The Yonge-Dundas Square placement provides ten animation students with the opportunity to showcase their work on the digital screens of Yonge-Dundas Square. Our students were asked to respond to the theme of site-specific community and placemaking by responding to the historical, current and future experiences of the Square.  
 
The OCAD U Experiential Learning animation take-over will be shown across five (5) digital screens throughout the month of July 2024. 
 
Artists:  
Ted Lutman, Jessica Zeng, Victor Shen, Diana Wu, Paris Lin, Yiwen Su, Gardiner Zhang, William Bi, John Li, Gunhwan Kim
 
A special thank you OCAD U animation mentor Tommy Truong.
