August 11 – Joan Giroux (Art & Design)

Joan Giroux is an interdisciplinary artist, activist and educator. Ranging from discrete handmade objects, digital photomontage, kinetic sculpture and installation to full-scale theatrical productions and community interventions, her work reflects strong interests in language, history, game theory and social conditioning.
Since 1987 Giroux has received various grants and awards, and performed and exhibited at venues in the US and abroad.

(This sounds really interesting! Think about social art and try to see how she relates her work, if she does, to language and issues of translation.)

What is it about "you" that affects others?

This can be something that is positive or negative.

Why do people change from what they originally were into what they are now?

today's lecture

August 6 – Kevin Henry (Art & Design)
The title of the talk could be: The Many Ironies of Technology.
The content will be a brief exploration of the way in which technologies are both liberating and confining, life affirming and life threatening, life enhancing and life diminishing. I will talk about the ways in which technology (which I define as anything that amplifies or extends our abilities as humans- including the pencil, the printing press, the ipod, etc.) can radically alter not only our lives (for good and bad) but more importantly our habits, outlooks, and ways of doing things and how it often takes a generation or more to even notice the change. I will also talk about the ways in which humans embrace and battle these changes.

Why do we talk about identity so much? How do you relate to people the most? Is there a certain technique that you use to get to know others?

8/5 Question 2

Do you think that the music you listen to somehow affects you in the way you dress, talk, or view things? Would you be able to go a day without listening to music? What types of music do you listen to and why?
