The Myth of the Inukshuk (from the Inuktitut: ᐃᓄᒃᓱᒃ)

2nd-year students in the Department of Interdisciplinary Art present projection mappings works they developed and tailored specifically for the Inukshuk sculpture near the Canada House. The works will present the students’ different takes on the concept of wandering, incorporating interactive elements, sound, animation, video, and performance.

The works were developed as part of the “Advanced Video Skills” course, led by Arik Futterman.

At the northern entrance to Musrara neighborhood stands what is probably the first Inuit sculpture in Israel. The stone sculpture by the Jerusalemite artist Israel Hadani was inspired by the Canadian inuksuit, used by the Inuit peoples of the Arctic region in Canada as landmarks or navigation markers through the flat frozen tundra. The simple structures were comprised by balancing rocks to serve as warning signs, mark fishing areas, guide travelers.
