SUMMARY:Quantifying Creativity: Art through the Eyes of Computation
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Data Science Initiative \n  \nIs the experience of art uniquely human? Can algorithms be artistic producers? Or\, do machines remove the context and meaning from creativity? As artificial agents generate media and evaluate originality\, how will we draw the line between human and machine aesthetics? How will the relationship between art\, and humanity\, be redefined? \nPresentations by Dr. Ahmed Elgammal (Assistant Professor) and Babak Saleh (PhD Student)\, Department of Computer Science\, Rutgers University\, and Chris Smith\, Co-founder at BitMesh\, will be followed by an interdisciplinary panel. David Cope (UCSC\, Music)\, Arnav Jhala (UCSC\, Computational Media)\, Samantha Matherne (UCSC\, Philosophy)\, and Albert Narath (UCSC\, History of Art and Visual Culture) will respond to the presentations and debate the value of using algorithms to assess and understand creativity.\n\nWine and Cheese will be served. Seats are limited: ONLINE REGISTRATION REQUIRED.\n\n  \nFor more details click here!

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Wyrmwood
DESCRIPTION:We need to find a zombie fast.\nThe visually striking feature-film debut of director Kiah Roache-Turner\, who made it on weekends with friends and actors over a number of years\, Wyrmwood approaches the ubiquitous zombie apocalypse (familiar to us from so many works of popular culture over the past decade or so) in an unusually inventive and frenetic do-it-yourself spirit. A passing meteor (our star of Wormwood from the Book of Revelation here) seems to be the instigating force in the transformation of much of the world’s population into zombies\, though a few humans manage to hold off against zombification and try to make their way across the Outback to save one of their family members. A mad scientist\, telepathically controlled zombie hordes\, and a novel solution to the world energy crisis all help make this stand out from recent zombie films/television shows. Not to be missed! \n\n  \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing exploitation films from Australia each week on Wednesdays. Same time starting at 7 pm in Stevenson Room 150. All are welcome! Tell your family and invite your friends. \nWeek 1 – Wolf Creek (2005; dir. Greg McLean)\nWeek 2 – Wake in Fright (1971; dir. Ted Kotcheff)\nWeek 3 – Razorback (1984; dir. Russell Mulcahy)\nWeek 4 – Wyrmwood (2014; dir. Kiah Roache-Turner)\nWeek 5 – Long Weekend (1978; dir. Colin Eggleston)\nWeek 6 – Patrick (1978; dir. Richard Franklin)\nWeek 7 – Next of Kin (1982; dir. Tony Williams)\nWeek 8 – The Loved Ones (2009; dir. Sean Byrne)\nWeek 9 – Stone (1974; dir. Sandy Harbutt)\nWeek 10 – Dead End Drive-In (1986; dir. Brian Trenchard-Smith)
