Limited capacity: register now to reserve your spot! Registration Deadline: April 21, 2026

Workshop Days and Hours

Two sessions, 10 hours total

Day 1 - Multi-Channel Video Editing in DaVinci Resolve (12-6pm)

We begin with a survey of multi-channel video as an artistic form, looking at works by Nancy Lee and other artists to understand how gaze, rhythm, immserion, and spatial composition shift across multiple displays. From there, participants will learn how to configure a DaVinci Resolve project for three-channel video: setting up timelines, project resolution, managing sync, and developing editing strategies specific to multi-screen work. The day closes with an overview of export and delivery formats.

Day 2 - Installation & Screening (12-4pm)

The second day moves off the computer into the physical space. Participants will get a practical introduction to video installation for three-channel playback such as projector overview, placement, cabling and signal flow, media players and multi-screen playback systems. The workshop concludes with a group screening and discussion of works made by participants over the two days.

About Nancy Lee 李南屏

Nancy Lee 李南屏 is a Taiwanese-Canadian interdisciplinary media artist, DJ, curator, and cultural producer working across XR, music, audiovisual performance, and community organizing.

Their XR journey began with Tidal Traces (NFB, 2017), a 360° dance film, followed by Telepresence (Western Front, 2018), blending VR with 8-channel live music performance. As a Sundance New Frontier alum and 2022–23 artist-in-residence at the Société des arts technologiques (Montréal), they collaborated with Kiran Bhumber on UNION, a speculative sci-fi work combining 3D scanning, XR, and immersive dome theatre performance. Their work has been presented at Cannes, SXSW, MUTEK Montréal and Japan, Centre Phi, and Berlinale.
