SUMMARY:Paradox: The Body in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:“Paradox: The Body in the Age of AI” explores the primacy of the human body as it’s poised on the precipice of a potential fusion with artificial intelligence. Inspired by the Moravec Paradox\, the show looks deeper into the unconscious role the body’s sensorimotor habitat has in shaping our awareness\, imagination\, and socio-political structures. Society tends to privilege reason and logic because it is conscious and quantifiable. But beneath this thin “veneer of human thought” is a deeper\, more complex knowledge system within the body. As technologists imagine the potentials of merging humans with AI\, these artists consider the body’s elusive and underestimated power. Their various investigations across multiple media offer room to speculate about the exchange between the unconscious and conscious\, and ask questions about what the body knows. Before we enter a generation where cyborgs are as ubiquitous as the internet\, in a time when we still inhabit human bodies\, the urgent questions to ask are what lessons can our mortal vessels teach us and what unknown paradox might we contain? \n“Paradox: The Body in the Age of AI” is on view October 5\, 2018 through February 3\, 2019. An opening reception will be held on October 4 from 6:00 to 8:00pm. \nExhibition website

SUMMARY:STUDIO Lecture: Robin Sloan
DESCRIPTION:Robin Sloan is an author and technologist. His first novel\, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore\, was a New York Times Best Seller\, translated into more than twenty languages. The paperback edition of his latest novel\, Sourdough\, was released in September 2018. Robin’s next novel is being written in collaboration with an AI. \nRobin experiments with\, and writes about\, computational tools for text generation and manipulation. He calls himself a “media inventor”: someone\, he writes\, “primarily interested in content (words\, pictures\, ideas) who also experiments with new tools and new formats.” Unsatisfied with the formats available to them by default\, “media inventors feel compelled to make the content and the container.”

SUMMARY:Tsohil Bhatia: Keeping Time
DESCRIPTION:‘Without some means of exact time keeping\, industrial capitalism could never have developed and could not continue to exploit the workers\, the clock represents an element of mechanical tyranny in the lives of modern men more potent than any individual exploiter or any other machine.’\n-George Woodcock\, The Tyranny of The Clock (1944) \n“Keeping Time” presents video and installation by Tsohil Bhatia that look at alternate methodologies and devices to imagine\, observe and document time. The work studies the body\, memory and a domestic setting as a time keeper and engages in a confrontation with a clock and standardized time. The exhibition opens two days before the observation of autumnal daylight saving time\, a particularly peculiar phenomena in our measurement of time. \nTsohil Bhatia was born and raised in New Delhi\, India. They’re a second year MFA candidate at the School of Art\, Carnegie Mellon University. Tsohil received a professional diploma in performance studies in India and their current practice extends itself across mediums of photography\, video\, installation and drawing. Their work is informed by domestic activity\, quotidian objects as anthropological evidence and personal memory archives. They’re currently pursuing their thesis in nothing through a study in minimalist practice\, reproductive labor and ‘meaningless’ work. \nReception: November 2\, 7-10pm\nOpen Hours: November 3 and 4\, 7-10pm\nBy Appointment: November 5-7

SUMMARY:STUDIO Lecture: teamLab
DESCRIPTION:teamLab (f. 2001\, based in Tokyo\, Japan) is an art collective and interdisciplinary group of ultratechnologists whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art\, science\, technology\, design and the natural world. Various specialists such as artists\, programmers\, engineers\, CG animators\, mathematicians and architects form teamLab. \nteamLab aims to explore a new relationship between humans and nature\, and between oneself and the world through art. Digital technology has allowed art to liberate itself from the physical and transcend boundaries. teamLab sees no boundary between humans and nature\, and between oneself and the world; one is in the other and the other in one. Everything exists in a long\, fragile yet miraculous\, borderless continuity of life.

SUMMARY:Liza Goncharova: Primordial Thread
DESCRIPTION:Liza Goncharova’s (BHA ’20) work is nestled in the intersection of ecology\, spirituality\, and language. As remnants of a process-oriented practice\, her drawings and paintings layer biomorphic form and sacred text to create pulsating surfaces. Goncharova’s work is a meditation on that thread which weaves itself through the ceaseless transmutation of the phenomenal world on both a microscopic and macroscopic level.

SUMMARY:CAS Lecture: Sammus
DESCRIPTION:Rap artist\, producer\, and PhD student at Cornell University\, Sammus’ Billboard-charting album\, Pieces in Space\, weaves raw confessions\, pro-weirdo anthems\, and clever musings on modern life into a unique story about black womanhood. In her talk\, Sammus (Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo) will discuss how she manages dual careers as well as the ways that many of her personal challenges mirror those faced by the subjects of her research on community recording studios. \nAs an academic studying sound\, gaming\, and the identity politics of community studios\, Enongo has produced articles for publications such as Bitch\, For Harriet\, Sounding Out!\, and The Mary Sue investigating the intersections of race\, hip-hop\, gaming\, and feminism. \nCo-presented by: CMU Center for Arts in Society\, ProSEED\, Arts Greenhouse\, Entertainment Technology Center\, Department of Modern Languages\, and VIA. \nSammus will also give a benefit show with Romance Nyogu\, Swampwalk\, and Kowloon Corp at the Ace Hotel on Friday\, November 16 at 7:30pm. All proceeds from the show will benefit Gwen’s Girls\, which empowers young women in Allegheny County. \nMore information

SUMMARY:Becky Groves: Clean Air Started Here
DESCRIPTION:Becky Groves makes drawings and paintings of steep hills\, buildings under bridges\, outdoor staircases\, the end of a road—things that abruptly break up the topography of where we live. Disruptions in the landscape can be suggestive of memory\, the passage of time\, and ways of life. In these unstable landscapes\, figures interact with the landscape but also reinvent it as one often does in dreams. Specifically\, a lot of Groves’ work focuses on American small towns and the tension between architecture and the landscape\, between the community and big cities\, and between industry and the environment. \nOpening November 16\, 6-9pm

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Jessi Reaves
DESCRIPTION:Jessi Reaves’ practice collapses the barriers between furniture and sculpture through the creation functional pieces that inject animism and desire into the coldness of modernism. Imperfect works bring together notions of deconstruction and embellishment with humble materials such as homemade particleboard\, foam\, and even car parts. Her work has been shown at the SculptureCenter\, the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Philadelphia\, and at the Whitney\, as part of the 2017 biennial. \nOrganized in collaboration with Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie International\, 57th Edition\, 2018. \nAll lectures are free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the East Campus Garage after 5:00pm or on Frew\, Margaret Morrison\, and Tech Streets after 6:00pm.

SUMMARY:Collective Skin
DESCRIPTION:Opening & Performances 6:00-9:00pm\nWorks on view November 30 – December 2 \nCarnegie Mellon University Advanced Sculpture students will take over the Frame Gallery on Friday\, November 30 with objects and durational performances. Despite the admonition to “just be yourself\,” identity is no simple matter. We cannot really understand ourselves outside of the realm of the social and we all choose our role\, behavior\, and appearance according to context. Far from being pure expressions of our innate beings\, our identities are the result of a complex and never-ending process by which our personalities negotiate day-to-day circumstances and larger historical\, cultural\, and social forces. In this show\, the artists explore contemporary practices that ask poignant questions about the self as a place where nature and culture meet and where the political becomes personal. \nThis class and show are under the guidance of Professor Heidi Wiren Bartlett. \nArtists\nOlivia Yi\nMiranda Miller\nJudy Li\nDarya Kharabi\nPat Miller Gamble\nLiza Goncharova\nToby Donoghue\nAdrienne Cassel

SUMMARY:Soma
DESCRIPTION:How does the digital experience alter the way bodies activate physical spaces and spaces activate bodies? “Soma” explores the reciprocal nature of bodies in space using digital projections\, interaction\, and playful installation. \nDigital experience is often mediated through compression and flatness. Hardware such as GPS and virtual reality allow the digital to be mapped over physical space however these technologies are interlocked with flat interfaces\, hardware and symbolic intangible objects. “Soma” makes the digital tangible by projecting through multiple surfaces thus expanding the flatness and inviting viewers to explore and play between the layers. \nThis exhibition is a collaborative effort between Anna Henson MS ’18\, Char Stiles BSA ’18\, Emily deGrandprè BA ’19\, Michael Neumann MFA ’20\, and Sudanshu Shekhar MISM ’19. \n“Soma” is open at the Powder Room on November 30th\, from 7pm-10pm for one night only.
