SUMMARY:xX_CutePixel_Xx
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement:\nWhat makes pixels on a screen cute? Why do we yearn for old websites? Our individual childhood experiences overlap in a shared experience characterized by websites like Deviantart and Tumblr\, anime shows like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura\, along with games like Animal Crossing\, Neopets\, Webkinz\, and Pokemon. The distinctive and unique aesthetic of web spaces in the 2010s\, a sometimes saccharine sometimes grotesque mix of cuteness and randomness\, has faded in popularity and little similarities remain in typical\, current online media. However\, these influences have had a lasting impact on our conception of what makes something “cute\,” along with sparking our interests in computers and online spaces. \nWe have found that making work in this space resonates largely with a specific audience online\, and wish to investigate how nostalgia plays into placing humanity back into data-driven\, web or creative technological works. Are we drawn to these pieces because they remind us of a time when technology was more naive? Why have cultural milestones like Neopets or Tumblr not stood the test of time? In our show\, we will explore what it means for digital representations to be “cute” or nostalgic\, deconstructing the word as it relates to 2010s digital culture. \nWith a team consisting of fine art\, CS and HCI students\, we will be mixing illustrative media\, interactive art\, computationally generated works and sculptural pieces as we explore the theme of internet nostalgia and what makes a pixel cute. \nArtists:\nEileen Lee (BHA\, ’21)\nConnie Ye (BCSA\, ’21)\nAlyssa Lee (BCSA\, ’21)\nYixin He (BCSA\, ’20)\nLexin Yuan (BFA\, ’21)\nLauren Zhang (CS\, ’21) \nOpening reception: February 8\, 6-9pm

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Claudia Bitran
DESCRIPTION:NY-based multidisciplinary artist Claudia Bitran will speak about her multiple DIY projects that break down and reconstruct popular culture. Bitran’s approach to research for her lo-fi reenactments has not been different from the practice of a method actor: It has involved re-shooting the film Titanic by James Cameron\, meeting Britney Spears in person\, befriending strangers via YouTube\, earning a giant check from Mcdonald’s\, and participating on a reality TV show\, to name some anecdotes. She will speak about how these feed into her painting and performance practice\, and she will address humor\, criticality\, cruelty\, obsession\, among other topics that are urgent in her practice.

SUMMARY:Mambo Number Infinity: Sequence 200
DESCRIPTION:A Valentine’s Day Dance Party and Durational Performance! \nHow long can Peter Sheehan (BFA ’20) mambo? This is the question for which the answer will probably be\, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you’re invited to mambo too\, so bring your friends\, your families\, and your dancing shoes because it’s about to get SWEATY at the Frame (quite literally). \n“Mambo Number Infinity: Sequence 200” is a durational performance in which Peter dances to a mambo for 200 sequences\, accompanied by a generative loop of Perez Prado’s “Mambo No. 8.” Each time they count\, the mambo will increase in length\, meaning it will be quite a long performance. \nAccompanying will be the dancing of all of you\, a table of essays and readings on mambo\, and a small station to watch the ways Prado’s mambos have diffused into culture and the ways mambo has been disciplined\, authorized and streamlined over the course of the last century. \nNote: If you can’t make it\, or are interested in looking at mambo rather than participating\, I invite you to watch the livestream the day of\, here.

SUMMARY:Dance with Camera
DESCRIPTION:Participating artists:\nLily Bridges\, Lena Chen\, Grant Glazier\, Justin Gotzis\, Iz Horgan & Sam Horgan\, Misa Kim\, Selina Lee\, Peter Sheehan \nProfessor: Angela Washko\nGraduate Assistant: Jackson McKeehan \nIn the first month of the advanced ETB course Digital Storytelling & Resistance\, students created performances for video – to understand the unique possibilities\, limitations and distinctive qualities that performing for the camera have that set it apart from other types of performance art. The assignment was designed to help students gain confidence in performing\, establish a vocabulary of movement\, and instill an awareness of how their movements and gestures translate on camera. \nPerformance Art (In The Expanded Field) is a course through which students will learn about the interdisciplinary history of performance art from early conceptual art to contemporary digitally mediated approaches. In conjunction with establishing an understanding of the genre’s history\, students will create their own experimental performance art pieces which may include performances-for-video\, performances-for-stage\, performances-in-public\, digitally mediated performances and more. Through assigned performance gestures and supporting texts and screenings\, students will develop the confidence to make performances in a variety of contexts as well as the vocabulary to talk about them.

SUMMARY:Larimer Stories: Community Engaged Art Making
DESCRIPTION:Professor John Peña will share his experiences collaborating with senior residents of Larimer to create “Larimer Stories” a temporary public artwork.
