It takes place on January 27, 2023 from 12 to 4 pm. In this chapter of the UCSB Reads 2023 selection, Montgomery writes "City life is as much about moving through landscapes as it is about being in them . . . not only does the city shape the way we move, but our movements shape the city in return."

Silicon Valley Requiem is a composition based on the requiem mass but replacing the liturgical environment with the public theater of Tech CEOs. A trio of synthesized male voices singing Gregorian chant melodies is paired with two live female performers singing statements regarding their actions on earth to a monolithic adjudicating soprano projected above. The application of contemporary technology on medieval plainchant creates a plethora of complex philosophical questions. What does it mean for non-humans to sing a text fundamental to the human condition, mortality, and the afterlife? If a techno-utopia is being sold to us by icons of Silicon Valley here on earth, are we living a post-human existence?
