SUMMARY:"You're Data"
DESCRIPTION:You’re Data is both a research project and an experiment in science-inspired art making. With audio-illusions as our focus (those being ‘like optical illusions\, but for hearing’)\, we designed an investigation using human subjects to produce results to be used in future cognitive science research. The results\, as well as various artful depictions of the process\, and outside research on the so-called ‘divide between the arts and sciences\,’ will also come into play in a multi-media installation in the Mug September 12-14. The installation will be open Monday-Wednesday from 5-9pm each evening. Come celebrate a summer’s worth of interdisciplinary experimentation with us!

SUMMARY:The Strangers Project in the Collaboratory
DESCRIPTION:The Strangers Project is a collection of over 20\,000 anonymous handwritten “journal entries” shared spontaneously by passing strangers. I ask people to write about anything they want—as long as it’s true. When people share their stories\, we can explore the connections that make us human. Every day we visit work\, school\, cities\, and businesses. We sit next to one another on trains\, on buses and in cars. We take care of our families and friends\, and of ourselves. Every day\, we choose what we expose to one another. \nSharing stories helps us learn about each other\, and in turn\, about ourselves. For a moment\, it doesn’t matter if you’re a business person\, a student\, a homeless person\, a secretary\, a teacher\, a child\, a doctor\, a traveler\, a mother or a father—we all share something common. We can be people and we can invite those around us in\, and for a moment\, we can share something real. Every person that you pass on the street has a story to share. We are all just waiting for the right time for someone else to listen. – a note from The Strangers Project founder\, Brandon Doman

SUMMARY:Alejandro Durán: Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop students will use the colorful international trash that Durán has found washed up on the caribbean coast of Mexico to create installations on the Vassar campus. We will explore forms that speak to the relationship between the synthetic and the natural at both the micro and macro level and produce photographs of these ephemeral works. \nIn preparation for the workshop students will be asked to scout locations for the installations and take photographs of one micro and one macro location. \nThere will be a maximum of 20 students who may take the workshop. To sign up\, please email thpacio@vassar.edu. \nAlejandro Durán was born in Mexico City in 1974\, Alejandro Durán is a multimedia artist now based in Brooklyn\, New York. Through photography\, installation and video\, his work examines the fraught intersections of man and nature\, particularly revealing the pervasive impact of consumer culture on the natural world. He received an MA in Teaching from Tufts University in 1999 and an MFA in poetry from the New School for Social Research in 2001. \nDurán received En Foco’s 2011 New Works Award\, was included in the 2012 Bronx Biennial of Latin American Art\, and was nominated for the 2014 and 2015 Prix Pictet and the 2016 Prix Thun for Art and Ethics. He has exhibited his work at the Galería Octavio Paz at the Mexican consulate in New York and was Hunter College’s Artist-in-Residence for 2014-2015 with his solo show\, Washed Up: Transforming a Trashed Landscape.

SUMMARY:Experimental Open House: Olmstead
DESCRIPTION:Please see the event description below from 2016 CAAD Multi-Arts Collective participant\, Gabrielle Miranda. \nGreetings! On behalf of Creative Arts Across Discplines and one of the three groups funded by the program this summer\, Do You Hear What I Hear\, you are cordially invited to an Experimental Evening in the EEG Lab in Olmstead! Do You Head What I Hear is composed of myself\, Gabby Miranda (political science)\, Conor Flanagan (also political science)\, Maya Enriquez (cognitive science) and Elisabeth Boyce-Jacino (also cognitive science). You may have heard of our project\, as we have been crowd-sourcing students on campus this summer to participate as test subjects in our research project. This project uses the an electroencephalographic net to record brain waves. Each participant is quite literally hooked up to a computer and can witness elements of their brain activity on a screen. \n\nWhen else have you ever heard of such a thing? \nThis coming Tuesday\, July 19th\, we are inviting whoever (anyone from any major\, faculty\, Poughkeepsie folks\, etc.) to come to the lab\, Room A71\, for a chance to participate in our Experimental Open House. Starting at 7pm\, you will have a chance to be netted (though this will come at a first come\, first served basis). A variety of interdisciplinary-oriented\, creative activities and mini-workshops will aslo be offered. The goal of the event is to experiment with engaging a “creative” mindset in a “scientific” setting. So come blur the disciplinary lines with us and realize some of your own experimental ponderings.

SUMMARY:Washed Up: a lecture with Alejandro Duran
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Alejandro Duran talk about his Washed up Project. Duran will be returning to campus on July 21 to hold a workshop with Vassar students who are on campus this summer. More information on the workshop coming soon! \nWhat is the Washed Up Project? \nWashed Up is an environmental installation and photography project that transforms the international debris washing up on Mexico’s Caribbean coast into aesthetic yet disquieting works. \nOver the course of this project Durán has identified plastic waste from fifty-three nations and territories on six continents that have washed ashore along the coast of Sian Ka’an\, Mexico’s largest federally protected reserve and an UNESCO World Heritage site. He uses this international debris to create color-based\, site-specific sculptures that conflate the hand of man and nature. At times he distributes the objects the way the waves would; at other times\, the plastic mimics algae\, roots\, rivers\, or fruit\, reflecting the infiltration of plastics into the natural environment. \nMore than creating a surreal or fantastical landscape\, these installations mirror the reality of our current environmental predicament. The resulting photo series depicts a new form of colonization by consumerism\, where even undeveloped land is not safe from the far-reaching impact of our culture of disposable products. The alchemy of Washed Up lies not only in transforming a trashed landscape\, but in the project’s potential to raise awareness and change our relationship to consumption and waste.

SUMMARY:Marco Donnarumma Performance of Corpus Nil
DESCRIPTION:Corpus Nil is the new performance by computational sound artist and performer Marco Donnarumma. Two years in the making\, this work hybridises the languages of dance\, sound art and body art into a tense choreographic interchange between a human performer and an autonomous machine. As the performer moves\, the machine uses the bioelectrical voltages and the bioacoustic sounds from his body as the raw material to autonomously generate monolithic sound and light patterns. The human performer and the machine\, form a novel kind of body\, unknown and partial\, disturbing and graceful. \nAs in a trance-like experience\, the pulsating rhythm induces visual and auditory effects: while the physical form of the body on stage seems to gradually mutate\, its corporeal sound is felt as it was beating within the spectator’s bodies.

SUMMARY:Art/Organic/Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Francesco Mastalia\, Professor of Chemistry Miriam Rossi\, and curator Mary-Kay Lombino discuss the unexpected intersections between organic farming\, art\, science\, and food.  For his 2014 book Organic\, Francesco Mastalia used a large format wooden camera and the wet-plate collodion process\, developed in the 1850s\, to produce one-of-a-kind ambrotype images of more than 100 farmers and chefs of the Hudson Valley who shared with him their philosophy about what it means to grow and live organically and sustainably. “Organic” is one of the most misunderstood words describing food today\, and tonight’s gallery discussion will explore the concept from multiple perspectives. This event is generously supported by the Chemistry Department and the Mellon Creative Arts Across Disciplines initiative.

DESCRIPTION:Neil Harbisson is a Catalan-­raised\, British-­born contemporary artist and cyborg activist best known for having an antenna implanted in his skull and for being officially recognized as a cyborg by a government. The antenna allows him to perceive visible and invisible colours such as infrareds and ultraviolets via sound waves. The antenna’s internet connection allows him to receive colors from space as well as images\, videos\, music or phone calls directly into his head via external devices such as mobile phones or satellites. Harbisson identifies himself as a cyborg\, he feels both his mind and body are united to cybernetics. He doesn’t feel he is using or wearing technology\, instead he feels he is technology. His artworks investigate the relationship between colour and sound\, experiment the boundaries of human perception and explore the use of artistic expression via sensory extensions. In 2010 he co­­founded the Cyborg Foundation with Moon Ribas\, an international organization that aims to help humans become cyborgs\, defend cyborg rights and promote cyborgism as a social and artistic movement. \nMarco Donnarumma (b. 1984) is a performance artist\, sound artist\, musician and writer. He has played interactive music by amplifying sounds from his body\, has induced visitors in altered states of self-perception by feeding sounds from their bodies back to their skulls and bones\, has immersed audiences in multichannel sound and video produced by the strain of his muscles while he pulled 50Kg stones\, and has physicalised digital viruses in the body. He uses human bodies and machines as materials. Working with biophysical media\, that is\, biomedical technologies\, sound devices\, computer software\, sensor and transducers\, he creates artworks where human bodies and machines extend\, transform or disrupt each other. His live performances\, concerts and installations are renown for combining rigorous science\, technical sophistication and critical concepts into intense live experiences. \nThere will be a public conversation with both Harbisson and Donnarumma on April 13 in Rocky 200 as a part of the second CAAD Sonic Cyborgs residency.
