Video interview with Brian Boigon. It is published in the context of the exhibition Interactive Entertainment Architecture: Culture Lab, Toronto 1991–1994.
Interactive Entertainment Architecture: Culture Lab, Toronto 1991–1994 proposes an understanding of the Culture Lab as a medium in its own right: a form of interactive entertainment that operates through liveness and staged conditions for participation, eliciting specific behaviours from participants. As evidenced by materials in the Brian Boigon fonds at the CCA, these principles also structured Boigon’s broader practice as an artist, data architect, and design theorist. The exhibition centres on Culture Lab, presenting previously unseen video recordings in an accelerated, thirty-six-channel display that fragments and recomposes the symposium’s architecture. The symposia are contextualized alongside other projects—Cartoon Regulators, SpillVille, Splinters, and Speed Reading Tokyo—to demonstrate the multiple modalities through which Boigon approached the design of interactive media.
