I'm pleased to announce that Upgrade! Vancouver is graduating to a new format. We will continue to facilitate discourse and exchange at the intersection of art, technology and culture, while taking the activities of Upgrade! Vancouver into exotic new terrain. The goal is to create a stream of events including conversations, screenings, interventions, field trips, and panels, and to embrace an ever-changing experimental model of engagement. Details soon! Thanks to Peter Courtemanche and the Western Front who so generously hosted our gatherings (2003-2007) and to Eyebeam Atelier in New York City, which continues to support us in many ways, including the hosting of the audio recordings of Upgrade! Vancouver events. -Kate Armstrong, 2007 About Upgrade! Vancouver Upgrade!
