SUMMARY:Structure Born Music: Performing in the Publicness-less City
DESCRIPTION:In Tkarón:to/Toronto\, Bauhaus is a corporate libertarian slogan––appropriated by the city’s most infamous condo developer (bauhaustoronto.com). \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, the local music community is in a venue crisis as a consequence of this and other gentrification techniques. So what might the latent radicality of the Bauhaus\, and subsequent 20th century collectivist movements\, tell us about art and “public space”today? \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin artist and dramaturge Christopher Willes for a presentation and discussion of his recent work as part of the Toronto-based artist collective Public Recordings. Christopher will speak about a project that convened an amateur orchestra to stage music by radical composer Pauline Oliveros in the Council Chambers of Toronto City Hall; and his curatorial work presenting experimental music in the Toronto Public Library system. \n\n\n\n\n\nChristopher Willes is an interdisciplinary artist\, composer/musician\, dramaturge and facilitator based in both Tkarón:to/Toronto and Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. His practice moves between experimental music\, performance\, and visual art forms–with a particular interest in music/sound\, listening\, and collective practices. He is an associate-artist with the Toronto based collective Public Recordings\, and regularly works as a sound-maker and dramaturge within contemporary dance. He studied music at the University of Toronto and received an MFA from Bard College (NY\, USA). \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be immediately followed by THE POWER OF THE SPILL\, a performance by Csenge Kolozsvari and Rodrigo Velsaco. \n\n\n\nThis event is presented as part of the milieuXbauhaus Festival and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Run-of-the-mill: A textiles workshop
DESCRIPTION:Through their experimental and collaborative approach to art-making\, the weavers of the Bauhaus transformed both the future of textiles and of abstract art. \n\n\n\nIn this two-hour workshop\, participants will have the opportunity to design and embroider their own 5″ x 5″ continuous line drawings and simple shapes using the digital thread placement machine in the Textiles and Materiality Cluster.  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nParticipants will not only be able to bring their samples home with them\, but in the spirit of the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop\, these designs will also be stitched and assembled into a collaborative textile for display at the milieuXbauhaus closing event. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThis event is presented by the milieuXbauhaus Festival and is open to the public!

SUMMARY:Algorithmic Warfare as an Apparatus of Recognition: Talk by Lucy Suchman
DESCRIPTION:In June of 2018\, following a campaign initiated by activist employees within the company\, Google announced its intention not to renew a US Defense Department contract for Project Maven\, an initiative to automate the identification of military targets based on drone video footage. \n\n\n\nDefendants of the program argued that that it would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of US drone operations\, not least by enabling more accurate recognition of those who are the program’s legitimate targets and\, by implication\, sparing the lives of noncombatants. But this promise begs a more fundamental question: What relations of reciprocal familiarity does recognition presuppose? And in the absence of those relations\, what schemas of categorization inform our readings of the Other? \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Machine Agencies group.

SUMMARY:MilieuxMake Workshop: Experimenting with Robotic Softness
DESCRIPTION:Led by Sam Bourgault and Emma Forgues \n\n\n\nDuring this workshop\, we will introduce the concepts of soft robotics and learn to cast silicone pieces to create a collaborative art piece! Every participant will build a small soft robot that we will then put together to create a larger soft robotics “quilt”! \n\n\n\nSoft Robotics is a subfield of robotics whereby robots are constructed from soft\, flexible materials to mimic the soft fleshiness of living organisms and are ‘programmed’ to mimic the motions of living creatures. \n\n\n\n\n\nDigging in various fields that range from art history to engineering\, the not-so-simple concept of softness has generated an impressive amount of literature and experimentations. Softness as a technical principle has been used by architects\, sculptors\, scientists\, engineers\, and roboticists in order to explore new aesthetic and behavioral models. \n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing an introduction to soft robotics concepts and methods\, we will discuss conceptual approaches to softness in art and architecture\, followed by a quick overview of our project “Pero sans Cimon”. \n\n\n\nWe will then workshop together to create several small pieces by reconfiguring moulds\, casting components in silicone and then test-running our creations using a common compressed air system. \n\n\n\n*This workshop has no pre-requisite skill set and is open to all Milieux Research clusters. \n\n\n\n** Email: marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca to register for this workshop\, including ‘Soft Robotics’ in the subject line. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHEN: Tuesday October 29\, from 1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWednesday October 30th\, 2019 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Port of Santo Domingo: Tidal Debris\, Metal Pollution\, and the Perils of Where the Caribbean Meets the Ozama
DESCRIPTION:A Keynote for the ECOTONES Conference by Dr. Lisa Paravisini-Gebert\, Vassar College\, USA\n\n\n\nOf all Caribbean port cities\, Santo Domingo is perhaps the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Its port\, the site of the New World’s first European capital\, is formed by the broad mouth of the Ozama\, a tidal river subject to frequent flooding and coastal erosion from storm surges growing ever stronger due to climate change. The city’s poorest\, most marginalized populations\, about 400\,000 people pushed by rapid urbanization to the most vulnerable riverside land\, live in substandard housing in overcrowded neighborhoods like La Ciénaga\, La Barquita\, and Guachupita\, precariously built just above port facilities undergoing deep transformations to allow for cruise-ship docking. Persistent flooding threatens lives and property and brings residents into dangerous contact with the rivers’ highly polluted waters\, bearing harmful bacteria and toxic concentrations of metals like thallium. \n\n\n\nThe Dominican poor living along the Ozama are—the World Bank has concluded—among the world’s most at risk of being affected by climate change. Highly threatened by rising sea levels and expected to undergo far-reaching transformations by 2050 due to climate change\, the quandaries of the port of Santo Domingo can serve as a point of entry into the limits of environmental equality under current regional legislation and market forces—and can highlight the role of writers\, artists and scholars in addressing climate change and environmental justice concerns that have often been ignored or neglected by government.  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThis analysis\, which builds upon Bernardo Vega’s 2011 history\, Me lo contó el Ozama (As the Ozama Told Me\, Santo Domingo: Fundación AES\, 2011)\, uses a multidisciplinary lens that incorporates science\, sociology\, anthropology\, political ecology\, cultural geography\, literature\, and the arts to examine the environmental quandary of the extremely vulnerable population of a port area confronting the impacts of climate change in the 21st century. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThis event will take place from 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. at the Milieux Institute\, EV Building 11th floor\, room 11.455

SUMMARY:Cruise Ships and Containers: Towards a Literary Geography of the Caribbean Port
DESCRIPTION:ECOTONES Conference Keynote Address by Dr. Patricia Noxolo\, University of Birmingham\, UK\n\n\n\nIn this Keynote\, Dr. Patricia Noxolo takes concepts from two aspects of geographical work – tourism and transport geographies – and applies them to a range of Caribbean literature.  The goal is not simply to appreciate whether and how concepts such as capacity and captive demand\, transshipment\, hubs\, gateways and feeders appear in and elucidate the presence (and absence) of ports in Caribbean literary works\, but also to explore how such concepts might be deployed to deepen understanding of the spatialities\, openings and connections within and between Caribbean literary works.  Ultimately the paper pushes towards a refreshing of the genre of the literary geography\, by harnessing it to more insistently to materially-focused aspects of geographical work. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThis keynote will take place from 9:45-10:45 a.m. at the Milieux Institute\, EV Building 11th floor\, Room 11.455

SUMMARY:Cloning Plants: An Introduction to Micro-Propagation
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop Biologist & Artist Nathalie Dubois-Calero will be teaching DIY methods she developed for the micro-propagation of plants and vegetables from infertile or ‘protected’ samples. By controlling hormone levels during the propagation\, we will also be able to affect the growth patterns of the plants\, allowing for the creation of unusual plant morphologies.Her processes will allow the individual to create their own menagerie of plants from ‘protected’ samples and samples rendered infertile through specific breeding or genetic modification and regain some space in a field where we are only allowed to be a passive consumer.Though we will be working in the sterile lab environment\, these techniques can be employed outside the lab using relatively common kitchen equipment in the home. The hope is to bring these skill-sets out of the lab environment and into the hands of everyone\, provoking discussions regarding genetic-modification\, gene-copyright and corporate control of our food sources. *This workshop has no pre-requisite skill set and is open to all Milieux Research clusters. \n\n\n\n** Please email: marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca to register for this workshop\, including ‘Cloning Plants’ in the subject line.

SUMMARY:Supercut Politics: Movie Trailers as Templates for Political Advertising
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Vinzenz Hediger\, Professor\, Goethe University\, Frankfurt\, Germany\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nAcross the political spectrum and ranging from professionally produced campaign ads to grass-roots style activist videos\, the movie trailer has become a template for political advertising. Based on an historical analysis of movie trailers\, this presentation will discuss a number of current examples of political ads using the trailer template. The presentation will raise questions about the cultural salience of the trailer format and address what we may call its bi-partisan political affordances. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Vinzenz Hediger\n\n\n\nVinzenz Hediger is professor of Cinema Studies at Goethe Universität Frankfurt\, where he directs the Graduiertenkolleg/Graduate Research Training Program Configurations of Film. His publications include Films That Work. Industrial Cinema and the Productivity of Media (with Patrick Vomderau\, Amsterdam UP 2009)\, Nostalgia for the Coming Attraction. American Movie Trailers and the Culture of FilmConsumption (Columbia University Press\, forthcoming) and Films That Work Harder. The Circulations of Industrial Cinema (with Florian Hoof and Yvonne Zimmermann\, forthcoming from Amsterdam UP). He is a co-founder of NECS – European Network of Cinema and Media Studies (www.necs.org)\, a Principal Investigator at the Cluster of Excellence The Formation of Normative Orders and a member of the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature. \n\n\n\nThis talk is organized in conjunction with the Media History Research Centre\, and in dialogue with the symposium Playback: Genealogies of Interactivity.

SUMMARY:Playback: Genealogies of Interactivity Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Use\, re-use\, engagement\, creation\, distraction\, immersion\, seduction\, play\, critique—media and culture consist of practices that shape experience\, meaning\, and communities. The basic dynamism of media present and past\, though\, is not always accommodated in our critical\, theoretical\, and scholarly approaches. We need critical explorations that recognize and assess media and their full cultural complexities in history and across contexts. This includes examinations of both minor and major media forms and formats\, and their specific iterations and uses as content\, event\, institution and apparatus. \n\n\n\nThis symposium brings scholars from Concordia University together with students and faculty from the Institute for Theatre\, Film\, and Media Studies at Goethe University (Frankfurt\, Germany) to explore the complexities of our media and cultural histories. \n\n\n\nSymposium Hosts: \n\n\n\nCommunication Studies\, Faculty of Arts and ScienceFilm Studies\, Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema\, Faculty of Fine Arts \n\n\n\nIn association with the Media History Research Centre\, Concordia University and Graduiertenkolleg “Configurations of Film\,” Goethe University \n\n\n\nFor more information on the symposium\, presenters\, and schedule\, please visit our event page at: http://www.concordia.ca/events/genealogies-of-interactivity.html

SUMMARY:Symposium: Liveness at Play!
DESCRIPTION:A discussion of…\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nWhat is liveness? \n\n\n\nHow do we do liveness? \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the weeklong planning session for the new SSHRC project “Scaling Liveness in Participatory Experiences” which looks at “liveness” across three different but neighboring practices: participatory theatre\, larps (live action role playing games) and digital-physical games. \n\n\n\nLynn Hughes and Bart Simon\, co-founders of TAG\, head up the project with their Concordia collaborator\, Noah Drew (Theatre) along with the main PhD researcher on the project\, JoDee Allen. The international collaborators will be here for the week: Jorge Ramos (ZU Theatre\, London) and Jaakko Sternos (University of Tampere\, Finland). In addition\, for this event\, two special invited guests\, Lawrence Switsky (Theatre\, University of Toronto) and Matteo Uguzzoni (Game Design\, Maryland Institute of Art) will join us.  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants \n\n\n\nJoDee Allen is currently pursuing a research/creation PhD in Interdisciplinary Humanities at Concordia University. Her research\, which looks at videogame control schemes as choreography\, has been presented and performed internationally at conferences and industry events\, including producing an exhibition entitled the Digital Dance Arcade\, in the Santa Monica Art Centre in Barcelona; and being awarded an Artist-in-Residence position at the Flux Laboratories in Geneva\, testing the impact that interface and notation have on players’ learning dance through videogames. \n\n\n\n\n\nNoah Drew is an “all-terrain theatre artist” originally from Vancouver. He has worked across North America\, and in Europe and South America\, as an actor\, composer\, sound designer\, writer/director/dramaturge and teacher.Noah’s research and research-creation focuses on exploring strategies for cultivating and catalyzing heightened states of presence in performers and audiences. Noah’s work draws on aspects of sensory immersion and sensory dramaturgy; (auto)ethnography and a dynamic interplay between true lived experiences and fiction; gamified theatre\, and somatic practices. \n\n\n\n\n\nLynn Hughes is Professor Emeritus in Studio Arts at Concordia University\, where she held the Chair of Interaction Design and Games Innovation from 2004 to 2018. Between 2000 and 2015\, she was instrumental in the founding of three major research centres that radically changed the context for interdisciplinary training in new media art/design and games in Montreal. Her production focuses on collaborative process and the design of ludic hybrid physical/digital experiences. She has exhibited work all over the world and was just awarded the Omosiroi Prize in Japan. \n\n\n\n\n\nJorge Lopez Ramos and Persis-Jadeé Maravala are the directors of the ZU- UK interactive performance company: a highly respected theatre company with years of experience conceiving and realizing ambitious participatory theatre pieces at different scales. ZU-UK sometimes uses technology (e.g binaural sound or VR) to augment the intensity of a dramatic situation\, but is still seeking ways to reduce the burden on actors’ bodies\, through different ways of using technology. They want to produce experiences for large numbers of participants by developing new approaches that make this feasible and sustainable.  \n\n\n\n\n\nBart Simon is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology\, Concordia University. Simon is a sociologist specializing in digital culture and game studies and is the current Director of the Milieux Institute for Arts\, Culture and Technology. He has written extensively on social interaction in digital games and play with previous SSHRC funded projects on the role-play cultures of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (like World of Warcraft)\, gestural and embodied games (focused on the Nintendo Wii \n\n\n\n\n\nJaakko Stenros from the Tampere University\, Finland\, teaches Game Studies at the Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies at Tampere. He has published eight books and over 50 articles and reports\, and received many awards. He has done extensive research on larps and the aesthetics of social play\, often with a focus on unusual games\, game jams\, queer play\, role-playing games and pervasive games. He has worked with experimental theatre companies and is world-expert on how Larping communities develop and self-structure. \n\n\n\n\n\nLawrence Switzky is an Associate Professor of English and Drama at the University of Toronto. He is the incoming editor of the journal Modern Drama and has books forthcoming on Shakespeare and the non-human and on theatre directing and modernist aesthetics as well as a volume of Bernard Shaw’s plays from Oxford World’s Classics. His current research is on the entanglement of modern theatre and performance and the early development of artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\n\n\nMatteo Uguzzoni is an architect and a game designer\, his practice focus on creating transformative experience blending real life game and theater. He co-founded Urban Games Factory an Italian collective active in different forms since 2009. He is the host of The Playcast \,a podcast about immersive theater\, real life games and everything in between. He is currently teaching at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art\, Baltimore) and director of the Nomadic Branch of Trust in Play – the European School of Urban Game Design.

SUMMARY:Cyborgs of the Web: An introduction to 3D modeling with Blender
DESCRIPTION:“A cyborg is a cybernetic organism\, a hybrid of machine and organism\, a creature of social reality as wel las a creature of fiction.” \n\n\n\n-Donna Haraway\, “A Cyborg Manifesto: Science\, Technology\, and Socialist-.Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century” \n\n\n\nIn her landmark essay\, “A Cyborg Manifesto”\, Donna Haraway speaks of the cyborg as a being that breaks down the boundaries between human and animal\, animal/human and machine\, and physical and non-physical. For Haraway\, the cyborg is our contemporary state of being and our politics. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants are invited to consider how the metaphor of the cyborg enriches our discussions of virtuality and embodiment. \n\n\n\nThis three-hour workshop will provide an introduction to Blender: a professional\, open-source software for 3D modelling\, rendering\, and animation. Using Blender\, participants will have the opportunity to create their own cyborgian entity using models from the Thingiverse. A brief \n\n\n\ndiscussion of Blender materials\, lighting systems\, and image rendering will be also provided. \n\n\n\nNote: Blender is an open-source software compatible with Mac\, Linux\, and PC computers. \n\n\n\nEach participant should bring a laptop with the latest version (2.8) of the software installed as well as a mouse with a scroll wheel (some mice will be available to borrow for the workshop). \n\n\n\n*This workshop has no pre-requisite skill set and is open to all Milieux Research clusters. \n\n\n\n** Please email: marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca to register for this workshop\, including ‘Cyborgs of the Web’ in the subject line.

SUMMARY:Black Room / HTMLelles vernissage
DESCRIPTION:AS PART OF THE HTMLLES FESTIVAL\, TAG PRESENTS BLACK ROOM\, A WEB-BROWSER-BASED NARRATIVE GAME BY CASSIE MCQUATER.\n\n\n\nIn Black Room\, you play as an insomniac on the verge of sleep\, moving through shifting states of consciousness. Hallucinatory\, pixelated visions of landscapes filled with characters from the games of your childhood appear as you click through fragile internet spaces. Often interrupted\, you continually return to the Black Room\, a meditation technique your mother taught you for falling asleep\, visualizing black flowers in a black vase on a black table in the center of a black room. \n\n\n\nConceived as a feminist dungeon crawler\, this game features a majority female cast of video game sprites from the 1970s-current day. This work seeks to bring these characters together to form new narratives: Chun Li reposes in a desert oasis filled with flamingos; Catwoman cartwheels across the nighttime beaches of Coney Island; Jennifer Simpson\, the lead character from Clock Tower\, runs endlessly through the brightly pixelated fantasy landscapes of the Oregon Trail. \n\n\n\nAfter the vernissage\, Black Room will on display from November 5 to 9th in the Milieux Nerve Centre (EV11.455) \n\n\n\nThis event is presented as part of the HTMlles Festival\, a feminist festival in media arts and digital culture produced by Studio XX.
