<nettime-ann> UPGRADE! BOSTON: "Technological Frontiers and the Limits of Nature: Networked Interventions" |
. UPGRADE! BOSTON: "Technological Frontiers and the Limits of Nature: Networked Interventions" -- a panel discussion with Jane D. Marsching, Cary Peppermint and Brooke Singer; moderated by Shane Brennan. http://www.turbulence.org/upgrade/ WHEN: May 3, 7 pm WHERE: Art Interactive, 130 Bishop Allen Drive, at the corner of Prospect Street, Cambridge. Free parking in the lot on the corner or take the T to Central Square and walk 1 block. Technology both extends humanity into the natural environment and brings the "wilderness" indoors. "Arctic Listening Post" by Jane D. Marsching seeks to create hybrid digitally based forms that interweave science, culture, representation, history, and wonder through works that look at our human impact on climate change in the Arctic. "A Series of Practical Performances in the Wilderness - Summer 2005," by Cary Peppermint and Christine Nadir, attempts to bring wilderness into the global digital network through vlogs (video blogs) via Quicktime, DVD interactivity, and the database format with which it was conceptualized. Brooke Singer will discuss working with and documenting communities living in toxic sites across the US who are tackling remediation themselves because either the government has not responded or simply says, "all is well."
