Throughout the ages music has connected humanity. From the campfire to the dance floor, rhythm and sound has brought us together and allowed us to open our minds and hearts to look at the world in different ways. CONNECT will invite people to take a look into some of the worlds newest networks, including the internet, electronic music, digital compositions of light and sound and, of course, one of the most ancient networks of all, people gathering together in celebration. CONNECT seeks to unite people for an evening to celebrate and pay homage to the wonders of art and science in our highly networked world.

Tenori-On Network

A premier performance of ten networked Tenori-On's. The Tenori-On has been dubbed the "new digital musical instrument of the 21st Century". The Tenori-On brings music into a whole different light with a complex and visually stunning harmony of math and sound. The Tenori-On 'network' will be an experiment in communication and artistry as ten separate players will attempt to build a unified and cohesive electronic composition.

Tenori-On Players:
Joel Silver, Isabelle Noel, Evan Ritchie, Moto Shimizu, Shaw-Han Liem, Jason Chatzillas, Mathieu Alepin, Eric Shinn, Bronwyn Miller & Sean Evans

'Private-Public', 2009

A meditation on the darker undertones of the Internet, this installation invites users to enter their name into a console where they are shown with a projected stream of publicly accessible snippets of their online activities and identities, beginning with a slow trickle and then gradually crescendoing into an overwhelming flood.

DJ Vaneska

Vaneska is your new favorite DJ. Her reputation as a tastemaker on new and fashionable music has made her an earmark in the City's party scene and at Toronto's high profile venues such as The Drake Hotel, The State Theatre, Wrongbar, and The Social. You can catch her every Friday at Circa spinning guilty pleasures in the Bathroom Bar or electro club anthems on the main stage.

Vaneska has DJed numerous come-to-be-seen art and fashion events for the likes of Calvin Klein, The Art Gallery of Ontario, Virgin Mobile, M.A.C., Puma, Aritzia, Triple Five Soul, Boxfresh, Cobrasnake, and
Myspace to name a few. And when world renowned DJs and producers such as Daft Punk, Justice, MSTRKRFT, Steve Aoki, and Diplo want to party in Toronto, it's at one of Vaneska's exclusive parties that you'll find them.

"Music preferences have always been used to categorize individuals and communities. The advent of global networks however, has diversified and globalized our music tastes. Now we can identify with various music genres and styles at the same time. The new sound is not one, but many."

DJ MFFN

MFFN is a Toronto alt-dance DJ who brings a musicians energy to his layered live sets.

Electronic music is as DIY as anything else. It evolves and mutates constantly. At times it has evoked the future, yet now has an ample history that provokes nostalgia. But a new sound or scene is no longer bound by geography; by virtue of networked lives, new things can unfold everywhere at once.
