SUMMARY:Speculations in the PARC
DESCRIPTION:Join The Speculative Life Research Cluster and The Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC) for a  their end of semester mixer event on December 2nd from 5pm to 8:30pm. The event is open for all Milieux members and the general public to attend and aims to provide insight into research conducted within these two clusters in a cozy and festive atmosphere. It will also be the perfect moment to decompress and celebrate the last day of class! \n\nCALL FOR PRESENTATIONS: (For Speculative Life and LePARC members only!) \n \n\nMembers who wish to partake in this opportunity to share their research and meet people from other clusters have until November 27th 11.59pm EST to apply. \nTo submit your proposal\, please fill in this form with a presentation title\, short summary of research/creation and how you wish to present it. \nDue to the relatively short duration of the event\, only 10 presentations will be selected\, prioritizing those that explore common themes and overlaps and that haven’t been shown before. Work in progress are also accepted! \nThe presentations should be between 5 to 10 minutes each as more time will be allocated to informal chats! Without this being an elevator pitch thesis competition\, we encourage you to present your work in a concise way and to keep in mind that you will be engaging with folks from various academic disciplines. \nPlease note that these presentations need to remain minimal in terms of tech requirements; there will be a large screen TV and an HDMI cord for presenters that have visual components to show. \n\n\nPresentations will take place in Spec Life (EV.10.625). The Performance Lab (EV 10.865) will also be open for participants and attendees to check out durational performances and installations presented by LePARC members. Light food and non-alcoholic drinks will be served! \n📅 December 2\, 2024 | 5-8:30 PM \n📍 EV 10.625 / EV 10.865

SUMMARY:Haptic Images Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the Jacquard loom and how you can integrate it in your artistic practice? Join Geneviève Moisan for an introduction to the Pointcarré Textile software for the Jacquard Loom. \n\nOnce a vitrine for innovation\, the first Jacquard images were inspired by the popular imagery of the time and produced by different ateliers as a way for them to demonstrate their technical proficiency. In a contemporary context\, we have become over-saturated with images\, leading us to question which images warrant materialization\, and why. \n\nIn this workshop\, you will learn the first steps of transforming an image into an intricately woven piece of cloth and how to turn your digital file into a haptic piece of art: an image that you can touch and feel. You will explore the art of making an image by using the structures of crossed yarns in patterns that will shape its highlights and shadows\,  simulating a fabric in which the raised design is incorporated into the weave instead of being printed or dyed on. \n\n\nFor this workshop\, you are invited to bring an image to work with. Please consider the following criteria when selecting an image:\n\nContrast: High contrast images are most successful. Please note that the final image will be converted to a grayscale\, but you are welcome to bring in colour images and convert them using Photoshop.\nResolution: Not too much detail—single objects\, portraits\, or simple landscapes work best. The resolution of the image will be brought down to 60 dpi\, so even a screen capture is acceptable.\nDimensions: Square format (but we can crop using Photoshop).\n\nNote: Only experienced weavers are authorized to operate the Jacquard loom. There is a possibility to have your image woven in the weeks after the workshop in a size of about 12 x 12 inches.\n\nThere are no prerequisites for this workshop. ​Limited space available. Registration on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n\nInstruction will be given in the Cluster Commons (EV 10.730)\, followed by independent work on individual computers in separate rooms.\n\n\n🚨 This workshop is for Textiles and Materiality members only!\n\n📅: December 09\, 2024 | 1-4 PM\n📍: EV 10.730\n🎟️: Please e-mail textiles.materiality@concordia.ca to register.
