SUMMARY:Breaking $#*% On Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Allison Tanenhaus\n\n\n\nGlitch video artist Allison Tanenhaus specializes in immersive op art\, anachronistic tech mashups\, and unexpected dimensional qualities. At a time when platforms pervasively cull personal data—and digital conformity is the norm—Tanenhaus views reclaiming devices\, embracing error\, and transforming shared environments as radical acts of autonomy\, mindfulness\, and community. Her earliest digital works were created via smartphone glitch apps; her recent work in AI seeks to similarly short-circuit machine-learning processes. She manipulates the software’s lean toward logic\, producing imagery and songs steeped in the saccharine\, saturated\, and surreal. In this talk\, Tanenhaus will share her unconventional creative path\, from typographic street art to experimental AI installations\, cat stickers to electronic music collaborations. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program at Clark University \n\n\n\n\nScience fiction\, literature\, and experimental cinema collide in a concert by Cosmic Lucifer featuring psychedelic visuals by Allison Tanenhaus. Join us for this special event on April 16 at 7 p.m. in Razzo Hall. Click HERE for more details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the SpeakerAllison Tanenhaus (she/her) is a New York–born\, Somerville–based glitch media artist. Using smartphone apps\, she glitches and restitches original photos and personal artifacts into vibrant otherworldly abstractions. Made with equal parts deliberation and experimentation\, the rainbow-hued mutations take on a psychedelic life of their own. Tanenhaus’ work has been showcased in 26 countries via exhibitions\, installations\, music videos\, live performances\, and guerrilla street art. Highlights include Boston Cyberarts\, Boston Museum of Science Planetarium\, and her traveling shows “GlitchKraft” and “Haus Party.”

SUMMARY:Concert: An Evening of Cosmic Lucifer
DESCRIPTION:Science fiction\, literature\, and experimental cinema collide in Cosmic Lucifer’s electrifying multidisciplinary presentation of “Blade Runner Reimagined” (in tribute to the composer Vangelis)\, “UBIK” (in tribute to author Philip K. Dick)\, “Alien” (in tribute to filmmaker Ridley Scott)\, and “Who Are We.” Composer and producer Robin Amos performs on a mix of analog and hybrid systems\, collected from his 50+ years as a pioneering synthesizer player. This performance includes a recorded collaboration with musician Blaik Ripton on analog and digital synthesizers. Glitch video artist Allison Tanenhaus specializes in trippy op art and anachronistic tech mashups. She creates the music’s dancerly\, larger-than-life visuals\, rich in psychedelic abstraction and unexpected dimensional qualities. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program at Clark University \n\n\n\n\nGlitch video artist Allison Tanenhaus will discuss her unconventional creative path\, from typographic street art to experimental AI installations\, cat stickers to electronic music collaborations. Join us on April 16 at noon in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons. Click HERE for more details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the PerformersCosmic Lucifer is an audio-visual collective rooted in dark wave\, film soundtracks\, and the Berlin School of electronic music. Founding member Robin Amos (Cul de Sac\, The Girls\, Infera Bruo\, Shut Up) melds custom sonic elements he crafts on his multi-decade synthesizer collection\, collaborating with electronic musicians Blaik Ripton and Dan Ciardi\, and guitarist Heath Finney. Digital artist Allison Tanenhaus creates the accompanying video segments\, casting an immersive\, multi-sensory spell.
