SUMMARY:Milieux experiential learning workshop series | Embroiderverse: Interfacing AI Text and Textile
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Workshop season continues! \nThis winter we are hosting an experiential learning workshop series\, exploring themes relating to AI & microbial agency\, issues of sustainable practices\, and intimacy and alternate senses\, splicing traditional craft techniques with creative new ways of working. This season’s workshop series in development include: AI Poetry Embroidery\, Exploring Archiving with Bio-Plastics & Resins\, Bacterial Portraiture\, Alternative Pigments (Algae\, Rust & Plant Matter) and Tactile Sound! \n  \nThe second session will be: ‘Embroiderverse: Interfacing AI Text and Textile’\nFriday February 23rd 2024 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.\nwith Morris Fox & Geneviève Moisan and guest Zeph Thibodeau.\nCome create with bots (& other people)!\n \n‘Fusing traditional and machine embroidery methods to stitch decorative poem slogans\, we explore language as code through textile and text’s shared Latin root texere (to weave). Noting the long entwinement of computational and textile histories and techno-cultures\, we will engage chat-bot models to play with material and experiential text and decorative threads. Using the Tajima industrial embroidery machine’s design software database of typefaces as data inputs\, we generate textured poem words. How is AI both a threat and a thread of narrative language? How can poetry hack language-based chat AI’s\, and produce playful failure? This peer-guided experiential learning workshop shares these questions and through tactile processes\, we speculate on what it means to collaborate with AI?’ \nPlease email to reserve a space as slots are limited. Contact marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca\, and be sure to include ‘Embroiderverse’ in the subject line.\nConfirmations will be sent out within a couple of days.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Juan Miceli
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 22\, 2024\, from 5-7 PM\, at the Performance Lab (EV 10.785)\, for an exciting talk with artist Juan Miceli\, hosted by LePARC.\nCome learn about Juan’s experience following six months as a research intern at Milieux in this performance lecture. He will share artworks and creative concepts – such as Inverse Interface\, Artecnic\, Apology of the Remaining\, and Black Milk – that came out of his research-creation process.\nJuan Miceli is an audiovisual artist based out of Buenos Aires and Montreal\, who has studied both Fashion Design and Electronic Art. In 2022\, Juan received an ELAP Scholarship which has supported his Research Internship at Concordia’s Faculty of Fine Arts\, where he has conducted a research project titled Inverse Interface under the tutelage of Ricardo Dal Farra. This internship research fed into Juan’s Master’s thesis in the Aesthetics and Technology of Electronic Arts\, which he is pursuing at the National University Tres de Febrero (UNTreF) under the direction of Mariela Yeregui (PhD) and Andres Rodriguez (PhD). \nThe materiality of the Inverse Interface research creation project consists of the development of collaborative video installations\, a genealogical work in relation to technological practices like vision machines\, and experimentation with immersive environments\, bodies and interfaces. Juan’s work stems from a Latin American perspective that is in a permanent stage of construction. Working with a fusion of media including sculpture\, video\, installation\, generative video\, digital modelling and performance\, Juan develops exhibitions and research projects that investigate the relationship between art\, the body and technology. \nJuan’s work has been supported by such institutions as Milieux Institute\, Concordia Fine Arts\, National Fund for the Arts (Arg)\, San Martin University (UNSAM)\, CCGSM\, and the National Contemporary Dance Company and Expressions Cultural Center (US)\, among others. His video installations have been exhibited at the Concordia Black Box\, Fourth Space\, C3 Science Center\, the National Center of Music and Dance\, B. Rivadavia Museum of Natural Sciences\, ThisIsNotAGallery\, the MACA Junín Museum\, Expressions Cultural Center\, the University of Cordoba\, the Spanish Cooperation Center in Buenos Aires\, and the Recoleta Cultural Center\, to name a few.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Meezan (Scale) by Shahab Mihandoust + Q&A (presented by the Concordia Ethnography Lab)
DESCRIPTION:The first Concordia Ethnography Lab film night of the semester is coming up on February 9th\, 2024\, at 6:30 pm\, this time at the VA-114 Cinema. We will be screening Meezan (2023) by Shahab Mihandoust followed by a Q&A with the director. Free! No registration! All are invited! \n \nSet in south-western Iran\, in the province of Khuzestan and bordering with Iraq\, Meezan (Scale) is an observational and immersive experience\, a journey from the sea to the land\, about labor at the margins of petro-capitalism in three chapters. \nDeparting from the shore of Abadan\, the first oil company-town in the Middle East\, it follows a group of Arab fisherman who exemplify the realities of maintaining intergenerational ways of living and working on the sea. The men lead us to Bahrakan harbor where they barter for their share of the catch. What is contemporaneously a meeting place for fishmongering was a site of arduous migration for refugees fleeing Abadan after the mass destruction of the Iran-Iraq war in 1980’s. Meezan concludes in a secluded shrimp processing plant on the outskirts of Abadan where women who are shuttled in from surrounding villages furiously peel and devein shrimps in their own race for wages. \nDespite the massive industrialization of the region\, waterways of Khuzestan remain a significant source of income for the native communities who are most intimately connected to these embattled landscapes\, and Meezan is a reflection on the relation between bodies and scales to acknowledge the weight of the past and its consequences in the present.  \nShahab was born and raised in Tehran before he moved to Tio’tia:ke/Montreal in 2004. Inspired by ethnographic approaches to research and creation\, his documentary practice stands at the intersection between cinema and anthropology\, and his work often approaches the entanglement of identity and labor in everyday life practices; and as they relate to natural and built environments to understand the impacts of social\, cultural and political processes on people and places.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Lília Mestre & Laura Pante 
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 7th\, 2023\, from 5-7 PM\, at the Performance Lab (EV 10.785)\, for an artist talk hosted by LePARC with one of the cluster’s new co-directors Lilia\, and visiting doctoral student Laura Pante who is here until the end of December. \nLília Mestre (she\, her) is a performing artist\, dramaturge and researcher working in collaborative formats mainly in the fields of contemporary dance and choreography. Mestre works with scores\, inter-subjective set-ups and other chance-induced processes as emancipatory artistic and pedagogical tools\, which have been documented in various publications. She is interested in forms of organization created by and for artistic practice as alternative study processes for social-political reflection. For the past 8 years\, she has been working on the concept of ‘artificial friendship’ which has been the source for the creation of methodological structures (scores) for exchange and collaboration in artistic research settings. Mestre has worked as mentor\, project curator and artistic coordinator of the postgraduate program a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies) in Brussels\, Belgium since 2012. She is currently Assistant Professor at the Department of Contemporary Dance and Co-director of the Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC) at Concordia University. \nLaura Pante (Italy\, 1983) is a dancer and artistic researcher of dance theories and practices. She graduated in Visual Arts at IUAV University of Venice. Since October 2020 she has been a PhD student at the same university\, where she conducts research titled Soil\, Landscape\, Habitat – three ways of the relationship between presence\, body and the virtual under the supervision of Prof. Annalisa Sacchi. In 2019\, she completed a period of study at APASS (Advanced Performance and Scenographic Studies) in Brussels. Her research focuses on the analysis of the political articulation of thought and movement in the context of the relationship between body techniques and technologies of the self. Pante is currently a visiting researcher at the Performing Arts Research Cluster.

SUMMARY:Drawing and Ethnography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ethnographic methodologies include a wide range of approaches\, many explored in the book A Different Kind of Ethnography (2016). One that has been neglected\, while having been a tool for expression and documentation for ever\, is drawing. Kuschnir (2016\,105) says “ Both anthropology and drawing are ways of seeing and also ways of knowing the world. Placing these two universes in dialogue helps shed light on some of the important issues faced by anthropological practice today\, such as the need to express both the “inner and outer worlds” that intersect in our research”. \nFor this workshop we’ll be going on a walk together to explore the city (location tbd) accompanied with our pencils and paper and invite you to reflect on the following questions together: \nHow is our gaze shifting when the practice of drawing is introduced in our observations/experience? \nHow is imitation\, reproduction and interpretation present in our observation? \nWhat does it reveal about our conscious and unconscious assumptions? \nWhat are some ethnographic insights in paying attention to the technique of drawing as a practice? \nThe workshop will be co-facilitated by Pelin Karaaslan\, a visual artist based in Montreal and Irmak Taner\, ethnolab alumnus. \nPlease email concordia.ethnography@gmail.com to register and to stay updated about the chosen location for the event.

SUMMARY:AI and Music: Public Recording (Concert)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert of music generated by Artificial Intelligence! \nArtificial Intelligence in Music research is a new step in algorithmic and generative music that started in the 1950s with a Computer Assisted Composition tools. This ongoing project is supervised by Eldad Tsabary\, Sabine Bergler and Yong Zeng. The main research assistant for the project\, and composer\, is Philon Nguyen. The concert (perhaps the word public recording would be more exact) will take place on November 23rd from 19-20h at the Concordia’s Black Box (1515 St. Catherine W. Room OS3-845).  \nThe public recording “Artificial Intelligence and Music” was made possible through a grant by the Gina-Cody School of Engineering and the Milieux Institute. The concert addresses the question: What can AI-generated music look like? \nFollowing the concert\, an analysis of the recording and the musicians’ experience of performing AI composition will lead to a paper on natural and unnatural renderings of New Music.

SUMMARY:Repurposed Methods with Anna Harris by The EthnoLab & The Centre for Sensory Studies
DESCRIPTION:The Ethnography Lab and Centre for Sensory Studies are hosting a brown bag lunch on Repurposed Methods with Anna Harris\, Associate Professor of the Social Studies of Medicine at Maastricht University and an Affiliated Researcher with the Centre for Sensory Studies at Concordia. \nRepurposing is a term and practice growing in popularity\, whether in reference to the repurposing involved in upcycling\, the repurposing of pharmaceuticals\, or data repurposing\, to name a few. In the context of a new project on upcycling in hospitals\, Anna would like to consider with the attendees what it means to think about repurposing in regards to the project’s mythologies both for her work and that of those who attend. \nDuring the lunch she’ll introduce her research project\, and we’ll discuss one or more of the methodological approaches being developed. \nRe-use: what it means to make ethnographic materials available to other to use\nRecycling: what it means to use the open data sets shared by other researchers in our own ethnographic works\nUpcycling: how as ethnographers we can bring making methods (e.g. workshops\, exhibitions) into our research projects. \nWhen: 22nd November\, 12.30-2pm\nWhere: Speculative Life Research Cluster (EV 10.625) \nBRING YOUR LUNCH! \nPhoto Credit: Maastricht University

SUMMARY:Launch of our brand new Visual Methods Studio (VMS) at Speculative Life
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 10th from 1-3pm at the Speculative Life Research Cluster (EV. 10.625) for the launch of our brand new Visual Methods Studio (VMS)!\n \nA festive event to inaugurate the Ethnography Lab’s new working group! We will provide food for body and mind and we can’t wait to introduce the new studio to you. The VMS is a space to bring all questions/concerns about researching through the visual\, visual analysis\, visually representing research and everything in between. We will be planning speakers/workshops/think-tanks throughout the year about collecting data visually and how to organize it and all the aspects of research that involve visuality. We welcome all students\, staff\, faculty and community members wishing to work on visually oriented or visually informed research.\n \nThe studio will be run by Carolina Cambre and Mitchell McLarnon (profs in the Department of Education).

Committed to cinema education and outreach\, Kaveh continues to work with emerging filmmakers at Haiti’s Artists Institute and in the Alqonquin community of Kitigan Zibi. As a composer and trumpet player\, he’s toured the world and released several critically-acclaimed albums with his Juno award-winning band Bell Orchestre.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Sisters in STEAM: Revital Software and Ekosi Studio in Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The Indigenous Futures Research Centre (IFRC) is thrilled to collaborate with the Just Feminist Technology and Scholarship Lab and cohost this virtual artist talk featuring two remarkable pairs of Indigenous sisters working at the intersection of Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts\, and Mathematics (STEAM). This event will highlight the exciting work of Kahentawaks and Wannekerakon Tiewishaw\, founders of Revital Software\, and Keara and Caeleigh Lightning\, founders of Studio Ekosi. \nRevital Software is a small company that works with Indigenous communities to create interactive language revitalization software and Studio Ekosi uses narrative-driven games and animated films\, to create moments of joy\, worlds that spark wonder\, and characters people see themselves in. \nThe Tiewishaw and Lighting sisters will speak about their work\, challenges and aspirations as Indigenous women in STEAM\, but also about their path to Indigenous language/culture revitalization and their relationship to software development and animated films as means to achieve their ambitions. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace (AbTeC) and will be moderated by IFRC co-director Prof. Jason Lewis. It is part of the 5th season of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series Disrupting Disruptions\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum. \nRegister
