Interactive Entertainment Architecture

Interactive Entertainment Architecture: Culture Lab, Toronto 1991–1994 proposes understanding the Culture Lab as an independent medium: a form of interactive entertainment that functions through liveliness and staged conditions for participation, eliciting certain behaviors in participants. As evidenced by materials in the CCA’s Brian Boigon fonds, these principles also shaped Boigon’s broader practice as an artist, data architect, and design theorist. The exhibition centers on Kultur Labor, presenting previously unpublished video recordings in an accelerated 36-channel display that fragments and reassembles the architecture of the symposium. The symposia are contextualized alongside other projects—Cartoon Regulators, SpillVille, Splinters, and Speed Reading Tokyo—to illustrate the diverse modalities with which Boigon approached the design of interactive media.

Opening: February 26, 2026, 5 p.m.
