SUMMARY:If\, Then: Technology and Poetics\,
DESCRIPTION:Learn from visual artist Kameelah J. Rasheed in this satellite workshop \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s satellite workshop (conducted over zoom)\, in partnership with John Hopkins University. In If\, Then: Technology and Poetics\, Kameelah explores the relationship between writing constraints and algorithmic scores (dubbed wayward sentences).  \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be conducted over zoom. You can RSVP or attend the workshop using this link.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nChristopher Gregory for The New York Times\n\n\n\nRasheed thinks conceptually about text\, type\, and printed matter and uses publishing as a platform to engage and enlarge conversations with others. Her work invites important questions about the materiality of text\, such as\, “What is the shape of a failed sentence?” or even to quote Fred Moten speaking to the work of Renee Gladman\, “Is there an underground railroad in the sentence?” These questions are central to the artist’s practice. \n\n\n\nA learner\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed explores writing practices across all species\, states of living\, states of consciousness\, and substrates. Curious about the poetics and possibilities of loss\, ruin\, and failure in the reading and writing process\, Rasheed explores Black knowledge production and fugitivity. She creates sprawling\, “architecturally-scaled” installations; public installations; publications; prints; performances; performance scores; poems; video; and other forms yet to be determined. Most recently\, she is a recipient of a 2023 Working Artist Fellowship; a 2022 Schering Stiftung Award for Artistic Research; a 2022 Creative Capital Award; a 2022 Artists + Machine Intelligence Grants – Experiments with Google; and a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts. \n\n\n\nExhibition hours are Tuesday – Saturday\, 12-6pm.

SUMMARY:Goethe-Institut: Immersive Storytelling - How Emerging Media Create Agency and Social Change
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe network meetings aim to highlight and virtually connect women and gender-marginalized people from Europe and North-America working in the creative industries and around immersive technologies to create new international connections and foster potential cooperation. These Meetups are planned as a series of events with a different focus for each event. This meeting is presented by the Goethe-Institut Boston in collaboration with Women in Immersive Tech Europe. \nFeaturing artists and filmmakers Rashin Fahandej and Rebecca Merlic in conversation with curator Dr. Leonie Bradbury. The speakers will address how they use virtual reality and immersive storytelling as tools for co-creation\, healing and social change. \nIntroduction by\nDr. Leonie Bradbury is the Henry and Lois Foster Chair of Contemporary Art Theory and Practice and Curator-in-Residence at Emerson College in Boston\, USA. She directs Emerson’s platform for visual art “Emerson Contemporary” focused on presenting and commissioning new media art\, performance art\, and emergent technologies within a socio-political context.

Previously\, she served as the Director of Art and Creative Initiatives at HUBweek\, an innovation festival showcasing intersections of art\, science\, and technology. \nA respected authority on both the creative and scholarly aspects of contemporary art\, Dr. Bradbury has more than 20 years of experience in public programming\, developing new work\, creating compelling and innovative exhibitions\, and promoting artists as thought leaders. Her dissertation Artwork as Network: A Reconceptualization of the Work of Art and its Exhibition questions how contemporary works of art relate to network culture and\, alternately\, how do networks redefine our understanding of specific works of art. At Emerson College\, she teaches a professional practice seminar Curating Contemporary Art as well as a course on The Moving Image in Contemporary Art. \nPresentations by\nRashin Fahandej is an award winning artist\, independent filmmaker and assistant professor of emerging and interactive media at Emerson College. Her projects center on marginalized voices and the role of media\, technology\, and public collaboration in generating social change. A proponent of “Art as Ecosystem\,” she defines her projects as “Poetic Cyber Movement for Social Justice\,” where art mobilizes a plethora of voices by creating connections between public places and virtual spaces. Fahandej is the founder of “A Father’s Lullaby\, “ a multi-year community co-creative initiative that highlights the role of men in raising children and their absence due to racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Fahandej is the recipient of the 2021 Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction in Digital Music & Sound Art and 2019 Foster Prize at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston. She has served as a Boston Mayor’s Office Artist-In-Residence and lead artist at American Arts Incubator Austria at ZERO1 and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs where she launched the “Future of Inclusion Lab”initiative in partnership with Ars Electronica. \nRebecca Merlic retreats between Tokyo\, Munich and Vienna. She graduated with distinction at the Academy of Fine Arts. She specialized on analogue and digital art as well as architecture. Her work is strongly influenced by alternative ways of society and transgression in socioeconomic conventions as well as new forms of artistic and architectural production employing new technologies.

She is a holder of the Marianne von Willemer Prize 2020 for digital media and the PIXEL\,BYTEs & FILM residency supported by the BMKOES\, ORF and Arte Creative.
