"Toronto sits on a shore of lake Ontario, has two rivers running through the city, and carries a number of fountains and ponds. Water is a representation of nature in the city's concrete environment. However, people might not appreciate it. The series attempts to represent water in the city. More specifically, the photographs examine what water sees and reflects in urban surroundings. Plato believed that the classical elements (water, air, earth, and fire) were constructed from the regular solids. Water is associated with icosahedron in Plato's writings. Therefore, a form of icosahedron was created to conceptually represent water. It was put close to water sites in Toronto: the lake, rivers, ponds, and fountains. The structure is made out of mirrors, so it reflects the surroundings which water sees: the sky, buildings, trees, people, etc. The series points out the significance of water in the city life. The photographs show the perspective of water actively observing the surroundings, not people looking at water."

Time Machine pt. 1 & 2

"These photos are the result of a series of experiments and tests with manmade time machines, code named GOOSE & The Big Swinger 3000. The Mission 0bjective is to use the present to preserve the past by capturing surviving feelings and memories of the past. The Theater of Operation was chosen due to the large concentration of remnants of past and is located between: 44° 33' 24" N 78° 12' 16" W, 44° 29' 15" N 78° 14' 0" W, 44° 33' 44" N 78° 3' 59" W, 44° 32' 53" N 78° 9' 1" W. The purpose of the experiments are not just to preserve those memories and feelings in an accustomed form and vernacular for those who are familiar with them, but to display them to people who may be unfamiliar with the particular area, but familiar with the particular feeling. The images on display were selected from experiments conducted in the spring and summer of 2009 and 2010. Work on the project is ongoing."

Welcome to Maximum Exposure 2011

Beginning in late April of 2011, Ryerson's School of Image Arts will host its 16th annual graduate and end of year show: Maximum Exposure. The exhibition showcases the works of 150- 200 emerging photography, new media and film based artists within Ryerson University.

Maximum Exposure provides the students of Ryerson's Image Arts program with a platform to launch emerging student artists into the arts and visual communications industry, while providing the public with insight into the talent operating within the university.

This year, Maximum Exposure will continue the tradition in bringing public awareness towards our Image Arts student body, Ryerson University and our generous sponsors. Maximum Exposure 2011 will be taking place at The Gladstone Hotel, which will be exhibiting fourth year thesis projects in the 2nd floor Gladstone Gallery and first & second year work in the Art Bar. Third year work will be exhibited at Meta Gallery, and we will be holding screenings of video work from all Image Arts programs and years at the Camera Bar. The events will kick off on Thursday April 28th and continue through May 1st 2011.

We look forward to the exhibition in April!

Maximum Exposure 2011 Coordinators

The Film aspect of Maximum Exposure is to showcase first, second and third year Film students. It is an opportunity for friends and family to see the students films and celebrate their hard work.

The venue is being chosen as we speak and will be announced ASAP. It is important that we have an awesome venue to screen our films so we can experience them as they should be seen and potentially attract outside attention. 2011 Programmed screenings will be: first year films, second year documentary, second year narrative, third year documentary, third year narrative, and festival highlights. There will be prizes and awards for the outstanding films given out at the end of the festival. Fundraisers will be happening throughout the next few months, please show your support and attend, as these events are to raise funds to make the festival happen! Deadline for submissions to the festival is April 15th. The festival will be the last weekend in April. Specific dates and times will be posted closer to the festival date. Admission to the films is free and volunteers are welcome! Look forward to seeing your films at the festival!
