Vector Festival 2026: Who Cares For the Cyborg?

The 14th edition of Vector Festival will search for parallels between computer and human bodies, looking at how we overheat and sweat, bleed coolant, and are circuited through our veins. In an era of thinner phones and hidden wires, the physical footprint of our technology is obscured, erasing the reminder for maintenance and care. How does this impact those with insulin pumps at their hips or prosthetic arms that require batteries? Can we push back against the techno-optomist desire to create posthuman bodies by seeking to understand the machines already in our homes?

Vector Festival is a participatory and community-oriented initiative dedicated to showcasing digital games and creative media practices. Presenting works across a dynamic range of exhibitions, screenings, performances, lectures, and workshops, Vector acts as a critical bridge between emergent digital platforms and new media art practice.

The festival was founded in 2013 as the “Vector Game Art & New Media Festival” by an independent group of artists and curators: Skot Deeming, Clint Enns, kris kim, and Katie Micak, who were later joined by Diana Poulsen and Martin Zeilinger.

Who Cares For the Cyborg? Flagship Exhibition
July 9 – August 8

The festival’s flagship exhibition, curated by Ciar O’Mahony, looks at the shift from “computer” as a human, often female, mathematician, to an electronic technology with seemingly unlimited applications. Artists Ailin Dong, Angelina Almanza, Daniel Miller, Pranya Gulati, and Lee Henderson investigate the history of the computational body: machinic, biological, or in-between.

When Does the Wired Body Come Home? | AR Multi-Site Exhibition | July 9 – August 8

Opening Party: July 11, 7 – 10PM at InterAccess 

The AR Multi-Site exhibition, curated by Christina Dovolis & Evangeline Y Brooks, is presented in street-facing windows along Queen Street West.  Featured artists imagine a world that invites the right-to-repair for human and machine bodies alike, reframing the cyborg not as a metaphor, but as a reality of those living with synthetic interventions and computerized body parts.

This residency is presented with SariSari Xchange and supported by the City of Toronto’s Community Celebration Support Fund.
