listening to the distance: visionary theories of art technology
October 31, 2014, 4:00 pm »
Historian/theorist Dr. Edward Shanken and artist/researcher Dr.Yolande Harris collaborate to bring their lecture-performance-seminar to the Art|Sci center. Together, they will share complementary and contrasting perspectives on current experimental art practices, addressing ideas of techno-intuition and sonic consciousness, of the potential of transdisciplinary research to generate innovation and the intersections between art, theory, and contemporary social practices.
Tea & Cookies provided.

FILM SCREENING OF KATHY BREW AND ROBERTO GUERRA MOVIE
October 9, 2014
RECEPTION 5:00 pm // SCREENING 6:00 pm
FREE film screening followed by discussion with director Kathy Brew. Lella and Massimo Vignelli are two of the world’s most influential designers. Their work covers such a broad spectrum that one could say they are known by everyone, even by those who don’t know their names. Luminaries from the world of design – from architects, Richard Meier and Peter Eisenman, to graphic designers, Milton Glaser, Michael Bierut, and Jessica Helfand – bring us into Vignellis’ world, capturing their intelligence and creativity, as well as their humanity, warmth, and humor.

GERALD BUCKBERG: "Cardiac Dance" Lecture
09 OCTOBER 2013
CNSI AUDITORIUM
CARDIAC DANCE is based on the twisting, pulsing rhythms of the human heart in motion. Through the work of two cardiologists—Dr. Francisco Torrent-Guasp and Dr. Gerald Buckberg—a new approach to dealing with congestive heart failure has been developed. What you will see on stage is their attempt to show this revolutionary concept through dance, music and media.
First interested in pattern formation through his experimental work on Rayleigh-Bénard convection during his Ph.D., Patrice le Gal was, back then, especially interested in the formation and the interaction of Von Karman wakes and also in the instabilities of the Ekman boundary layer over rotating disks.
Le Gal has published more than 70 research articles in fluid mechanics: on convective patterns, wakes, turbulence, rotating boundary layer instabilities, plankton bioluminescence and more recently on the elliptic instability. He is currently involved in experiments on stratified and rotating flows: strato-rotational instability, internal wave generation, wave breaking, vortex formation. All of these flows have applications in geo and astrophysics.
Recently he developed several artscience projects in collaboration with Javiera Tejerina-Risso who is a video artist. In this talk he talked about the WAVES project they worked on together—an art-science project aimed to install videos, images and multimedia performances based on the visualization of water surface waves.
