Black Box, Concordia, Montreal
It was an early-ish start at the lab today, meeting Xin Wei around 10:00-ish. We were to help Michael Montanaro move equipment down to the Black Box, in the basement of the EV building. It’s an enormous space which is often used for Hexagram events. The project that Micheal and others in the building (including the TML) are working on is called ‘Frankenstein’s Ghosts‘:
a collective creation-research project to build a hybrid critical discussion and performance work based on the substantive issues raised in Mary Shelley’s seminal novel, Frankenstein.
I’m hoping to spend some time with Michael and Jerome (who’s interested in responsive environments) in the Black Box over the next week or so. I’m wondering if the name is literal (it is a black box-like room) or a play on the Latourian notion (he uses the term to describe when something’s inner workings are no longer open to scrutiny)!
