Norman White's Communication Aesthetics and Strategic Arts Initiative

Norman White, a professor at Toronto's Ontario College of Art, co-directs the Department of Photographic Arts and helped establish the Strategic Arts Initiative. A video interview was conducted to discuss works by Canadian artists associated with this initiative. The conversation focused on White's robotic creations and their relationship to communication aesthetics. This interview was documented in February 1988 through Artpress. White's academic position and institutional leadership roles were central to the discussion about technological art practices emerging from Canadian artistic circles during this period.
