We welcome special guests Jacob Gallagher-Ross of University of Toronto and Caden Manson of Big Art Group to talk about "interface theatre," an emerging genre of works that examine the way contemporary life is mediated by apps, devices, and data. Shayoni, Miriam, and Pannill then take stock of the political attacks on higher education and freedom of expression in recent months.
