SUMMARY:Materialist Ecomodding and Picopower Logics: The Case of SunBlock One\, a solar Minecraft server
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging presentation of the SunBlock One solar Minecraft server project\, part of the Pico Power residency with TeZ. \nBart Simon\, Director of Milieux Institute will share with us the research-creation journey of the SunBlock project. This innovative project tackles two crucial challenges in energy transition research: \n\nThe significant contribution of personal computing and especially gaming to the global carbon footprint.\nThe role of popular and moddable sandbox games in fostering shared alternative energy imaginaries.\n\nWHAT IS SUNBLOCK ONE? \nSunBlock One operates on a special setup with solar panels and batteries. It’s a Forge-modded Minecraft 1.20.2 Server running on an Intel NUC computer powered by a 12v LiON battery connected to a 100W solar panel. Players can monitor their energy consumption in real-time while playing! \nThe talk will present various stages of the project\, showcasing the work that has been accomplished and discussing how the project might progress over the summer. \nBart will also introduce the idea of picopower logic\, a simple yet powerful approach to utilize energy on small\, local scale to combat climate change. \n  \n: April 9\, 2024 | 2 p.m \n: TAG Lab E.V 11.435 \nALL ARE WELCOME!

SUMMARY:The Hologram: Towards an Anti-capitalist Care Practice
DESCRIPTION:On April 9th\, Machine Agencies of Speculative Life Cluster is hosting a 4-hour hands-on workshop on The Hologram\, a viral distribution system for non-expert healthcare\, led by Cassie Thornton. \n  \nWHAT IS THE HOLOGRAM? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Hologram serves as a mythoreal viral distribution system for accessible healthcare\, operating across the globe. Its concept is straightforward: 3 individuals\, known as the ‘Triangle\,’ convene regularly\, either online or in person\, to prioritize the physical\, mental\, and social well-being of a fourth person\, referred to as the ‘Hologram.’ In turn\, the Hologram imparts knowledge on both offering and receiving care to these participants. As they become proficient\, the Hologram guides them in establishing their own triads\, thereby perpetuating the system’s growth. \nThis social innovation draws inspiration from the experimental care models pioneered in the Social Solidarity Clinics in Greece during the peak of the financial and migration crises. The outcome of  The Hologram process is the establishment of a resilient multidimensional health network\, community-focused social rituals\, and a sense of trust capable of enduring beyond the era of capitalism. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:  \nThis workshop introduces “incomers” to The Hologram practice with an introduction to its history and underlying principles\, along with a chance to actively engage in its methods. Originating from moments of crisis and designed for navigating them\, The Hologram combines personal reflection\, collective action\, and anti-capitalist strategies. The workshop consists of one-third presentation and two-thirds interactive participation led by two facilitators\, supplemented by experienced practitioners as necessary. Participants can expect support\, stimulating challenges\, and an invitation to join the broader global community of Hologram practitioners! \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: \nCassie Thornton (b. 1981 US) is an artist and activist who makes a “safe space” for the unknown\, for disobedience\, and for unanticipated collectivity. She uses social practices including institutional critique\, insurgent architecture\, and “healing modalities” like hypnosis and yoga to find soft spots in the hard surfaces of capitalist life. She is currently the co-director of the Re-Imagining Value Action Lab in Thunder Bay\, an art and social centre at Lakehead University in Ontario\, Canada. \n  \n  \n  \n: April 9\, 2024 | 2-6 p.m \n: Speculative Life Research Cluster E.V 10.625 \n🔗: Make sure to register HERE as there are only 16 spots available!

SUMMARY:A Montreal Game Studies Conversation with Dr. Carl Therrien and Dr. Darren Wershler
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 12th\, TAG Research Cluster is organizing an engaging and candid conversation on game history and immersion within the context of Montreal Game Studies\, featuring Dr. Carl Therrien from Université de Montréal and Dr. Darren Wershler from Concordia University. This open and freeform discussion will delve into unconventional and exploratory approaches to researching and understanding video game history and immersion. Through these discussions\, reflections on the influence of the Montreal game research scene on work and within the broader field of game studies and associated fields will be explored\, examining the challenges and opportunities of past and future collaborations between local research groups in Montreal\, across linguistic\, institutional\, and cultural boundaries. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS:  \n \nCarl Therrien is a professor in games and film studies at the Université de Montréal. In The Media Snatcher (Platform studies\, MIT Press\, 2019)\, he proposes a critical view of videogame historiography through a comparative study of the PC Engine platform\, confronting American and Japanese perspectives of this technology. He has written numerous papers on immersion and on the history of popular genres (such as adventure games and first-person shooters). His research projects seek to integrate more video games into the canon\, hoping to assist archivists and historians in their efforts to engage with the diversity and complexity of this culture. \n  \n  \n  \nDarren Wershler specializes in media history and media archaeology\, with a particular interest in the material culture of analog and early digital technologies. His current research occurs at the Residual Media Depot (RMD)\, a research and teaching collection associated with the Media History Research Centre (MHRC) in the Milieux Institute at Concordia University. With Jussi Parikka and Lori Emerson\, he is the author of THE LAB BOOK: SITUATED PRACTICES IN MEDIA STUDIES (2021). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n: April 12\, 2024 | 11 a.m \n: TAG Lab E.V 11.435 \n

SUMMARY:Performance as research - A conversation with André Lepecki and Lília Mestre
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 12th\, 2024\, from 5-7 PM\, at the Speculative Life Cluster (EV 10.625)\, for conversation between Lília Mestre and André Lepecki hosted by LePARC. \nABOUT THE TALK: \nThis conversation will focus on the relationships between performance practice and academic research. Participants will be invited to discuss how performance-based actions shape alternative academic processes and outcomes\, offering insights into envisioning and crafting sustainable futures. \nProposed questions include: What is the range of practices and strategies that challenge prevalent norms of how artists and academics approach research? How do these other strategies relate to issues of collectivity\, embodiment\, and process? What kinds of practices of co-imagination are resisting authorial individuality as privileged figure of knowledge in the humanities and the arts? And how can performance as practice of research generate anticolonial\, inclusive\, multiverse\, and unpredictable material and immaterial manifestations of relationality? \nThe conversation will be based on an example of performance to encourage interactions. Participants are invited to read two texts prior the event to have a common departure point. \n\n📖 Chapman\, Owen and Kim Sawchuk. 2012. “Research-Creation: Intervention\, Analysis and “Family Resemblances”” Canadian Journal of Communication 37: 5-26 \n\n\n\n📖 Desideri\, Valentina\, and Denise Ferreira da Silva. 2022. “Another Image of Existence.” Performance Philosophy 7(1): 132-145 \n  \n\n\n\n \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \n\n\n\nAndré Lepecki works and researches at the intersection of critical dance studies\, curatorial practice\, performance theory\, contemporary dance\, and visual arts performance. He is a Professor and the chair of the Department of Performance Studies at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. He has published widely and edited several anthologies. He has also curated numerous festivals and exhibitions including the award-winning re-staging of Allan Kaprow’s 18 Happenings in 6 Parts. In 2010 he co-curated the Archive on Dance and Visual Arts since the 1960s for the exhibition Move: Choreographing You at the Hayward Gallery\, London. He is the author of the books Exhausting Dance (2006) and Singularities: Dance in the Age of Performance (2016) and the editor\nof Dance (2013)\, Planes of Composition (with Jenn Joy\, 2009)\, The Senses in Performance (with Sally Banes\, 2007)\, and Of the Presence of the Body (2004). \nLília Mestre (she\, her) is a performing artist\, dramaturge and researcher working in collaborative formats mainly in the fields of contemporary dance and choreography. She is interested in forms of organisation created by and for artistic practice as alternative study processes for social-political reflection. 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\, which have been documented in various publications. She was artistic coordinator of a.pass (Advanced Performance and Scenography Studies) in Brussels and is currently Assistant Professor at the Department of Contemporary Dance and Co-director of the Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC) within the MILIEUX Institute for Arts Culture and Technology at Concordia University.

SUMMARY:Unity Dialogue Workshop featuring Owen Hellum
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the world of dialogue systems? On Friday\, April 19\, TAG Research Cluster will host a workshop about Descant featuring Owen Hellum! \n  \nABOUT DESCANT: \nDescant (https://omch.tech/descant) is a Unity Dialogue System plugin designed to be easy to pick up and use\, but with room for growth and customization. It was developed for a CART Independent Study\, with the goal to address the missing niche for dialogue systems between ones that are enormous and expensive\, and those that are tiny and un-featured. It uses a node-based dialogue creation system\, and makes use of the Unity Component system concept for enhancing such nodes. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP: \nThe workshop will start with a straightforward overview of the system\, accompanied by a detailed explanation of the Component framework. This will be succeeded by several hours dedicated to practical experimentation. The workshop is designed to resemble both a tutorial and a game jam development session. Subsequently\, a segment will be allocated for participants to provide feedback and offer suggestions for improvement. \n  \n: April 19\, 2024 | 1-4 p.m \n: TAG Lab E.V 11.435 \nATTENDEES ARE ASKED TO BRING COMPUTERS WITH THEM\, WITH A RECENT VERSION OF UNITY INSTALLED! \n🔗 Unity can be downloaded here: https://unity.com/download \n
