COLLABORATIVE VIDEO SCREENING:
" i am today's lesson plan " 9:00/stereo/color/2007
by Torsten Zenas Burns & Darrin Martin
I am today’s lesson plan is a unique edit of Burn’s and
Martin’s epic LearningStalls: Lesson Plans, which utilizes
video as a trans-disciplinary curriculum exploring
diverse speculative fictions and reimagined educational
practices. Psychic surgery meets physical therapy as matter
and anti-matter merge under the choreographed supervision
of other worldly beings. In the search for new mind/body
experiences, Burns, Martin and other workshop participants
enact paranormal interactions, intersexual dynamics,
pseudo-testing methods, and staged quasi-therapy sessions.
