SUMMARY:End of Residency Presentation: Mónica Rikić
DESCRIPTION:Catalan new media artist and creative coder Mónica Rikić will share with us their work-in-progress project Hipèrbole\, developed as part of an artist-in-residency program at Technoculture\, Art\, and Games (TAG)!  \nOn Friday\, October 13th\, 2023\, at 12:30 PM\, Catalan new media artist and creative coder Mónica Rikić will share with us their work-in-progress project Hipèrbole\, developed as part of an artist-in-residency program at Technoculture\, Art\, and Games (TAG) offered by EMAP and Hexagram. \nThe EMAP residency program receives support from Creative Europe – Culture. This program provides residencies to artists\, artist duos\, collectives\, or other artistic collaborations in the fields of digital arts\, media arts\, and bio-art. In 2023\, EMAP expanded its residency program to encompass 15 European countries and included Quebec\, represented by Hexagram Network as the guest host organization. \nWhen? Friday\, October 13th\, 12:30 PM \nWhere? Concordia University’s Video Production Studio\, located in the EV Building\, 10th floor (EV 10.760)\, 1515 Saint-Catherine St. \nAbout the Project\n\nThrough experimental thinking\, creative coding\, and handcrafted electronics\, Hipèrbole interrogates the field of machine learning as a cutting-edge artificial intelligence technique and explores the creation of alternative artificial cognitive systems by bridging philosophy\, algorithms\, and mechanics. \nBeyond questioning the technological resources necessary to develop AI systems\, this project aims to argue that their potential existence also relies on a matter of philosophical attribution. Its objective is to challenge the dominant role of spoken and written language in the expression of cognition and in machine-human communication. That’s why the project places particular emphasis on embodied cognition and expression through the creation of handcrafted soft-robotics machine. This machine will operate with an algorithmic structure\, a mechanical system\, and behavior developed based on selected principles from alternative philosophical traditions\, diverging from rationalism\, dualism\, formalism\, and mechanism\, and transferring these concepts to creative coding and robotics. \nThe goal is to investigate and experiment with the physical and algorithmic structure relation characteristics that artificial systems must possess to be considered existing and sentient organisms\, from a philosophical and cultural perspective. \nAbout the artist\n\nMónica Rikić is an electronic artist and creative coder born and based in Barcelona. Her practice focuses on creative coding and electronics\, which she combines with non-digital objects to create interactive projects\, robotic installations\, and handcrafted electronic devices. \nYou can visit her portfolio website here: https://monicarikic.com/

SUMMARY:Handle with Care: Values in Our Hearts - A Micro Opera
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for this massive collaborative improvisational micro-opera that explores relations between identity\, independence\, and our yearning for belonging\, and collaborative creation. \nWhen? February 8th\, 6:00 PM \nWhere? Video Production Studio (EV 10.760) \nOur identities are partially constructed of rules internalized through our upbringing\, which provide us with a lifeline and a noose. Some need rules to guide or motivate\, some need them only to resist and break\, some see them as songs or poems yet to be written. \nWe are like starlings in their murmuration: individuals\, we naturally share\, mimic\, and flow\, out of the corners of our eyes\, our ears\, our bodies\, all our senses. We mimic to learn and survive but\, reflecting\, we know we have potential beyond mirroring\, to reach out on our own lines of flight. \nWe slow – even stop – time to reflect\, recycle\, reuse\, and replay experience\, creating fluctuations of harmony\, community\, rupture\, separation\, identity\, solitude\, discord\, multiplicity\, complementarity\, solidarity. \nThis is performance with no limits and rules\, other than that we respect each other’s limitations. Consent\, no consent\, yes\, no\, maybe\, are activated within us as questions and invitations\, emerging to shape our actions and conversations\, articulating possible rules of individual and collective responsibility. \nWhat is in our hearts as our most cherished values? How do we make laws to free us from servitude and serve us better? What would we want laws to say or not say\, do or not do? Could our deepest values be expressed in law\, or are there ways beyond words in which to express them? \nUnder the direction of Professor Eldad Tsabary\, Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments (RISE) is a Le PARC based 5-year (2020-2025) research-creation project designed to enact and investigate cataclysmic scenarios in 10 mini-operas and funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Inspired by the RISE research team’s recent collective exercises\, experiences and reflections\, this micro-opera developed from a proposition by Oonagh Fitzgerald\, INDI PhD student in the Fine Arts Program.
