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:The Land Beneath Our Feet: A film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nThe IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene presents \nThe Land Beneath Our Feet: A film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman \nThe Land Beneath Our Feet\, a film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman\, follows a young Liberian man\, uprooted by war\, who returns from the USA with never-before-seen footage of Liberia’s past. The uncovered footage is embraced as a national treasure. Depicting a 1926 corporate land grab\, it is also an explosive reminder of eroding land rights. In post-conflict Liberia\, individuals and communities are pitted against multinational corporations\, the government\, and each other in life-threatening disputes over land. What can this ghostly footage offer a nation\, as it debates radical land reforms that could empower communities to shape a more diverse\, stable\, and sustainable future? \nThe film showing will be followed by a conversation with Gregg Mitman & Donna Haraway. \nRSVP Here \nFor more information\, contact: mfernan3@ucsc.edu \nCo-sponsored by: Institute for Humanities Research\, Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, Center for Creative Ecologies\, Science and Justice Research Center\, and Center for Emerging Worlds \nClick here for Directions & Parking for the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) \n  \n\n  \nReading seminar with Dr. Gregg Mitman \nFilm\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record \nJanuary 10\, 2017 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm \nHumanities 1\, Room 210

SUMMARY:Patricia Piccinini and Donna Haraway in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini will join UC Santa Cruz professor emerita Donna Haraway for a conversation about their shared interest in what Haraway calls “technoculture and speculative fabulations.” \nPatricia Piccinini works in a variety of media\, including painting\, video\, sound\, installation\, digital prints\, and sculpture. In 2014 she was awarded the Artist Award by the Melbourne Art Foundation’s Awards for the Visual Arts. She is well known for her invented\, hybrid creatures which explore the end limits of evolution\, both technological and biological. These creatures evoke the biotechnology and digital technologies that are challenging the boundaries of humanity. \nAs Donna Haraway writes\, “Piccinini is a compelling story teller in the radical experimental lineage of feminist science fiction. In a sf sense\, Piccinini’s objects are replete with narrative speculative fabulation. Her visual and sculptural art is about worlding; i.e.\, “naturaltechnical” worlds at stake\, worlds needy for care and response\, worlds full of unsettling but oddly familiar critters who turn out to be simultaneously near kin and alien colonists.” \nDonna Haraway is a Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Departments at UC Santa Cruz. She is a prominent scholar in the field of science and technology studies and the author of numerous books and essays that bring together questions of science and feminism\, such as A Cyborg Manifesto: Science\, Technology\, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century (1985) and Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective (1988). In September 2000\, Haraway was awarded the highest honor given by the Society for Social Studies of Science\, the J.D. Bernal Prize\, for lifetime contributions to the field.

SUMMARY:Subatlantic: A Screening and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Arts Division\, Film & Digital Media\, History of Art & Visual Culture\, and the Center for Creative Ecologies presents: \nUrsula Biemann \nSwiss video practitioner Ursula Biemann will screen and discuss her recent speculative SF video essay Subatlantic (2015)\, addressing\, among related works and topics\, the interdisciplinary-discursive ecotone of geology and climatology merged with human politics and history\, as well as her essayistic storytelling and creative imaging. Set in the Shetland Islands\, Greenland’s Disco Bay and on a tiny Caribbean Island\, and occurring at the end of the 2\,500 year old Holocene epoch\, the video’s relational eco-geography captures moments of aquatic flows through invisible ocean streams and melting Arctic icescapes\, and reads this interconnected system as both a hyperobject (one of an expanded geo-space-time\, as Timothy Morton writes)\, and a modeling of intensive science and virtual philosophy (as according to Manuel De Landa). This event will compliment Biemann’s presentation in the Visual and Media Cultures Colloquium the following afternoon:

SUMMARY:UPDATED TIME: Amalia Mesa-Bains Talk & Film Screening of "Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement"
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 9\, 2015\n6 PM\, Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 108 \nThe Institute of the Arts and Sciences and the Museo Eduardo Carrillo invite you to a talk by internationally renowned artist Amalia Mesa-Bains and a screening of the Museo’s new 30 minute documentary Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement. \nAmalia Mesa-Bains is an artist\, scholar\, curator\, and writer who has been involved in the Chicano artist movement since the 1960s. Dr. Mesa-Bains is a leading altar installation artist\, incorporating Chicano culture and folk traditions into her work. She was the curator for the traveling exhibition\,Ceremony of Memory\, and the regional committee chair (Northern California) for the exhibitionChicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation\, 1965-1985 (CARA).

He came of age during the dynamic social change on the 1960s. His tenure at UCSC (1972-1997) began at a turning point on the campus; there was a commitment to become more socially conscious and representative of diversity. Mesa-Bains and Eduardo worked together on a project called the CALIFAS SEMINAR at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery\, Porter College\, UCSC in April\, 1982. Califas gathered Chicano/a artists to discuss the evolving role they played in society. It was a breakthrough event. \nFilmed over 4 years across California and in Baja California\, Mexico\, the award winning documentary\, A Life of Engagement\, documents the artist’s relationship with his Mexican cultural heritage as he negotiated the challenges first generation Americans faced during the tumultuous social changes of the 60s and 70s. It features commentary by Amalia Mesa- Bains. \nJoin us November 9 at 6 pm in Digital Art Research Center\, RM 108. The event is FREE and open to the public.

SUMMARY:DataLex: Privacy\, Big Data\, & the Law
DESCRIPTION:Today\, across nearly every societal sector\, from corrections to education to health care\, large-scale data analysis is a widely adopted tool. Our most personal behaviors and traits are regularly quantified by a rapidly growing array of sensors and devices around us.  These devices are connected to intelligent systems that can render critical predictions about our conduct and choices—what we will buy\, our health\, when we will leave our jobs\, whether we pay our bills\, even whether we will commit crimes. \nWhile data analytics promise to unlock extraordinary advances in productivity and research\, fascinating legal and ethical issues arise as Big Data is deployed in new contexts: \n\nHow does privacy law constrain the ability of data controllers to use or apply predictive judgments about us?\nAre the algorithms that increasingly measure and curate our lives fair\, or can they encode discriminatory biases?\nIn some contexts\, such as genomic research\, are privacy risks to individuals outweighed by the potentially life-saving benefits to society of research that requires large-scale processing of personal information?\nWhat is the role of information governance and regulation in facilitating and sculpting the uses of Big Data?\n\nTo interrogate these issues\, DataLex is bringing together data scientists\, policymakers\, legal scholars\, and privacy advocates to collectively consider these important issues using technical\, social and ethical lenses simultaneously. \nTo register for this event\, or for further information\, including registration\, please visit http://lex.ucsc.edu/resources/datalex_registration.html

SUMMARY:LASER: Leonardo Art/Science Evening Rendezvous
DESCRIPTION:UCSC’s Institute of the Arts and Sciences invites you to the final LASER of the academic year Tuesday\, May 6! Leonardo Art/Science Evening Rendezvous (LASER) is a national program of evening gatherings that bring artists\, scientists\, and scholars together for informal presentations and conversations. Please join us in the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 108 for refreshments at 6:45 p.m. followed at 7 p.m. with presentations by:\n  \nPaul Koch\, “Conservation Paleobiology: Mining the Past to Plan for the Future”\nNorman Locks\, “Photographic Social Landscape Narratives by an Abstract Realist”\nElaine Sullivan\, “Old Places & New Technologies: Visualizing an Ancient Egyptian Temple in 4D”\nRonaldo V. Wilson\, “Art Digital—Ars Poetica”\n  \nPaul Koch is Dean of Physical and Biological Sciences and Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UCSC. His research focuses on vertebrate paleoecology and evolution\, which he places in environmental context through reconstruction of ancient ecosystems and climates. Koch’s work often includes biogeochemical analysis of animal tissues (teeth\, bones\, fur\, skin\, etc.) or environmental samples (soil minerals\, fossil plants\, etc) to study environmental changes over the Cenozoic (the last 65 million years.) In this talk\, Koch will discuss how the study of Paleobiology is used in thinking about\, and planning for\, the environmental future. \nNorman Locks is a photographer and Professor of Art at UCSC. He has exhibited his photographic works widely around the United States\, Japan\, and the Czech Republic and published numerous essays and photographic portfolios. His talk will discuss current and past projects including “Digital Narratives\,” an ongoing series of landscape panoramas designed to pose questions about human\, social\, environmental concerns. In “Digital Narratives”\, Locks makes reference to both the forms within art history and to poetic forms to narrate the past\, current\, and future entanglements between people and landscapes. \nElaine Sullivan is Assistant Professor of History at UCSC. Sullivan is an Egyptologist and a Digital Humanist whose work focuses on applying new technologies to ancient cultural materials. Her talk will discuss the Digital Karnak Project\,  a multi-phased 3D virtual reality model of the famous ancient Egyptian temple complex of Karnak. Sullivan will show imagery from the model and discuss how geo-temporal exploration of ancient places offers completely new ways to look at archaeological sites. \nRonaldo V. Wilson is a Assistant Professor of Poetry\, Fiction and Literature in the Literature Department at UCSC. He is the author of Narrative of the Life of the Brown Boy and the White Man (University of Pittsburgh\, 2008)\, winner of the 2007 Cave Canem Poetry Prize and Poems of the Black Object (Futurepoem Books\, 2009)\, winner of the Thom Gunn Award and the Asian American Literary Award in Poetry in 2010. His latest book is Farther Traveler: Poetry\, Prose\, Other (Counterpath Press\, 2013). This talk/screening will explore the activities between poetry\, art\, dance\, and visual art\, exemplified through Wilson’ mixed-media video series TEAR-E-AVATAR\, recently completed during his tenure as a 2014 artist-in-residence through the Center for Art and Thought (CA+T). Wilson will explore the ways that digital technologies (video\, audio recordings\, movie and music software) complicate and help to render\, and ultimately reveal what’s possible as both the poem’s form and its formation.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Caesar Must Die
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlinale\, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s Caesar Must Die deftly melds narrative and documentary in a transcendently powerful drama-within-a-drama. The film was made in Rome’s Rebibbia Prison\, where the inmates are preparing to stage Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. After a competitive casting process\, the roles are eventually allocated\, and the prisoners begin exploring the text\, finding in its tale of fraternity\, power and betrayal parallels to their own lives and stories. Hardened criminals\, many with links to organised crime\, these actors find great motivation in performing the play. As we witness the rehearsals\, beautifully photographed in various nooks and crannies within the prison\, we see the inmates also work through their own conflicts\, both internal and between each other. \nDiscussion after the film will be led by the UCSC Shakespeare’s Disciplines Research Cluster.
