SUMMARY:Inertia: Speculative Fossils Exhibition
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nFrom April 22 to June 13\, 2022Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan de Montréal4801 Pierre-De Coubertin Avenue \n\n\n\nGuillaume Pascale and the research group led by Alice Jarry (Concordia University): Brice Ammar-Khodja\, Jacqueline Beaumont\, Asa Perlman and Philippe Vandal\, in collaboration with Ariane Plante. With the participation of Jean Dubois (UQAM). \n\n\n\nA speculative work that crosses the disappearance of the Earth in the eye of the Voyager probes with the atmospheric and ecological situation in the east of Montreal. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n1977. The two Voyager probes are launched into space to study the planets in our Solar System. Symbolically\, each one carries a gold-plated copper disk bearing a message intended to represent humanity. It contains images\, music and drawings meant for a hypothetical intelligent extra-terrestrial life form. \n\n\n\nInertia revisits this approach on Earth using artifacts created to reflect today’s environmental challenges — they’re made of biomaterials\, that is\, renewable organic plant or animal matter. The work centres around a bioplastic disk that displays a binary representation of a daytime air quality status near petrochemical plants east of Montreal. This becomes the score for the first piece of music in a sequence of four composed using these data as well as the calculated distance of the Voyager probes from our planet. A series of laser-engraved biomaterial membranes and a film bear witness to this process\, which suggests that in the same way that Earth is disappearing from the eye of the Voyager probes\, the living conditions of the planet’s inhabitants are becoming increasingly precarious. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nApril 22\, 2022\, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PMDebris\, space\, and meaning around the exhibition ‘Inertia: Speculative Fossils’ — The waste cycle of planetary vision infrastructuresDemos + Round Table \n\n\n\nAs Voyager’s scientific instruments are gradually being shut down due to a lack of available electrical energy\, this public activity organized within the context of Earth Day 2022 proposes\, from a vertical perspective\, to compare the issues related to space debris with those generated by our ways of life on Earth. Drawing on engagement in their practice with residual\, geo-inspired\, reactive\, intelligent or sustainable materials\, the invited artists\, designers\, media theorists and scientists will take an interdisciplinary look at how these artifacts allow us to envision new scenarios and relationships for the waste – material and technological – produced on Earth\, but also left adrift in space. \n\n\n\nThe event is free and will be hosted in both French and English. \n\n\n\nDemos 1:00 PM to 2:30 PMRound Table 2:30 PM to 4:00 PMFor participants\, please consult the Planétarium’s website here. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nApril 28\, 2022\, 6 PMInertia Exhibition Vernissage + Performance \n\n\n\nGuillaume Pascale will offer a sound performance\, improvising in real-time with the distance between the Voyager probes and the Earth. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Hype\, Hyper or Over-Hyped: a Student Symposium on Critical AI Studies in Canada
DESCRIPTION:A Student Symposium on Critical AI Studies in CanadaHosted by Machines Agencies of Speculative Life \n\n\n\nJune 16 from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM and June 17 from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PMOnline and In Person at Milieux Institute EV Building\, 1515 Saint-Catherine St W \n\n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite to Participate \n\n\n\nAbout UsWe are excited about using this event to build community and care across the student of AI in Canada. Our objective is to accept all submissions and develop a form that ensures fair\, supportive participation. We encourage work-in-progress\, research at all levels\, and all stages. As host\, we will share guidelines for moderation before the event and facilitate constructive discussion. The world can feel a little stressful and we hope this conference might be something different. \n\n\n\nWe Are Guided by a Desire To: \n\n\n\n\nconvene critical researchers studying in Canada;\nsupport graduate research in-progress and imperfect; and\ndevelop a community of care and support for this research.\n\n\n\n\nWe are committed to equity\, humility\, and good relations in our research and among each other. \n\n\n\nDownload the tentative schedule (PDF) \n\n\n\nEthos \n\n\n\nWe are only a few organizers with no professional support. Please mindful of the gendered division of labor. When you arrive at the symposium\, ask how you can help. Take initiatives that benefit the community of critical AI researchers we are creating.  \n\n\n\nBe mindful of and reflexive of your own behavior. Support others to accomplish their full potential\, don’t dominate the conversation and don’t interrupt others.   \n\n\n\nWe encourage all to engage with and uplift the scholarship and voices of Black\, Indigenous\, Global South and other equity deserving groups. AI remains a white EurAmerican male ethnocentric field of research which needs to be enriched and troubled.   \n\n\n\nDuring the period of the conference\, we have appointed “Angels”consisting of two individuals who serve as contact persons for the purpose of receiving and addressing confidentiality issues that might arise at the conference. We are committed to feminist\, anti-racist and intersectional values in both the content of our research and the way we enteract with each other.  \n\n\n\nModeration Guidelines During the conference\, we will use the progressive stack to solicit comments and feedback after each presentation. Moderators will maintain a speakers queue\, giving priority to new and marginalized voices.

SUMMARY:Applications for the 2022 Summer Writing Residency are open!
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nSummer is a time for writing for many of us\, but not everyone has an easy time finding a stable functional space where they can concentrate. Some write at home\, at cafés\, in the library or in other workspaces but we want to try (again!) something else: a graduate writing residency at Milieux! \n\n\n\nThis summer\, starting June 20th\, we are once again reconfiguring the Milieux Atelier space as a writer’s space specifically designed for students requiring a stable\, quiet and convivial space to write. Upon admission to the program for the summer\, you will have a desk space in a beautiful and bright air conditioned room\, access to the kitchen and other Milieux facilities\, and the support of peers. \n\n\n\nThe only requirements are that you be a Milieux graduate student member writing for a thesis or comprehensive exams\, you can commit to using your desk for at least 3 days a week and you help to keep the space (and kitchen) clean and tidy. Some desk sharing may be required but you will be able to leave books and other materials. The program will run from June 20th through Sept 2nd and all interested applicants should contact Marc Beaulieu at marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca. In your application email\, specify what degree program you are in\, what year of the program\, the kind of writing you will be doing (thesis\, exam\, other)\, any pertinent deadlines for the writing\, and your projected time commitment for using the space (let us know as much as possible what your schedule is\, any vacations and so on\, so we can maximize the use of the space). There are a limited number of desk spaces so we cannot promise to give everyone a spot but we will do our best to accommodate as many students as possible. Application remains open as long as there are unfilled desk spaces!
