SUMMARY:De-Re-coding International Law Through Art
DESCRIPTION:Online Presentation/Discussion with LePARC member Oonagh Fitzgerald \n\n\n\nThis LePARC presentation and discussion via Zoom will address the challenges in crafting research-creation that critiques existing international law and governance through art and performance while generating new insights about how we decode meaning and recode identity\, solidarity\, resistance\, and resilience in the face of global crises. \n\n\n\nOonagh will share a transdisciplinary approach in which she considers philosophical frameworks (e.g.\, postmodernism\, posthumanism\, colonial legacy\, gender\, new materialism\, speculation)\, methodologies (e.g.\, research-creation\, autoethnography\, case study\, artivism) and examples of artworks that seek to instigate the development of individual\, community\, and planetary codes of values designed to overcome the multiple crises of the Anthropocene. \n\n\n\nClick the Register link to the left to RSVP for the event; you will then be sent the Zoom link before the presentation itself! \n\n\n\nOonagh Fitzgerald B.F.A. (Hon.)\, LL.B.\, LL.M.\, S.J.D.\, M.B.A.\, is an INDI PhD in Fine Arts student at Concordia University\, under the supervision of Professor Eldad Tsabary and a member of LePARC. She brings to her performance and visual research-creation artworks experience as dancer\, choreographer\, and visual artist; senior executive and international lawyer in the federal government; university sessional lecturer; and director of international law research at a think tank. Enthusiastic about exploring international law\, art\, and governance\, Oonagh has interviewed for national and international news media\, written and edited books\, essay series and articles\, and spoken publicly on topics including research-creation and participant-based art projects\, corporate citizenship\, gender equality\, Indigenous people’s rights\, climate change and technological innovation. She is a Senior Fellow at Human Rights Research and Education Centre\, Co-chair of the Canadian Environmental Domestic Advisory Group\, and a Director of International Law Association of Canada.

SUMMARY:VR Prototype Testing Session
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nJoin the Milieux cross-cluster Immersive Reality Lab for a VR Prototype Testing of the latest interactive project by Argentinian artist and university researcher Yessica Duarte. The workshop will take place IN PERSON at the Immersive Reality Lab 10.705\, on FRIDAY\, November 12th\, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. \n\n\n\nPlease email Marco Luna directly at vr.milieux@concordia.ca to book a time slot! \n\n\n\nYessica Duarte is a Masters Student in Technology and Aesthetic of Electronics Arts at the University of Tres de Febrero\, Argentina. Her research in VR explores medium impacts on perception\, proprio-perception and learning\, based on the theories of embodied cognition and the concept of enactive learning.. She is developing immersive environments of hyper-realism with a prototype able to recreate an interactive and immersive embodiment experience. It uses biofeedback sensors as wearable interfaces. The sensors are controlled by Arduino and send data to Unity through bluetooth. Yessica made a breathing sensor with a resistive wool elastic belt\, and a pulse sensor with an oximeter. It is a receiver and emitter of infrared light that measures the amount of oxygen in the blood.

SUMMARY:Hypo//Hyper Presence Workshop N˚ 1: Filters\, with Marie LeBlanc Flanagan
DESCRIPTION:With Filters\, Marie LeBlanc Flanagan will be teaching you the ropes on how to apply\, modify and have fun with filters! \n\n\n\nPART 1: Creating Filters (1HR) \n\n\n\nInstagram\, TikTok and Snapchat filters are sites of debate around how we present ourselves digitally. This workshop invites participants to create basic instagram filters and explore possibilities of this medium\, with no experience needed.  \n\n\n\nPART 2: Exploring Filters (1HR) \n\n\n\nThe second segment\, participants will learn how to create advanced filters\, remix existing filters\, and create unique interactions. They will create their own filters by the end of this workshop.  \n\n\n\nMarie LeBlanc Flanagan is an artist working in the playful spaces between people\, especially related to connection and community. Marie builds experimental video games\, playful installations\, and cooperative experiences with a diverse variety of technologies including virtual and augmented realities\, open-source data\, biosignals\, olfactory art\, sonic art\, computer vision\, and machine learning. Marie has spoken\, shared work\, and taught workshops in South America\, North America\, Africa\, and Europe. Marie has completed artist residencies at the NYU Game Center\, with SoftieFeelies\, and at LiveLab. \n\n\n\nMarie is on the board of Inter Arts Matrix\, is on the Eastern Bloc artistic programming committee; and is a Polaris Prize Juror. Marie co-organized GAIA\, a 9-session online conference for 150+ game curators around the world. Marie has done consulting work with a number of artists and arts organizations including A MAZE. Berlin International Games and Playful Media Festival\, The School of Machines\, Making\, and Make-Believe\, Genielab\, Daily Tous Les Jours\, Ada X\, and Long Winter.  \n\n\n\nMarie co-founded the Imaginary Residency\, an artist-run online residency. Marie founded Wyrd Arts Initiatives a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to encouraging\, documenting\, and connecting creative expression across Canada; served as the Editor in Chief of Weird Canada and founded Drone Day an international day for the celebration of experimental drone music and communities. \n\n\n\nHypo//Hyper Presence is a workshop series over the period of two semesters with guest lecturers that’s designed to give people skills to explore and create around the idea of telepresence. These technologies have been accelerated with COVID and increased hybrid interactions. Telepresence technologies can be perceived as “hyper” or “hypo” present\, either always there to mediate communication or minimally present to facilitate asynchronous interaction. Now that the dust has settled around which technologies will prevail\, this workshop series allows participants to explore these technologies tangibly.  \n\n\n\nEach session is divided into two parts\, an introduction and an advanced learning session. People can sign up for one or both sessions depending on their level /interest. All sessions will be remote\, except when specified.

SUMMARY:Decoding and Reimagining Posthuman Identity Exhibition by Oonagh Fitzgerald
DESCRIPTION:A mixed media art exhibition and social engagement\, prepared by Oonagh E. Fitzgerald and presented by LePARC\, from November 29th to December 3rdGALLERY HOURS: 12:00 PM to 6:00 PMFINISSAGE: December 3rd\, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM \n\n\n\nThrough participatory mixed media art projects\, Oonagh explores the material relations between international law\, art and governance. With found wood and bark\, plastic waste\, wood and fabric scraps\, string and thread\, paper and prefabricated masks\, clay\, water- and oil-based paints\, Oonagh investigates posthuman identity and imagination in times of global environmental\, health\, social\, economic\, political\, and technological crisis.   \n\n\n\nMaking\, performing\, and engaging in complex and elaborate human-material-technological assemblages\, Oonagh seeks to connect materials and people and generate new insights and inspiration for tackling global problems and contributing to a more sustainable\, equitable and just posthuman era. \n\n\n\nThis transdisciplinary research practice builds on philosophical frameworks (postmodernism\, posthumanism\, new materialism\, speculative futures\, and colonial legacy\, gender\, and critical legal studies)\, and methodologies of research-creation\, autoethnography\, case study\, and socially engaged art. The projects seek to decode meaning and reimagine identity\, solidarity\, resistance\, and resilience in the face of the multiple crises of the Anthropocene. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to come to enjoy the exhibit and contribute to decoding and recoding posthuman meanings\, values\, and identities. \n\n\n\nOonagh Fitzgerald  B.F.A. (Hon.)\, LL.B.\, LL.M.\, S.J.D.\, M.B.A.\, is an INDI PhD in Fine Arts student at Concordia University\, under the supervision of Professor Eldad Tsabary and a member of LePARC. She brings to her performance and visual research-creation artworks her experience as dancer\, choreographer and visual artist; senior executive and international lawyer in the federal government; university sessional lecturer; and director of international law research at a think tank. \n\n\n\nEnthusiastic about exploring international law\, art\, and governance\, Oonagh has interviewed for national and international news media\, written and edited books\, essay series and articles\, and spoken publicly on topics including research-creation and participant-based art projects\, corporate citizenship\, gender equality\, Indigenous people’s rights\, climate change and technological innovation.  \n\n\n\nShe is a Senior Fellow at the Human Rights Research and Education Centre\, co-chair of the Canadian Environmental Domestic Advisory Group\, and a director of the International Law Association of Canada.
