The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Such a generalization is motivated by (null) results from both high energy (LHC) and low energy (flavor\, CP\, and electroweak precision) experiments. In particular\, null results from the LHC led us to consider the possibility that little hierarchy may exist. In addition to the consistency with low energy bounds\, our generalization can address the question of the form of TeV scale new physics we can expect. I will argue that such new physics appearing at the TeV scale is in the form of vector-like confinement with new states interacting with SM through mostly flavor universal couplings. In the second part of the talk\, I will discuss several exciting signals probable at the LHC and in future colliders.

The first part of will provide an overview of recent work at Stanford and of a Stanford-led multi-university effort on the integration of plasmas into metamaterials and photonic crystals for the control of electromagnetic waves in the centimeter – millimeter range of the spectrum. Plasmas\, because of their unusual dielectric constant\, provide a means of reconfiguring otherwise passive microwave photonic and plasmonic devices that are used to filter\, switch\, or redirect electromagnetic waves. The second part will focus on recent studies of high energy density plasmas and the formation of hypervelocity plasma jets of extreme density (1018 cm-3) and temperature (50-100 eV). The interactions of these jets with surfaces generate an extreme heat flux (>10 GW/m2) and can serve as simulators of disruptions that occur in magnetic confinement fusion reactors. We will describe efforts at characterizing the jet structure including first videography of unsteady dynamics\, and also recent measurements of surface heat deposition rates. \n\nMark A. Cappelli is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University\, and co-Director of the Engineering Physics Major. He received his B.Sc. degree in Physics from McGill University\, and his M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in Aerospace Sciences. The focus of his Ph.D. dissertation involved the formation of high density plasma channels to facilitate the propagation of ion beams to targets in light-ion beam fusion. He joined the Stanford faculty in 1987. At Stanford\, he has studied the applications of plasmas to space propulsion\, materials synthesis and processing\, combustion\, aerodynamics\, and most recently\, to the control of electromagnetic waves.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

Up to now\, the primary way that computational power has increased is that the electronic components have been made smaller and smaller\, but within the next decade it is expected to reach the fundamental limits imposed by the size of atoms. However\, it is possible that further huge increases in computational power could be achieved by building quantum computers\, which exploit in new ways of the laws of quantum mechanics that govern the physical world. This talk will discuss the challenges involved in building a large-scale quantum computer as well as progress that we have made in developing a quantum computer using silicon quantum dots.

It focuses on homicide cases to probe into the cultural meaning of interpersonal violence. Many homicide stories we find in legal archives continue to reflect in our present-day society. These stories provide a window for us to understand how criminal justice was socially and culturally shaped and altered over time. By analyzing a wide array of sources\, including forensic texts\, inquest reports\, criminal records\, legal codes\, royal edicts\, and veritable records\, this study demonstrates the development of forensic medicine and how forensic practice was associated with Neo-Confucian concepts such as benevolent rule\, leniency\, and judicial prudence (hŭmhyul 欽恤).

These polymers are passive in that electric bias drives ion migration in the thermodynamically favored direction. Recently\, my group engineered two important features into passive ion-selective polymers to introduce the active function of photovoltaic action and demonstration of an ionic solar cell. These features were covalent bonding of photoacid dyes to the polymers such that absorption of visible light resulted in liberation of protons\, and synthesis of polymer membranes with charge-selective contacts to facilitate separation and collection of H+ and OH–. Light excitation from either side of the polymer membranes resulted in H+ dissociation followed by directional charge collection. The charge collection direction was dictated by the electrostatic asymmetry in the polymers\, which was formed due to an external pH difference setup across the membrane.\n\nJoining a monopolar cation-selective polymer to a monopolar anion-selective polymer forms a bipolar membrane\, which mimics a rectifying semiconductor pn-junction diode in form and function\, and is able to maintain pH differences across it. Using a photoacid-dye-modified bipolar membrane\, we measured a photovoltage of ~120 mV under conditions of solar-simulated excitation. In addition to more traditional electrochemical techniques\, insights into materials function were obtained using finite-element numerical modeling of photoacid kinetics and membrane physics\; beam-line x-ray scattering measurements\; electrochemical impedance\, solid-state NMR\, and pulsed-laser spectroscopies\; and fluorescence\, electron\, and force microscopies. Collectively\, these photo-responsive polymers represent a new class of functional materials that use light to trigger changes in local ion concentration and electrostatic potential. These local changes can be used to affect macroscopic processes such as direct sunlight-driven redox chemistry or desalination of salt water\, chemical catalysis\, and triggering of cellular processes. \n\nReferences\n(1) Reiter\, R.

Due to the typically complex nature of each challenge\, the standard paradigm is to predict\, then optimize. By and large\, machine learning tools are intended to minimize prediction error and do not account for how the predictions will be used in a downstream optimization problem. In contrast\, we propose a new and very general framework\, called Smart “Predict\, then Optimize” (SPO)\, which directly leverages the optimization problem structure\, i.e.\, its objective and constraints\, for designing successful predictive models. A key component of our framework is the SPO loss function\, which measures the quality of a prediction by comparing the objective values of the solutions generated using the predicted and observed parameters\, respectively. Training a model with respect to the SPO loss is computationally challenging\, and therefore we also develop a surrogate loss function\, called the SPO+ loss\, which upper bounds the SPO loss\, has desirable convexity properties\, and is statistically consistent under mild conditions. We also propose a stochastic gradient descent algorithm which allows for situations in which the number of training samples is large\, model regularization is desired\, and/or the optimization problem of interest is nonlinear or integer. Finally\, we perform computational experiments to empirically verify the success of our SPO framework in comparison to the standard predict-then-optimize approach. This is joint work with Adam Elmachtoub.\n\nThis talk is based on the following paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.08005\n\nBio:\nPaul Grigas is an assistant professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at the University of California\, Berkeley.

Book signing and sale courtesy of Nicola's Books.\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\"In the 1910s and 1920s\, a “golem cult” swept across Europe and the U.S.\, later surfacing in Israel. Why did this story of a powerful clay monster molded and animated by a rabbi to protect his community become so popular and pervasive? The golem has appeared in a remarkable range of popular media: from the Yiddish theater to American comic books\, from German silent film to Quentin Tarantino movies. This book showcases how the golem was remolded\, throughout the war-torn twentieth century\, as a muscular protector\, injured combatant\, and even murderous avenger. This evolution of the golem narrative is made comprehensible by\, and also helps us to better understand\, one of the defining aspects of the last one hundred years: mass warfare and its ancillary technologies.\n\n\"In the twentieth century the golem became a figure of war. It represented the chaos of warfare\, the automation of war technologies\, and the devastation wrought upon soldiers’ bodies and psyches. Golem: Modern Wars and Their Monsters draws on some of the most popular and significant renditions of this story in order to unravel the paradoxical coincidence of wartime destruction and the fantasy of artificial creation. Due to its aggressive and rebellious sides\, the golem became a means for reflection about how technological progress has altered human lives\, as well as an avenue for experimentation with the media and art forms capable of expressing the monstrosity of war.\" UID:49556-11476267@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49556 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,History,Literature,Writing LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery, room #100 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180130T151715 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180328T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180328T190000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Maize Collective Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:This program is free and open to the public.
