Nuit Blanche 2024 Artists
Kai Nim
"Blurred Lines" explores the passing of time and how the comfort of daily routines can cause us to lose ourselves in its rhythm. This project symbolizes the blurring of our life as a whole; actions, memories, experiences, and relationships, which are simultaneously created and lost as time progresses. "Blurred Lines" aims to inspire people to maintain an inherent curiosity, to experience life beyond the mundane day to day. It asks visitors to fight for more beyond simply existing and to fully embrace the joy and possibilities that their time here has to offer.

Trinity Kernaz with the USSU Women's Centre
“What it Means to be a Woman” is in collaboration with the USSU Women’s Center. The project features a large-scale acrylic painting with an interactive element alongside it. The painting portrays Kernaz’s best friend, “one of the strongest women I’ve ever met”, who was born in South Korea and came to Canada when she was just 11 years old. After conducting a short interview with her friend, Kernaz captured her with elements that are dear to her and what she feels it means to be a woman. While the hardships and challenges of being a woman can be draining, Kernaz aims to create positivity and uplift the voices of women with this project.

Ally Seifert with the Neuroscience Students' Society
In collaboration with the Neuroscience Students' Society, this project aims to blend science and art to communicate the mechanisms behind vision. Vision is the summation of complex neural circuitry and electrical signalling, which allows us to see the world. With this project, we will explore how the anatomical pathways that exist in darkness can light up our perception of the world.
