HD Video, 2 min 37 seconds (loop) Created for Yale University Physics Department at Wright Laboratories 2015 Video composed as documentation of Montgomery's "Ideation Accelerator" workshop facilitated in collaboration with Wright Lab's physicists and accelerator team in regards to the dismantlement of Yale University's landmark Van de Graaff Particle Accelerator; original construction: 1966, upgrade: 1987 - decommission: 2015. Collaboratively, the Wright Labs team played the early 20th century Surrealist drawing game "Exquisite Corpse" with the prompt to draw either a piece of the accelerator, an energy process, or illustrate an accelerator memory. The resulting drawings rendered a communal portrait in memory. The video serves Wright Labs as a visual and auditory portrait of the landmark Van de Graaff accelerator prior decommission in context of its community.
