The series ran concurrently with a year-long public art commissioning program which culminated in the exhibition&nbsp;<em>Knot Projections 2019: Imagining Publics<\/em>&nbsp;featuring five large-scale outdoor video projections installed at four sites\/surfaces throughout the city. The speaker series stimulated critical thinking during these commissions by bringing to Ottawa five national and international artists, curators and critics who were thinking through questions of publicness, site-specificity and civic engagement in their respective practices. Each delivered a talk in the project space and at times conducted follow-up seminars or workshops with the group of commissioned artists and other artists in the community. Each speaker also offered a reading list of texts related to their ongoing research.&nbsp;<br><br><strong><em>Theories of Sensory Implication for Public Art<\/em><\/strong><\/span><br><br><span style=\"font-family: Avenir Light, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">This discussion led by Dylan Robinson focused on theories of sensory implication, and public art\/activism that implicates viewers in a politics of accountability through its sensory, material and affective impacts.

What roles do alienation and enchantment (among other affective registers) play in the sensory experience of public work?<br><br><strong>Dylan Robinson<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: Avenir Light, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Dylan Robinson is a xw\u00e9lm\u00e9xw artist and writer of St\u00f3:l\u014d descent, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen\u2019s University.
