Avenue-Parc / Fairmount Avenue Intersection, Montreal
This weekend has been fairly quiet but I met up with Xin Wei to continue our discussion about the TML, in a lovely café called ‘Le Figaro‘, on Saturday. We had a really great conversation about his plans for the lab, his ideas about ‘thick experiments’ and also how to go about creating events where you can palpably encounter concepts. We swapped different readings that we liked and when I finally left and looked at the time, four hours had gone by!
The first week or so has been rather intense and so it’s been nice to have a long weekend (it’s Canadian Thanksgiving) so that I can recover. I’ve explored some of the surrounding area and played around on Google Map Street View, which has just launched! Good timing.
I don’t have a schedule for the forthcoming weeks but this is what’s lined up for tomorrow:
Please come join Thomas Jellis from Oxford for an introductory conversation about spaces of aesthetic experiment and ecologies of practice.
4:30 Tuesday October 13
TML EV7.725Thomas Jellis is a DPhil student in the School of Geography at the University of Oxford. His research focuses mainly on science and technology studies, philosophy and non-representational thought. He’ll be a resident researcher at the TML till December.
Xin Wei
Please come for a chat, plus drinks afterward!
