October 28, 2025

Hand Eye Society (external link)  is a Toronto not-for-profit that showcases and nurtures videogames made primarily for creative expression. Each year, Hand Eye Society programs Super FESTival (external link) , a hybrid celebration of independent games, digital art, and creative technology. Hosted online and in Toronto, the festival brings together game developers, artists, and players from around the world for a week of talks, workshops, and experimental showcases.

Super FESTival kicks off with the Hand Eye Society Ball & Exhibition — an evening of games, performances, and immersive experiences that sets the stage for the week ahead.

2025’s Hand Eye Society Ball  (external link) features 2 video game submissions from Toronto Metropolitan University’s New Media program:
