SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Creating Large-Scale Participatory Public Installations
DESCRIPTION:Located along the Port Authority Bus Terminal at West 42nd Street and 8th Avenue in Times Square\, this 72-foot\, 5.5 million pixel\, high-resolution LED display featured full multi-person interaction along its entire length via the NOIRFLUX interaction framework.\n\n\n\nRegretfully\, we have had to cancel this week’s lecture\, “Creating Large Scale Participatory Public Installations\,” by Clark alums Lorne Covington and Bill Saiff on Thursday\, October 23 at 7:30pm. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you at future events sponsored by our Interactive Arts Collaborative. More to come soon! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHow do you create public art and experiences that respond to people—not just one person\, but many\, all at once? Artists\, technologists\, and Clark University alumni Lorne Covington ’81 and Bill Saiff ’81 of NOIRFLUX will share how they design large-scale interactive environments where curious—but non-specialist—audiences become participants. Their work blends readily available technologies with their own custom-built tools to create installations that can sense\, respond to\, and engage any number of people in real time. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Covington and Saiff will describe how they use design methods that focus on the participants’ experiences to make intuitive\, engaging\, and rewarding installations. They will show examples across art\, education\, research\, and entertainment\, and will invite the audience to join in and interact with some of their work firsthand. \n\n\n\nCovington and Saiff’s creative journey began in the late 1970s\, experimenting with Clark’s PDP-11/70 computer in the Goddard Library basement. By the early 1980s they were already designing some of the world’s first interactive video systems and applications. While their professional careers took them down separate paths—Lorne as a filmmaker\, technologist\, and creative innovator\, and Bill as a leader in user experience research and design—they remained collaborators\, continually refining their shared vision of how people engage with technology. Since founding NOIRFLUX in 2011\, they have combined Lorne’s expertise in interactive media and sensing technologies with Bill’s decades of UX leadership to create installations that transform spectators into collective participants through interaction\, exploration\, and play. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. This event is sponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program and is hosted by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities\, the Becker School of Design and Technology\, and the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Clark University.

SUMMARY:Biology Seminar Series: Alex Bradshaw\, Clark University
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Bradshaw is a mycologist with experience in microbiology\, including work with bacterial and fungal specimens. He values biodiversity in all forms but has a strong passion for Fungi. His past and current research has primarily focused on systematics and evolution of the genus of “Magic mushrooms” Psilocybe\, which produce psychoactive compounds with high therapeutic potential for the treatment of myriad mental health issues. However\, more broadly\, Alex is interested in exploring the complexity and evolution of fungal secondary metabolites\, which have been utilized by humans throughout history for food\, medicine\, and in reclaiming polluted environments. Embracing the breadth of biological and chemical diversity that Fungi exhibit is paramount to understanding their role in nature\, how they shape the environment around them\, and how they influence the organisms they interact with. \n\n\n\nAnother unexplored realm of mycology is the functional development of morphology\, such as how a mushroom is produced. For his post-doctoral research\, Alex is working in the lab of Dr. David Hibbett and Dr. Javier Tabima\, where he is studying the systematics\, functional genetics\, and population structures of the gilled\, and sometimes secotioid\, polypore mushroom\, Lentinus tigrinus.

SUMMARY:Tracking Africa’s Agricultural Dynamics from Space
DESCRIPTION:Agriculture in many African countries is undergoing rapid change to meet steadily growing food demand. This change includes both expansion and transformation in the scale and intensity of farming. Understanding the nature and extent of these changes requires a spaceborne perspective\, which poses several technical challenges related to the small size and dynamism within the region’s smallholder-dominated croplands. This talk will present an approach designed to overcome these technical challenges\, which combines high-resolution commercial satellite imagery with deep learning and human intelligence to map and analyze the changes in individual crop field boundaries. Results will be demonstrated for Zambia\, which is representative of the agricultural change occurring across much of the continent. \n\n\n\nLyndon Estes\, associate professor of geography\, applies Earth observation technologies and a range of modeling techniques\, including artificial intelligence\, to investigate the drivers and impacts of agricultural change\, with a particular focus on Africa.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Jenny Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Starting with solutions: A Global Political Ecology of Algae Innovation\n \nNature–society scholars have taken on the green energy transition — but what about green materials? Despite the fossil fuel extraction and high emissions profiles associated with cement\, fertilizers\, and plastics\, there is little critical research on possible alternatives or on how a transition to a green materials future might take shape. Seaweed\, however\, is increasingly touted by scientists\, policymakers\, and investors for its potential as a climate-responsive replacement for fossil fuels in industrial applications such as plastics\, fertilizers\, fuels\, and animal feed.  \nThis talk presents preliminary research from the North Atlantic and Southeast Asia on the political–ecological dimensions of technological innovation in the global seaweed industry. Dr. Goldstein first outlines the current barriers to and consequences of scaling up seaweed cultivation for a low-carbon future. She then argues that the bio-technical innovation of turning seaweed into a climate-responsive technology is a crucial locus of power through which to understand how the green materials transition may reproduce\, or reconfigure\, global development dynamics. \nJenny Goldstein is an assistant professor of global development at Cornell University\, an Atkinson Center for Sustainability faculty fellow\, and a core faculty member of Cornell’s Southeast Asian Studies Program. Jenny\, who is also the Director of Cornell’s Center for Social Sciences Qualitative and Interpretive Research Institute (QuIRI)\, is a political ecologist and human geographer who studies how data infrastructures\, digital technologies\, and artificial intelligence mediate nature-society relations. Her current research investigates the role of seaweed in shaping the future of green industrial materials within the global bioeconomy. \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Amy Frazier
DESCRIPTION:A Geographic Approach for Co-designing and Implementing ‘30×30’ Conservation Goals\n\nThe world is at a tipping point for biodiversity\, with over a million species threatened with extinction and climate change driving a redistribution of life on Earth. The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework addresses some of these grand challenges by recommending that at least 30% of land and water be protected by 2030 (colloquially called “30×30”). However\, while agreements like these are a good start\, they are rarely successful in practice\, in part because there is often a disconnect between the geographic data and models being produced by scientists and the information that is needed for conservation decision-making on the ground. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Frazier will discuss how her team is working with various partners around the world to implement conservation projects to protect the planet and how an effective co-design approach can overcome some of the challenges of using geographic methods for conservation decision-making. Woven throughout are examples of how a geographic approach\, and particularly an understanding of the impacts of scale on analyses\, can enhance this decision-making. \nAmy Frazier is the Jack and Laura Dangermond Endowed Chair of Conservation Science at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She previously held faculty appointments at Arizona State University and Oklahoma State University. Dr. Frazier holds an A.B. in environmental earth science from Dartmouth College\, an M.A. in geography from West Chester University\, and a Ph.D. in geography from the University at Buffalo. Dr. Frazier’s research focuses on integrating remote sensing\, GIS\, and landscape ecology to study global environmental change\, specifically to prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Abbie Tingstad
DESCRIPTION:Many Arctics: What Does it Look Like and Why Is it Important for the Future of Governance in the Far North?\n\nThe Arctic is transforming in dramatic and complex ways through a myriad of pressures related to changes in climate\, social trends and demographic patterns\, economic opportunities\, geopolitics\, and technology. Although many discussions surrounding the Arctic’s future rightly focus on climate change\, the concept of “many Arctics” – or the inherent diversity within the Arctic region – reminds us that multiple factors and drivers of change shape different areas in the north in different ways. This diversity is something to be celebrated in cultural and other contexts\, but it can also create challenges for local communities and policymakers alike in navigating intense changes and resolving the many visions of the region’s future that exist among rights- and stake-holders. \nThis lecture will focus on aspects of ongoing research titled “Converging Pressures on Arctic Development” that is funded by the National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic program. It will highlight geographical and geospatial research focused on characterizing the current and potential future human footprints in the region as a basis for exploring alternative scenarios for how today’s many Arctics might look by 2050. It will also present the results of a recently published paper examining diverging scenarios of socio-economic change. Despite the fact that the Arctic has been highlighted as an important area of dialogue and cooperation for decades\, this research suggests that finding common priorities – despite being more important than ever – may become even more difficult in the future.

SUMMARY:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Mercedes Bustamante\, University of Brasilia
DESCRIPTION:Mercedes Bustamante\, ecologist and professor at the University of Brasilia\, Brazil\,  will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture. \nBeyond forests: non-forested ecosystems and global change\n \nNon-forested ecosystems dominate more than a quarter of the world’s land area. They are widespread in the tropics\, making up grasslands and savannas\, presenting significant carbon stocks and biodiversity. While important initiatives are concerned with the conservation of forest ecosystems\, non-forest ecosystems (NFE)\, in contrast\, have not received equal attention. The Brazilian Cerrado\, the second largest biome in South America and a global hotspot for biodiversity conservation due to its biological richness and rapid loss of habitats\, represents some of the most fundamental challenges of current global crises. Despite the successful reversal of deforestation trends in the Amazon\, Cerrado deforestation continues to increase\, imperiling a biome that has already lost more than 50% of its original cover. Environmental changes may exacerbate land-use competition due to complex feedback processes between human and biophysical components in the land system\, with more severe impacts seen in the tropics due to their more significant land-based mitigation potential. Such complexity highlights how careful spatial planning\, robust scientific evidence\, and a better understanding of the political context are essential for sustainable climate policies. The achievement of the Paris Agreement requires more robust and more ambitious climate action with emphasis on the integrity of all ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity\, as climate change\, biodiversity\, and ecosystems are inextricably linked. \nhttps://bustamantelab.com.br/en/mercedes-bustamante-2/
