SUMMARY:Cookout session #1: Recipe Methodology in AI
DESCRIPTION:Many\, many Machine Agencies’ Writing Workshop\n  \nAI Chantier of the Hexagram Network brings together maker-thinkers whose work spans machine learning\, interaction design\, and experience design\, to create a community of practice through a publication process. \nPrompting potential contributors with an unusual format\, Many\, Many Machine Agencies asks for recipes\, instructions\, or games that centre the problem of agency and interaction and the importance of new kinds of encounters with machines. This edited collection is indeed a kind of a cookbook for engaging critically with machines\, and as such\, we take inspiration from celebrated cookbook authors\, like MFK Fisher\, who provide recipes and instructions for dishes\, while embedding them in a broader biographical and cultural narrative. \nThis cookout session invites contributors to the AI Chantier publication drive to: \n\nLearn more about the recipe methodology and its relevance for engaging with machine agencies and AI\nTo talk about their writing project (share ingredients) and get feedback\nGet a clearer picture about what the publishing process will look like.\n\n  \nWho can participate?\nProspective authors are invited to contribute to this session. We also invite those who are curious about the project. \nThis activity is produced in collaboration with Machine Agencies and Milieux Institute’s Speculative Life Cluster as part of the 2026 Interdisciplinary Encounters. \n  \n  April 21\, 2026 \n 1 -3:30 PM \nSpeculative Life EV 10.625 \n To register or for any questions\, please contact nicole.debrabandere@gmail.com \n  \n  \n  \n                     \n

SUMMARY:Workshop in the Performance Lab
DESCRIPTION:For those of you that have been wanting to learn a bit more about how to work with the tech equipment in the Performance Lab\, this workshop is for you!\n\nWe will be looking at the light board\, the audio mixer\, and how to use these with some of the software that is accessible on the iMac computer in your work in the Performance Lab. The first section of the workshop introduces participants to the gear and equipment\, and the second half\, we’ll experiment and play around together!\n\nPlease feel free to bring any audio and/or video contents that you would like to experiment with.\nThe same workshop format will be given on both two dates (April 22 &May 7)\n\nNo need for a sign up\, just show up!\n\n\n📅 April 22\n⏱️ 5-7 PM\n📍 Performance lab EV 10.785

SUMMARY:[WORKSHOP] The Ghostly Image
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Ghostly Image\, the third workshop of our “Reimagining Research” Spring Workshop Series!\nFrom creating shared 3-D immersive virtual galleries\, exploring creative structures through origami\, examining archiving practices through bio-plastics\, materializing the materiality of the image via emulsion lifting and discovering the new facilities and equipment at LePARC’s revamped Performance Lab\, we have an exciting array of ways to renew and reimagine your research methodologies and practices. \n  \n \n  \n Spaces are limited. Please RSVP to Marc Beaulieu marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca and include within the subject line “Ghostly Image”. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP: \n\nThis workshop will allow participants to re-imagine and transform photographs\, digital images and other works through Polaroid emulsion lifts. Exploring the materiality of film and photographic practice\, participants will work directly with the image of their choosing\, lifting\, folding\, stretching and tearing it. The process of emulsion lifting briefly reduces the image to a ghostly film to then be bonded to another material such as paper\, cardboard\, or fabric. This physical manipulation of imagery provides a framework to discuss transparencies/opacities of identity and selfhood\, thinking through ideas of disclosure and (mis)recognition. \n\nParticipants are invited to bring pre-existing digital images that can be printed on Polaroid film\, or to take photos on site to experiment with the process.\n  \n                                                   \n  \nABOUT CASPER SUTTON-FOSMAN:\n  \n\nCasper Sutton-Fosman is a curator\, artist and academic based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang\, also known as Montreal. Their work engages with queer and disabled relationships to lens-based art and image capture technology\, moving through complex temporalities and webs of connection. They hold an MFA from OCAD University and are a PhD student in the Humanities program at Concordia University.\n\n  \n  \n\n April 23\, 2026 \n 1 – 4 PM \n MilieuxMake Space EV 10.825
