VIVO Media Arts and Chapel Sound co-present Multi-Channel Video Editing & Installation workshop facilitated by Nancy Lee. This two-day hands-on workshop introduces video artists, filmmakers, and editors to the practice of multi-channel video – from editing and export to physical installation in a gallery or screening space. This workshop will consist of two sessions.
Limited capacity: register now to reserve your spot! Registration Deadline: April 21, 2026
Two sessions, 10 hours total
Day 1 - Multi-Channel Video Editing in DaVinci Resolve (12-6pm)
We begin with a survey of multi-channel video as an artistic form, looking at works by Nancy Lee and other artists to understand how gaze, rhythm, immserion, and spatial composition shift across multiple displays. From there, participants will learn how to configure a DaVinci Resolve project for three-channel video: setting up timelines, project resolution, managing sync, and developing editing strategies specific to multi-screen work. The day closes with an overview of export and delivery formats.
Day 2 - Installation & Screening (12-4pm)
The second day moves off the computer into the physical space. Participants will get a practical introduction to video installation for three-channel playback such as projector overview, placement, cabling and signal flow, media players and multi-screen playback systems. The workshop concludes with a group screening and discussion of works made by participants over the two days.
This is an intermediate video editing workshop. Participants should have past video editing experience. They should be comfortable working in non-linear video editing softwares such as Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or Avid. A basic understanding of video project settings, image resolution, media library, timelines, interface layout, and editing functions (cut, trim, link, etc) is required.

VIVO is located in the homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples in a warehouse space at 2625 Kaslo Street south of East Broadway at the end of E 10th. Transit line 9 stops at Kaslo Street on Broadway. From the bus stop, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight decline. The closest skytrain station is Renfrew Station, which is three blocks south-east of VIVO and has an elevator. From there, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight incline. There is parking available at VIVO, including wheelchair access parking. There is a bike rack at the entrance. The front entrance leads indoors to a set of 7 stairs to the lobby.
A wheelchair ramp is located at the west side of the main entrance. The ramp has two runs: the first run is 20 feet long, and the second run is 26 feet. The ramp is 60 inches wide. The slope is 1:12. The ramp itself is concrete and has handrails on both sides. There is an outward swinging door (34 inch width) at the top of the ramp leading to a vestibule. A second outward swinging door (33 inch width) opens into the exhibition space. Buzzers and intercoms are located at both doors to notify staff during regular office hours or events to unlock the doors. Once unlocked, visitors can use automatic operators to open the doors.
There are two all-gender washrooms. One has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The other is a single room with a urinal and is wheelchair accessible: the door is 33 inches wide and inward swinging, without automation. The toilet has 11 inch clearance on the left side and a handrail.
To reach the bathrooms from the studio, exit through the double doors and proceed straight through the lobby and down the hall . Turn left, and the two bathrooms will be on your right side. The closest one has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The far bathroom is accessible.
Nancy Lee 李南屏 is a Taiwanese-Canadian interdisciplinary media artist, DJ, curator, and cultural producer working across XR, music, audiovisual performance, and community organizing. Their practice is rooted in an ongoing investigation of surveillance, migration, and tech ethics — weaving these themes through immersive technology and embodiment.
Their XR journey began with Tidal Traces (NFB, 2017), a 360° dance film, followed by Telepresence (Western Front, 2018), blending VR with 8-channel live music performance. As a Sundance New Frontier alum and 2022–23 artist-in-residence at the Société des arts technologiques (Montréal), they collaborated with Kiran Bhumber on UNION, a speculative sci-fi work combining 3D scanning, XR, and immersive dome theatre performance. Their work has been presented at Cannes, SXSW, MUTEK Montréal and Japan, Centre Phi, and Berlinale.
Nancy co-founded Chapel Sound Art Foundation and CURRENT Symposium, supporting underrepresented artists through programming and mentorship. They teach workshops at Festival of Recorded Movement and IM4 Media Lab, offer programming consultation to VIFF and MUTEK Montréal, consult for Creative BC and Music BC on funding access, and serve on the boards of Love Intersections and Normie Corp – uplifting queer voices in media and music. Recent work includes Woven Memory: Copper Bodies (2024), a 3-channel A/V documentary installation with Chilean-Canadian weaver Soledad Fatima Muñoz, and OSMOSi: 422 Unprocessable Entity (2024), a speculative sci-fi performance about the platformization of society, marking a return to dance and music composition.
