High Light/Low Light
Installations and Screenings, November 14th – November 22nd
Viewable on Saturday nights (openings) and Sundays 1-5pm Opening Saturday, November 14th, 8-11 PM Opening Saturday, November 21st, 8-11PM High Light/Low Light features new work by MFA students in the John C. Hench Division of Animation & Digital Arts. The installations and videos were created for the Fall 2009 “Contemporary Topics in Animation” class taught by Hench-DADA adjunct faculty Larissa Bank. The work on display in High Light/Low Light stresses animation as a fertile terrain for experimentation. The screening location and tactics are dependent upon the content. The gallery space and installation genre replaces the traditional theater format for presentation. The intent is to explore alternative ways to make animated films visible, to communicate with a different (art-going) public, and to encourage audience discussion and interaction in ways that the theater model does not foster. Sea and Space Explorations Gallery is open Sundays 1-5PM, for openings and events and by appointment. Tel.: 323-982-0854. email: info@seaandspace.org |

USC School of Cinematic Arts and IBM Research Collaboration IBM Research and USC School of Cinematic Arts are collaborating on a unique research project that aims to explore the future, circa 2050, based on scientific projections, informed speculation and creative thinking. The project seeks to inspire new movie or television concepts, digital media projects, or lead to novel projects and applications that IBM might pursue. One component of the research collaboration will be visits to IBM Research Laboratories for a select group of students. Time Capsule 2050 The time capsule, to be opened in the year 2050, will contain ideas, projections and speculation about the future, written by USC students, faculty, alumni, and friends, along with selected artifacts of the past and present. To express your interest in the time capsule or the research collaboration, please e-mail Richard Weinberg (weinberg@cinema.usc.edu). Access to IBM Scientists As you create the movies of the future, if you are interested in speaking with an IBM scientist about research breakthroughs and their impact on the future, we can connect you with the right experts. Contact Jenny Galitz McTighe (galitz@us.ibm.com). |
