Resumen de Live Montage, Chain between media and urban exploration Media architecture interface

Maryam Fazel

• The purpose of this article is to Reconstruct the idea of montage from the context of cinema studies and architecturaltheories, and consequently reframing it under the new title of live montage as new interconnection of concepts suchas every day experience, Urban Flaneire (place Montage1), semantic/mental juxtaposition of images(time montage)within body’s medium. Trying to redefine the nature of montage through finding relations in its neighboring concepts,highlighted Heidegger’s idea of neighborliness and neighborhood in reevaluating the nature of things in relation toother concepts; between things2(Walley,2003). So through the whole article I will try to delineate the boundaries andborders of montage as a concept that redefines itself through redefining its relation’s to other concepts particularlythrough its reflections in media /architecture interface in every day life concepts. Montage for me is a process inwhich fluidity happens after semiotic fragmentation; a process in which ‘real and imaginary running after each other,as if each was being reflected in the other, around the point of indiscernibility,..’( Deleuze, Cinema2,2005).Here theaim is to focus on fluidity as a quality of montage that occurs not through juxtapositions of images or events ratherthrough a process that encompasses gaps and intervals (voids)between images of events in order to get the fluidity;Fluidity of time in Time images or, fluidity in understanding spaces in place montage. Through the idea of montage Ipropose that we can approach virtual/real circular continuity and reflection of one in the other through the path startsfrom fragmentation towards becoming (fluidity), an arrow that starts from abstraction of time or space towards fluidityand continuity. In this Article through moving on the borders of montage in Cinema as well as architectural discourseI will propose Live montage as a result of overlapping idea’s of montage in both disciplines and suggesting newtypes of Montage that happens in the interface of media and architecture collision. Redefining montage in newcontext of our every day life in which access to pervasive media/technologies suggests live montage as a conceptthrough which we can understand the situation and relations of body, place, time and image.
