Ready to Go!

MNML 4 Our bags are packed, Carolyn has selected appropriate snacks for the train, and the Kobo is fully charged.  The train leaves Toronto at 9:25 sharp and arrives in Ottawa at 2:30pm.  Then it’s getting everything set up and organized, maybe a quick shower and a change of clothes then it’s showtime!

We do hope that you’ll be joining us for the debut of MNML at the Ottawa School of Art (Room 306) as part of Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau, we promise that it’ll be worth the visit.  And if you can’t make it out by virtue of geographical misfortune, that’s totally okay, we’ll be sure to take lots of pictures for your later viewing!

See you tomorrow night!

 

Sooooooo Excited!

MNML 2As I type this, my apartment is awash with the glow of MNML.  It looks great, and we are sooooooo excited to be able to share it with you at Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau!

Be sure to come out to see us at the Ottawa School of Art on Saturday September 20th from 620pm to 421am, we’re really looking forward to seeing you!

Dreaming of Wires…

WiresIt’s exceedingly difficult to create art without wires, cables, extensions.  HDMI, USB, RCA, power, we are adrift in a sea of them…

Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau is less than a week away and we still have a ton of things to do, but we’re getting things done and we’re totally excited to be able to unveil MNML!  We’ve confirmed that we’re in Room 306 at the Ottawa School of Art, and we’re really looking forward to seeing you!

As always, we’ve been very grateful for all of your support and encouragement along the way, and we really appreciate your offers to help us make MNML the best installation it can be!  So for those of you that are interested, here are a couple of ways that you can help us out;

1) Spread the word!  Give us a signal boost!  Like us on Facebook!  Retweet some of our tweets!  Help us let everybody in Ottawa know that they should come see MNML!  Tell your friends about us, send them a link to our site, post a blog about us and let your readers know what we’re doing!  Tell people about us and let them know they should come out to support us!

2) Make a donation to SubZeroArts!  It costs a lot of money to do an installation like MNML and we’d be thrilled if you wanted to contribute to our costs!   We’ve set up a donations page on our website if you’d like to help us out that way.

Or maybe you have an idea about how you’d like to help?  Let us know what you think, we’d love to hear from you!

Cheers!

Moving along according to schedule…

MNML Screenshot We’ve been hard at work on MNML for a few weeks now, and with only nine days left to go before Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau,we’re happy to report that everything is coming together quite nicely, thank you for asking!  Programming is coming along smoothly as evidenced by the screenshot to your left, planning and logistics are falling into place, and we’re feeling pretty good about everything so far.  We still have a long way to go over the next few days but we’re moving along according to schedule and we’re feeling pretty good about that!

By the way, we wanted to let you know that we’re presenting in a different location this year!  We’re really excited to be showing MNML at the Ottawa School of Art (35 George Street) and while we’ll miss all of our friends who hosted us at Club SAW for the last two years, we’re really looking forward to making some new friends at a new venue!

Gotta run, we have about eight things left to do tonight if we want to stay on schedule, but we’ll be in touch with you all again very soon. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, why not like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter so you can keep up to date with everything that’s going on with MNML?

Cheers!
