Daniel is a proud MLC Alumnus and no longer with the Centre.

Daniel Browne is pursuing his PhD in the Communication and Culture program at Ryerson, and is working as a research assistant with the MLC Research Centre in producing audio-visual documentation for exhibitions and other events. Daniel has a Masters of Arts in Communications and Culture from York and Ryerson Universities, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) from Ryerson’s School of Image Arts. His MA project examined aesthetic and perceptual relations between Canadian avant-garde cinema and Marshall McLuhan’s model of acoustic space. The accompanying media project, a 28 minute film entitled memento mori, was awarded Jury Prize for Best Canadian Work at the 2012 WNDX Festival in Winnipeg, and will be exhibited at Ryerson Gallery in January 2013.
