Mandate

Founded and curated by Todd Janes, Visualeyez was developed by Latitude 53 to create opportunities for artist and audiences to experiment and interact with an array of performance artists of various approaches to interdisciplinary and time-based art. Each year, the festival has a curatorial theme that critically investigates relevant aspects or issues of contemporary culture; past festivals have explored ideas of surveillance, voyeurism and spectator sport.
