Plot Against Time
If you want to see one of the last fleeting TIFF screenings before festival’s end tomorrow, you’ll probably need to stand in a rush line somewhere (and forget about gawking at any celebrities while doing so). But there’s an alternative option in TIFF’s Future Projections program, which places installations of video art at a slew of venues around Toronto. The Drake, for example, is showing David Rokeby’s Plot Against Time, a series of works that tracks flitting insects, diving gannets and wandering Venetian tourists. Festival programmer Noah Cowan says: “Brilliantly suggesting abstract-expressionist precedents from Whistler to Pollock, Plot Against Time’s interest in kinesis is as sociological and technological as it is philosophical and painterly.” And the tickets cost zero dollars.
