Jason is a Toronto-based critic and a doctoral candidate in the Joint Programme in Communication and Culture at York and Ryerson Universities, which he entered in 2005 after completing his MA in Political Theory at the University of Toronto. He joined the Visible City Project + Archive in the Havana winter of 2007, where he began to cast the task of urban criticism under the light of translation. The resulting project—first presented at the Spring 2007 Visible Working Papers Series as ‘Communicating the City: Beyond Autobiography’—combines Jason’s research interests in experimental epistemology, cultural psychoanalysis, and dialectical topography. In his work as a founding member of LOT: Experiments in Urban Research Jason is pursuing this project further through an investigation of the unconscious of the wireless city.
