SUMMARY:Playing with AI Ethics: Networking\, Directions\, Ideas\, and Approaches
DESCRIPTION:How do we ethically engage with AI? \nJoin Scott DeJong and Dr. Ann-Louise Davidson in 4th Space on February 6 (12pm – 3pm) and February 16 (2pm – 5pm) for a networking event series that explores this question. \nFrom policies to personal preferences\, we have seen AI take hold in the lives of educators and their students\, with varying support systems to deal with it.

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: 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: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:Mime as Non-Verbal Communication
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop on Tuesday\, February 27th\, with LePARC’s Sue Proctor to explore mime as non-verbal communication. \nFrom basic physical techniques to emotional expression\, we will play with concepts of body awareness\, self-expression and clown communication. Through fun and laughter\, movement and use of sound\, we will explore a vocabulary for non-verbal relationships and performance. \nPeople of all levels of movement or performance experience are welcome. Please wear clothes that are comfortable to move in. \nSue Proctor has been clowning\, performing and teaching in the arts for over thirty years. Creator of six original Fringe theatre shows\, Sue was a founding member of the Canadian Association of Therapeutic Clowns and uses clowning to inform her work as a dramaturg\, and in teaching drama to all ages and abilities. Sue is Co-Director of the ‘Arts Inclusion Network’ in Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, Canada. \nHer Master’s thesis\, “The Archetypal Role of the Clown as a Catalyst for Individual and Societal Transformation\,” can be found online. \nTo register for the workshop\, click here.
