Montreal Cultural Calendar

Thirty years later, we will commemorate JenniCam's anniversary with a day-long event about and through live streaming practices. Keynote lecture by Susanna Paasonen (online), plus an in-situ conversation. Snacks and beverages will be provided.

Second presentation of the Design & Computation Arts Speaker Series featuring Dr. Iva Rešetar, an architect and interdisciplinary researcher at the Cluster of Excellence Matters of Activity at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Iva Rešetar studied architecture at the University of Belgrade and the Städelschule in Frankfurt and received her doctorate from the Berlin University of the Arts' Department of Digital and Experimental Design. Her dissertation critically examines the relationship between architecture and environmental technologies, searching out historical and experimental knowledge of thermodynamic processes of phase change in architecture – how they are sensed, mediated and acted upon in context of the current climate crisis. Her interests lie in fluid materialities, methods and practices of energy and heat, and their implications for environmental regeneration and repair of the built environment. Recent publications include Breath: Morphological, Ecological and Social Dimensions (De Gruyter, 2022), and Thermodynamic Structures: Modulating Heat with Phase Change Materials in Architecture (Berlin University of the Arts, 2025).
