Terry O’Reilly is the perfect guide to the “Age of Persuasion”. As the host, creator and co-writer with Mike Tennant of two wildly popular CBC Radio series on advertising, he is known as a delightful raconteur and scholar of media literature. But unlike academics, his day job as one of the top directors of radio and TV commercials, affords him a unique perspective on marketing and how it has driven a change in the way we react to media.

Join us May 14th, as Terry O’Reilly continues to explore the countless ways marketers permeate your life, from media, art, and language, to politics, religion, and fashion.

This year, 918 Bathurst will be taking the prestigious Contact Photography Festival to a whole new level. The aim of Contact 918 is to create new communities through the medium of photography using the Internet as a meeting ground. Contact 918 is the culmination of images from an online network of international photographers. This global initiative is an inclusive forum for photographers to become part of a video projection to be broadcast at 918 Bathurst.

Throughout the month of May, the photographs submitted through this website will be showcased as part of a running video projection in the 918 Bathurst Cultural, Arts, Media and Education Centre open to all audiences for the Contact Photography Festival. The main event dates are: Saturdays, May 9, 16, 23, 30.
