CONnections: Messages Through Time & Space
Advertisement
CONnections is a one-day mini-convention exploring the art, mystery, and power of communication in speculative fiction and games.
Held at the BCIT Burnaby Campus (Buildings SE02 & SE06), we invite you to join us in a shared exploration of how meaning is made—and lost—across galaxies, dimensions, cultures, and minds, and considering the many forms of connection in our favourite media:
• How do aliens, dimension hoppers, and ancient wizards understand each other?
• What happens when language fails?
• Can a visual symbol really carry more truth than a thousand words?
• How do you say hello to a species you can’t understand?
• How do silence, censorship, or hidden texts shape worldbuilding and tension?
Whether you’re fascinated by translation, obsessed with cryptic runes, or love the idea of communication breakdowns in interstellar diplomacy, CONnections offers something for you.
