This issue emerged from an extensive art project where students from a Toronto high school worked with professional artists to produce an interactive exhibition. The resulting installations, shown in the issue in CD-ROM format, explored the relationships and boundaries between high school and the city, art and education, age and adolescence, and high and low technology. The works included chart the experience of time in high school, or, as Marshall McLuhan deftly put it, “doing time.”
James Carl, “Local Time”:
“The material city is a mosaic compromised of intersections of time, space, purpose, style and chance. The result is literally monumental in scale and function. The built world is our most direct connection with the past, and the activity that constituted that past. The architectural layering of the city makes object the operations that constituted past time: plans drawn, decisions made, materials assembled; friends, relatives and experts consulted, conflict established and/or resolved; buildings built, re-built, re-surfaced, re-thought, re-fused, re-possessed.” (80)
