Sigi Torinus will look at challenges associated with documenting ephemeral creative works in response to a reading of Peggy Phelan’s position on ephemeral presence as an undocumentable event. Considering our current mediatized context however, the idea of irreproducibility calls for a rethinking to accommodate documentation processes and to reimagine the failure of the documentary object as dynamic and productive.

All events will be held at the University of Windsor, Multimedia Studio (Rm 107), Alan Wildeman Centre for Creative Arts, 360 Freedom Way (across Freedom Way from the SoCA Armouries) AND Friday's sessions will be simultaneously streamed online through a link provided to registrants.
