Opening Night: Suffuse Reception
Wednesday, October 22 - 6:00 pmWe open Suffuse with an evening in the a/v gallery, featuring installation screenings and conversations with creative technologists, multimedia artists XEL, Andrew Sun, arya, and Kaila Bhullar. Together, they represent a spectrum of voices embracing experimentation and pushing the boundaries of visual forms. Each artist brings a distinct signature and contribution to the gallery, expressed through their own unique relationship to concept, form, and diversity of technology.
This is your chance to meet and be in conversation with the minds behind the work. We will be exploring their conceptual and technical approaches, and how they embody the theme of ‘suffuse.’
Hosted by ephemeral objects, guest curator of the a/v gallery and performances, this opening reception sets the tone for the days ahead. Priming audiences for a weekend of the most original and daring a/v.
ARTISTS
Hadis Fard (XEL)
Hadis Fard aka XEL is an Iranian/Canadian expansive human being from Lur ancestral lineage. She is living and creating in ancestral land of Sḵw̱xwú7mesh and Shíshálh nations. She is a sound+vision composer and multi-disciplinary artist. Hadis uses sound, visual art, data, code, and poetry to bridge art x tech x eco and creates multi-sensory & immersive performances and installations. Hadis has had a non-linear path in her creative journey. She holds a master of computer science, bachelor of engineering, continuing studies in fine arts, and has studied sound composition independently with various mentors over the years.
Hadis’ muses and explorations are rooted in eco-feminine, mythology, decolonization, geo-psychology, interspecies dialogue, and collective consciousness. She has performed and exhibited in various festivals and venues locally and internationally. Her works have been exhibited in ArsElectronica (NYC garden), Times Square (NYC, US), TheaterLab (NYC, US), Vancouver New Music (Vancouver, BC), Vancouver International Jazz Festival, etc., published science articles in IEEE journal, and her works have been acknowledged by the Canada Council of Arts.
In over fifteen years experience of working with and developing various technological mediums, she has worked with large names in tech industry, and now selectively collaborates to re-purpose the tech. She has collaborated with artists with a wide range of creative palettes, and welcomes co-creation and collaboration in sound, visual arts, creative technology or envisioning social change.

Andrew Sun
Andrew Sun
Andrew Sun (He/They) is a Chinese-Canadian creative technologist based on unceded traditional
territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ
(Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, known as Vancouver, Canada. His practice involves using node-based software and code to explore mathematical concepts with an artistic approach.
With a B.A in Mathematics from the University of British Columbia, he holds an advocacy for
accessible, high-quality education. Andrew frequently leverages his social platforms to provide free tutorials on node-based software which aims to compile educational material for mathematical thinking as a creative approach to art. His practice combines artistic experimentation and technical iteration to redefine the traditional understanding of subjects like code, science, and math.

Between Signals
2025 / Multichannel Sound + Video Installation
Betweenprevious installations, the work deepens into a stranger terrain – where the boundaries between the physical and digital, the natural and the technological, blur and recombine.
The audio composition layers experimental noise and drone textures with fragments of field recordings and processed signals, enveloping the listener in shifting sonic architectures. Simultaneously, the projections unfold in complex, overlapping patterns of image and texture, merging natural imagery with digital manipulations, gestures of the body with algorithmic distortions.
By surrounding the viewer in both sight and sound, Between Signals evokes a sense of wonder and disorientation, inviting audiences to inhabit the liminal space where organic and synthetic realities intertwine. The work resists linear narrative, instead offering an open field of perception – an environment to wander, drift, and dissolve into the entanglement of body, machine, and world.
Artist Bio
Kaila Bhullar (She/They) is a queer Indo-Chilean experimental filmmaker + multimedia artist based in the stolen territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh tribes. Working in video, sound, and installation, Bhullar’s practice is rooted in a distinct visual language that merges glitch, analogue textures, and fragmentation to evoke a sense of disorientation and layered perception. Their work navigates the existential and political dimensions of image-making, often manifesting as abstract, digitally manipulated collages of varying forms that interrogate identity, technology, and the instability of meaning. Using a chaotically layered style that blends analogue textures with digital manipulation, Bhullar constructs immersive, sensorial worlds that blur the boundaries between the real and the simulated.
arya
Arya Hawker is a multimedia artist and filmmaker. His work explores audio-visual expression and human psychology. He uses parametric mathematics, CGI and colourful abstraction to explore heavy themes based on intersectional generational trauma. Since 2009, he has been experimenting with interactive art, real time visual effects, and large scale installations around the Pacific North West.
His work has been featured at events like Prettygoodnotbad, Bass Coast, and Rifflandia music festivals, with collectives Urban Therapy, Subdivision, and Obsidian and in animations like LEGO Ninjago, Deepa & Anoop, and Cleopatra in Space. He has hosted events and given academic presentations in the United Arab Emirates, United States, Japan, and Canada.
Arya’s artistic practice combines animation, procedural art and real time rendering to create cinematic experiences that feel tactile and surreal. His current project Caustica, is made in Unreal Engine and uses photorealism to tell a story of pollution, psychedelia and neocolonialism in a post apocalyptic future set against a mangrove bordering Pakistan and Iran. Caustica: Prelude is an audio-visual short film developed for New Forms 2025, featuring audio from Arya’s musical alias Kairo and psychedelic imagery from Caustica, combining calligraphy, 3D rendering and sound design into one dystopic hallucination.
