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:Oh! Horror! HallowZine
DESCRIPTION:Image by [Robin]/stock.adobe.com\n\n\n\nWe invite all Clarkies for a night of zine- and collage-making in celebration of Halloween. Channel Dr. Frankenstein and assemble something beautiful and new from the cut-up pieces of dead media (no grave-robbing necessary). Create a zine about the history of Halloween\, recant found memories of holidays-past\, review horror movies or The Monster Mash\, or design the most chilling zine all about gothic horror\, cryptozoology\, or anything else your heart can handle. Horrific creations are encouraged\, but not required. \n\n\n\nSpecial guest Katie Stebbins\, an expert zine maker and Digital Projects Librarian at the Goddard Library\, will provide a brief presentation and be available to offer insight to first-time zine makers! \n\n\n\nMaterials – old magazines\, glue sticks\, scissors\, markers – will be provided but crafters are welcome to bring their own supplies as well. Trick or treat at our candy buffet between slicing and dicing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open only to members of the Clark community. This event is sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities.
