Forget what that sooth sayer told you about the Ides of March because today [murmur] is launching our first interior project at historic Hart House on the University of Toronto campus. Stories include how the ceremonial mace ended up in the RCMP evidence bin, tales of the Hart House ghost and a story from director Atom Egoyan recounting his first tracking shot ever in the second floor hallway. If you’re nearby, please join us tonight for an opening reception beginning at 6pm in the Debates Room that will include thoughts on interactive media from Ana Serrano, Director of the Habitat new media lab at the Canadian Film Centre. Habitat is where [murmur] was born, and like all good parents, continues to help us along the way.
As with our other projects, Hart House isn’t finished. If you have story about the house you would like to share, please email murmur@harthouse.utoronto.ca. In doing this project, I discovered that the house isn’t just a place for students, it’s really a Toronto landmark.
