"I am Today’s Lesson Plan" is a unique and variable edit of Burn’s and Martin’s epic Learning Stalls: Lesson Plans, which utilizes video as a trans-disciplinary curriculum exploring diverse speculative fictions and reimagined educational practices. Psychic surgery meets physical therapy as matter and anti-matter merge under the choreographed supervision of other worldly beings. In the search for new mind/body experiences, Burns, Martin and other workshop participants enact paranormal interactions, intersexual dynamics, pseudo-testing methods, and staged quasi-therapy sessions.
I am today’s lesson plan has screened extensively at venues including Les Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, MassArt Film Society, The Busan Video Festival in South Korea, and The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Germany. It is also included in the touring program Soft Science curated by Rachel Mayeri that screeed in Canada, Spain, Chech Republic, Scotland, Brazil, Denmark, The Netherlands, and throughout the United States. Soft Science is distributed by Video Data Bank.
