The Topological Media Lab invites you to see results from a month-long
series of experiments in movement and intentionality on Wednesday July
18 from 5 to 7 PM at the Hexagram Blackbox (B2-845, EV building
Concordia University, 1515 Ste. Catherine West).

Artists and research affiliates of the Topological Media Lab present
results in the form of a participatory session, a performance-event,
and a conversation among artists and guests.
Our structured improvisation experiments explore the emergence of
collective intention in activity ranging from un-prepared everyday
"un-conscious" movement, to pre-conditioned but un-rehearsed
improvisatory movement, and phrased, choreographed movement. The
dancers and non-dancers have worked with the latest synthesis of the
TML's responsive media environment, in Concordia's Hexagram Blackbox.
