SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop with Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0: 
DESCRIPTION:“Gestures in the ‘Border Horror’ of US Immigration Policy”\n\n\n\nJoin Ricardo Dominguez and Amy Sara Carroll of the collective Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 as they discuss a brief history of the collective’s previous work in relation to borders; the relationship between NAFTA\, US Prevention through Deterrence philosophy\, the binational War on Drugs\, and the emergence of border art as genre. The workshop will be grounded with a discussion on “Technologies of Disturbance: From Tactical Media to Geo-Poetic Systems\,” an overview of artivist gestures from the 1990s and what they might offer artivists and activists now. Then\, together with Ricardo and Amy\, Yes Man Mike Bonnano will moderate a discussion with attendees brainstorming potential artivist and activist actions.  \n\n\n\nPresented by EMPAC and iEAR Presents \n\n\n\nCurators: Ashley Ferro-Murray\, Kathy High\, Branda Miller \n\n\n\nSponsored by iEAR Presents!\, EMPAC and the School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Sciences at Rensselaer\, made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of The Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\nHudson Mohawk Magazine · Electronic Disturbance Visited the Sanctuary\n\n\n\nPhotographs by Robert Cooper. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotographs by Sina Basila Hickey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about this event \n\n\n\nEach decade of the twentieth century triggered draconian refinements of the “border horror” of U.S. immigration policy. Resulting borderization in the twenty-first century continues as such\, now with blurred divides between the flow of goods and the blockage of human beings. Supply chain disruptions and queued shipping containers and the US invocation of Title 42 and “Stay in Mexico” policies\, while never comparable\, are in equal measure “products” of COVID-19. \n\n\n\nAmong others\, the artists will reflect on the influences\, production and distribution challenges\, and discordant reception of the collective’s Transborder Immigrant Tool\, a project that debuted fifteen years ago. This project consists of an app designed to provide sustenance in grueling desert conditions like those that abut the US-Mexico Border. The app consists of poetry and a navigational system that points users toward water sources provided by humanitarian aid organizations like Water Station Inc. \n\n\n\nThe talk includes  a discussion of Carroll and Dominguez’s new work-in-progress theater production\, “The Flight of the Palindrone.” This project instrumentalizes drone activity to provide a sonic theatrical intervention that plays on surveillance technologies in the Mexican-U.S. borderlands\, the participation of the University of California\, San Diego (the artists’ own institution) in the research and development of unmanned aerial vehicles\, and regional eco-catastrophe—all within the context of Carroll and Dominguez’s continued commitment to translanguaging and the artivist gesture.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n***In line with our commitment to equity\, love and justice\, we ask that you please keep your mask on at our indoor events.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 is made up of members included Brett Stalbaum\, Amy Sara Carroll\, Elle Mehrmand\, Micha Cárdenas\, and Ricardo Dominguez. Founded in 1997 as Electronic Disturbance Theater by Ricardo Dominguez\, Brett Stalbaum\, Stefan Wray and Carmin Karasic\, this collective organized and programmed computer software demonstrating their anti-propagandist and military actions. Micronetworks were activated in direct digital actions like virtual sit-ins to prevent website access and other non-violent acts of defiance across and between digital and non-digital spaces. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRicardo Dominguez is chair of the Department of the Visual Arts\, University of California\, San Diego. He is a founding member of Critical Art Ensemble and a cofounder of Electronic Disturbance Theater 1.0 (EDT)\, a group which developed virtual sit-in technologies in solidarity with the Zapatistas communities in Chiapas\, Mexico in 1998. His recent Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 / b.a.n.g. lab project with Brett Stalbaum\, Micha Cardenas\, Amy Sara Carroll\, and Elle Mehrmand\, the Transborder Immigrant Tool (a GPS cell phone safety net tool for crossing the Mexico/US border) was the winner of “Transnational Communities Award” (2008) and funded by CALIT2 and the UCSD Center for the Humanities. The Transborder Immigrant Tool was also under investigation by the US Congress\, the FBI\, Homeland Security\, UCSD\, and UCOP in 2009-2010. It was also reviewed by Glenn Beck in 2010 as a gesture that potentially “dissolved”  the U.S. border with its poetry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Sara Carroll is Associate Professor of Literature and Writing at the University of California\, San Diego and is a member of Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 since 2008. For the collective she co-produced the Transborder Immigrant Tool. Her books include Secession\, Fannie + Freddie: The Sentimentality of Post-9/11 Pornography\, and REMEX: Toward an Art History of the NAFTA Era. She coauthored with other members of EDT 2.0 several plays and [({   })] The Desert Survival Series/La Serie de Sobrevivencia del Desierto. Carroll was a Fellow in Cornell University’s Society for the Humanities (2017-18)\, a Fellow in the University of Texas at Austin’s Latino Research Initiative (2018-19)\, and a UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy Fellow (2021).

SUMMARY:BioArt Visionary @CBIS with Miriam Simun
DESCRIPTION:“Corporeal Entanglements All The Way Down“\n\n\n\nJoin us for this virtual session of the series BioArt Visionary @CBIS\, presented in conjunction with RPI’s Center for Biotechnology\, the ARTS department & the School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Sciences\, and the Sanctuary’s NATURE Lab. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe BioArt Visionary @CBIS is sponsored by RPI’s Arts department\, the iEAR Presents series\, the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS)\, the School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Sciences\, and the Sanctuary for Independent Media’s NATURE Lab initiative. \n\n\n\nThe iEAR Presents series has been generously supported by funds from the New York State Council on the Arts by approval of the New York State legislature and the Governor. We are grateful for this support! \n\n\n\nIf collision is understood as a form of disturbance (in the ecological sense)\, then in disturbance we find not only damage\, but also the opportunity for renewal. As we collide in new and ancient ways\, we discover\, as the poet Fred Moten said\, “a shared need to renew our habits of assembly.” I work with sensorial\, corporeal experience e as sites of multi-species\, multi-epistemological assembly. The corporeal is political\, the political is corporeal. What happens when we treat bioart as performance art and performance art as bioart? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiriam Simun works at the intersection of ecology\, technology and the body\, spanning multiple formats including video\, performance\, installation\, writing\, and communal sensorial experiences. Of chief concern is the collision of bodies (human and non) with rapidly evolving techno-ecosystems. If collision can be understood to be a form of disturbance (in the ecological sense)\, then in disturbance we move through damage to an opportunity for renewal. Simun’s centers the sensorial as imperative for this renewal.  \n\n\n\nTheir work has been presented internationally\, including Gropius Bau (Berlin)\, New Museum (New York)\, Himalayas Museum (Shanghai)\, The Contemporary (Baltimore) and the Bogota Museum of Modern Art (Bogota) and has been supported by Creative Capital and the Robert Rauschenberg\, Joan Mitchell\, and Onassis Foundations.

SUMMARY:Salon Séance: "The End of Time"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interdisciplinary presentation combining live classical music with visual and theatrical storytelling. This is the regional premiere of The End of Time\, an immersive experience with themes of trauma and healing\, by Salon Séance. The performance will be followed by an audience conversation about the music and re-interpretations of the themes as seen from the eyes of youth and community members today. The End of Time was inspired by Quartet for the End of Time by composer Olivier Messiaen.   \n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Chamber Music. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n***In line with our commitment to equity\, love and justice\, we ask that you please keep your mask on at our indoor events.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalon Séance creates a new ritual to experience the intersection between music\, history\, and our lives. The End of Time is centered around the French composer Olivier Messiaen and his masterwork Quartet for the End of Time\, written and premiered during his captivity at the prisoner-of-war camp in Görlitz\, Germany during WW2 in 1941. It explores the theme of hope in times of desperation through stories that inspired Messiaen to compose this work: the stories of the musicians that premiered this work and the story of the Book of Revelation. The musical work\, which embodies the collective experience of captivity as well as the concept of a renewal after the End of Time\, become a source of hope for the future as the most destructive war in history was raging.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFounded by Mari Lee and Simon Lee\, Salon Séance is a live experience channeling kindred spirits through music and the ritual of seance. Developed in interdisciplinary collaboration with world-class performers and creators\, our seances bring composers\, audiences\, and performers to experience the intersection between music and our lives. Salon Séance is a recipient of Tarisio’s Young Artists Grants and Britten-Pears Foundation’s Britten Award\, and has been presented by Yellow Barn Festival\, The Crypt Sessions\, Schubert Club\, among others. \n\n\n\nCredits:\n\n\n\nMusic // Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time \n\n\n\nCreated by Mari LeeDirected by Jay StullSound design by John GasperResearch by Simon Angseop Lee \n\n\n\nPerformers: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMari Lee\, violinist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJay Stull\, director \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNile Assata Harris\, actor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoonah Kim\, clarinet \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHenry Kramer\, piano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMihai Marica\, cello \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrea Cunliffe interviewed members of Salon Séance:\n\n\n\n• Intro to Salon Séance: “The End of Time” with Friends of Chamber Music President Jennifer Laursen• “The End of Time” Cellist Mihai Marica• Salon Séance Arts Administrator Sam Paris• “The End of Time” Director Jay Stull• Co-Creators of Salon Séance\, Simon Lee•“The End of Time” with Mari Lee of Salon Séance \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the zoom discussion with the artists prior to the event on Nov. 12\, 2022 at 7:00pm!
