This immersive environment continues our exploration of the delights and problematics of cities. Highlights from The City: A Portal include: idiosyncratic uses of video projections that layer presence with transience and transparency, destabilizing our understanding of inhabiting a space or even belonging in it, questioning our notions of the real, the imagined, the hyperreal; soundscapes using text excerpts from Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" as a poetic backdrop against which alternative voices respond; interactive map-making designed to explore issues of freedom of movement, contested migrations, anthropogenic destruction, and failed utopian projects; Calvino-inspired curios that invite inquiry into memory, desire, death, and decay.
