“We are very excited about this project. The involvement of Vancouver's artists with social media came very clear to me during the protests against the cuts for arts in BC last summer. Artists got organized through Facebook and Twitter to get together and share ideas. That has been a big leap from the old view of artists being isolated in their studios. Now they share working spaces, organize exhibitions, and get feedback and ideas - with social media being a huge facilitator.” –Lili Vieira de Carvalho, show curator
