WORKSHOP AOIR | A Learning Expedition Through Montreal’s Third Places

Mercredi 10 octobre | Atelier pré-conférence de l’AoIR | A Learning Expedition Through Montreal’s Third Places 

L’équipe du LabCMO organise une learning expedition à travers différents tiers-lieux de Montréal dans le cadre d’un atelier pré-conférence de l’AoIR.

Event description:

Within the AoIR 2018 theme of Transnational Materialities, LabCMO proposes an immersive half-day walked afternoon event focusing on the study of third places whose mandates intersect art, technology, and emerging digital practices.

Through walking and talking, our learning expedition will cut across many of Montreal’s iconic quarters, allowing the participants to follow the cultural and social evolution of the city, from the early immigrant neighbourhoods to the technological and artistic centres that characterize it today.

Our first stop will bring us to NOMAD Nation, a creative co-working production studio situated by the railroad tracks of the Mile End District. Led by Moment Factory founder Jason Rodi, NOMAD Nation houses a creative community specializing in live streaming and digital broadcasts. Our expedition will end at a makerspace, Eastern Bloc, located in the heart of Montreal’s Little Italy. Eastern Bloc explores new modes of production centred on audience participation, technological democratization, and the utilization of urban space.
