The Symposium

Where touch, sound, and vibration become art.

Centre[4]Arts and VibraFusionLab (VFL) are thrilled to share an early look at something extraordinary. This February, art, technology, and accessibility will converge at Haptic Horizons — a three-day symposium exploring the creative power of touch, sound, and vibration.

Building on our 2024 national residency program, which welcomed Deaf and/or disabled artists from across Canada to Hamilton for creative exploration, we are proud to present the Haptic Horizons Art Symposium — a gathering of artists, researchers, and innovators reimagining how art can be experienced, shared, and felt.

Hosted at The Spice Factory, this dynamic event will feature artist talks, installations, workshops, and performances that bridge the worlds of art, science, and accessibility — expanding how we understand sensory experience and inclusive design.

Follow @centre3_ and @vibrafusionlab for updates as we begin this exciting journey toward Haptic Horizons.

This symposium is made possible through the generous support of:
