Irena Latek has been running the research-creation lab medialabAU at Université de Montréal’s School of Architecture, where she is a professor. MedialabAU’s approach uses video and digital art to search the collective unconscious for unarticulated forms of architecture, to track their signs and traces in light, sound, moments or events, and memories. Three methods developed in the lab – moving collage, interactive landscape and video-construction – seek to enrich architectural practice in a non-standard way. These three types of representation are applied to projects, each of which takes on a theme, a place or an inquiry; the projects then become artworks in and of themselves, leading an autonomous existence in galleries, where they speak to the larger public.
