From Starrett:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><i>&#8220;Layer Chiffon&#8221; is a hands-on interactive installation inviting viewers to explore a sampled history of food, materials, and, gender roles in mid-20th Century America. Custom silicone Bundt &#8220;jello-like&#8221; forms will invite the viewer to touch or press on the jello-y forms.\u00a0<\/i><i>Sensors detect the pressure of the viewer interacting with the form and activate a video projection assigned to it. Each form has a unique video that is associated with the data input of the design. When each form is pressed individually the assigned video will project, when the viewer touches two forms at a time a different video will project allowing the viewer to navigate the videos creating a custom experience or narrative.\u00a0<\/i><i>\u00a0Academic discipline connections in this piece include Digital Humanities, Computer Science, Marketing, History, Animation, and Art.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><i>The forms are designed by data set inputs in three-dimensions. The digital workflow also includes computer-aided design and computer-assisted manufacturing processes to produce the molds. Each mold is later hand-finished and cast.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><\/div>\n<div>This interdisciplinary exhibition is one you simply cannot miss.

From their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1728221900802006\/\">Facebook event<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>Vassar Red Sand Project works alongside the project first started by Molly Gochman. Impermanence of the sand parallels to the loss of stability in a prostitute\u2019s life.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Granular assemblage nature of sand symbolizes the loss of freedom of the prostitute. Sand is nothing without other pieces of sand and it symbolizes prostitutes emotional and financial reliance on their pimps. Rain washes away the sand- washing down the street (like street trash), guzzling down into the gutter. The concept of being washed away\/lost corresponds to psychological duress of victims. Over time the sand washes away, grain by grain; this parallels how over time victims lose their individuality piece by piece. By putting the sand in the c<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">racks it symbolizes more than an emotion, but rather the victims oppression itself. People walking over the cracks without a second thought symbolizes not only the invisibility\/ lack of knowledge about human trafficking, but also people&#8217;s blatant disregard and often re-victimization of those afflicted. The red represents the sexualizing of women, danger, urgency, carnal desire, red light district (Amsterdam), womanhood (Menstrual cycle), suffering, agony, anger and heartbreak.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Please follow this initiative on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vassarredsand\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0@vassarredsand to stay informed and to help spread awareness.<\/p>\n<p><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_3195\" data-imgid=\"3198\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/04\/17201382_1240561546060280_1354281528097787570_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3198\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/04\/17201382_1240561546060280_1354281528097787570_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/04\/17201382_1240561546060280_1354281528097787570_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/04\/17201382_1240561546060280_1354281528097787570_n-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/04\/17201382_1240561546060280_1354281528097787570_n-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>AROUND CAMPUS<\/h2>\n<h3>Building Food: A Symposium<\/h3>\n<p>Vassar&#8217;s first-ever food symposium will take place this Friday and Saturday (4\/7-8) at Alumnae House.\u00a0\u201cBuilding Food: Food, Space, and Architecture\u201d is jam-packed with events that are free and open to the public, but registration is required.
