses on  
their complementary mandates, bringing academic research-creation and  
quality dissemination to the Montreal community.

Hexagram l CIAM

For over a decade, Hexagram | Centre interuniversitaire des arts  
médiatiques is internationally recognized as a Canadian pole of  
excellence for interdisciplinary research in media arts. More than 80  
researchers are members of its two main centers located at Université  
du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and Concordia University, extending out  
to Université de Montréal and École de technologie supérieure  
(ÉTS). Many fruitful collaborations have emerged between individuals  
and institutions in the cultural sector and also with private  
companies, in Québec, Canada and around the world.


PHI Centre – For art in all its forms


The PHI Centre is a smart building with a host of production studios  
and creative spaces – the most sophisticated technical resources  
available in the hands of artists and innovators. It is a place for  
producing work that is inspiring and thought-provoking; work that is  
responsive and edgy, that wakes you up and is a motor for change. It  
is also a place for the presentation of art and the exchange of  
exciting creative ideas of all manners, for all manner of people,  
coming from all manner of context possible - from the neighbourhood  
to the other side of the planet.
