Lis Roche's Company Details

As an artist, educator and visual communication professional I use digital media art to build bridges across cultures and differences, help communities and individuals tell their stories and create clear, meaningful messages.Miss Canadiana is a performance persona I created. She has become a Canadian icon, traveling Canada and the world since 2002. Her story has been broadcast via print, radio, television, the web and documentary films. The most important thing I've learned from my experience as Miss Canadiana is to BE THE MESSAGE. Not just the messenger.After 16 years, I recently sharpened my Design skills for Print and Web at Toronto Image Works. Currently I am studying at Social Media Magic where I am learning how to take advantage of the latest tools and strategies of Social Media Marketing, the biggest shift since the Internet. The Social Web provides a unique opportunity for arts professionals. I will show you how to break into new networks and stay visible. You will be at the centre of the conversations already happening on the web. You will be a producer, not just a consumer of the latest news.My experience in digital Media began in the mid 90's as co-ounder of Year Zero One, a collective operating as a network for the dissemination of digital culture and curator of exhibitions for Subtle Technologies, a festival that blurs the boundaries between art and science. I collaborate with The Container Project, an award-winning community media lab located in a Shipping Container in Jamaica.
