SUMMARY:Dark Deleuze in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Culp’s Dark Deleuze (University of Minnesota Press\, 2016) offers a radical reinterpretation of the theorist Gilles Deleuze that challenges today’s world of compulsory happiness\, decentralized control\, and overexposure. Arranged in a series of contraries\, Culp’s cataclysmic politics exhorts us to kill our idols and cultivate “hatred for this world.” \n“Dark Deleuze in the Dark” is a conceptual conversation conducted in the dark with Professor Culp that addresses themes from his work on interruption\, un-becoming\, and escape. In our age of ubiquitous connectivity\, joy\, and self-disclosure\, how might darkness help us to cast a line to the outside? As Culp argued in a recent interview\, “A revolution that emerges from the darkness holds the apocalyptic potential of ending the world as we know it.” \nThis event is organized by INTERVAL and hosted by OpenLab with support from Film & Digital Media\, Digital Arts & New Media\, and the Arts Division at UCSC. INTERVAL is a space dedicated to interdisciplinary play and experimentation of art practice and scholarship. \nRefreshments provided. \nAndrew Culp is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Emerging Media and Communication at the University of Texas\, Dallas.

SUMMARY:Screening of “Okinawa: The Afterburn” with Director John Junkerman
DESCRIPTION: Q&A with Director John Junkerman to follow the film\n\nIntroduction by Professor Alan Christy\, Department of History\n\nDirected by John Junkerman\, long-term resident of Japan and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker\, the brand-new “Okinawa: The Afterburn” is a sweeping\, in-depth look at the wartime and postwar history of Okinawa and the massive American military presence on the island. Consisting of interviews and rare archival footage on the 1945 Battle of Okinawa\, the 27-year American occupation and the ongoing struggles of the local people up until the present\, the film is a powerful statement on the historical background and complex reality of US bases on Okinawa\, an issue that remains highly controversial on both the island itself and in mainland Japan.\n\nCo-sponsors:\n\nCenter for Documentary Arts and Research\nDepartment of History\nInstitute for East Asian Studies\nFilm and Digital Media\nThe Gail Project

SUMMARY:Imagining Social Identities Through Computing
DESCRIPTION:D. Fox Harrell\, Associate Professor of Digital Media\, MIT\nHosted By Noah Wardrip-Fruin \nD. Fox Harrell’s research explores the use of the computer as an expressive and cultural medium. As described in his recent book Phantasmal Media: An Approach to Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression (MIT Press)\, through both building and analyzing systems\, he investigates how the computer can be used to express cultural meanings through data-structures and algorithms. In this talk\, focusing on cultural meanings of social identity\, Harrell explores how our identities are complicated by their intersection with computing technologies including social networking\, gaming\, virtual worlds and related media forms. Toward this end\, Harrell will discuss how data-structures and algorithms in popular videogames and social media implement not only persistent issues of class\, gender\, sex\, race\, and ethnicity\, but also dynamic construction of social categories\, discourse\, metaphorical thought\, body language\, fashion\, and more. He shall then present technologies developed in his research group\, the MIT Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression Laboratory\, which offer more nuanced and expressive ways to computationally model identity-related phenomena such as social status\, marginalization\, and social stigma in digital media. \nBio: D. Fox Harrell\, Ph.D.\, is Associate Professor of Digital Media in the Comparative Media Studies Program and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. He founded and directs the MIT Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression Laboratory (ICE Lab). Harrell holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of California\, San Diego. In 2010\, he received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for his project “Computing for Advanced Identity Representation.” His recent book Phantasmal Media: An Approach to Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression was published in 2013 by the MIT Press. He is a 2014-15 Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and recipient of the Lenore Annenberg and Wallis Annenberg Fellowship in Communication.
