SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mother Cyborg: Crafting Our Digital Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist\, musician\, and educator Mother Cyborg (Diana J. Nucera) debuts a series of quilts that references our relationship to digital technologies\, data-mining and security in the age of the Internet. Using bright colors\, geometric shapes and patterns\, Crafting our Digital Legacy  opens up analogue and tactile spaces that invite audiences to reflect upon our collective relationship with internet technologies\, identity\, legacy\, and the future. Mother Cyborg draws from over 15 years experience as a community organizer in Detroit\, MI where individuals gained access and agency to (re-)build their neighborhoods\, and run their own Internet service providers. In this exhibition\, Nucera expands her artist self through fiber works where she addresses critical issues of surveillance\, data collection\, the redaction of love to likes\, and the complexity of identity within it all. \nMother Cyborg states\, “This work aims to return a sense of wonder and magic to all of us\, and rekindle the awe we may have first felt when using a geolocating star map\, or being able to video call a person across borders. Crafting our Digital Legacy  looks at the way in which art can unpack how living at the whim of invisible wifi connections\, engaging ‘power cycling’ (turning on and off) computers and phones to ‘fix’ them\, modern experiences of technology run the gamut from resigned faith to proselytizing zealotry. In our weariness of the state of technology\, we fail to notice that the ‘same’ data\, taken from all of us\, has the power to rewrite and mutate the prior century’s worst inequalities into a blueprint for the future. These psychedelic quilts mesmerize while spotlighting surveillance tactics embedded within society bringing into focus the information and questions we should be asking of the future.”\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ruth Weisberg: Of Memory\, Time & Place
DESCRIPTION:“One thing that is very clear to me is that my life and my work are very intertwined. For me the creation of my art\, be it painting\, drawing or printmaking\, integrates my life experiences\, my beliefs and my heritage. I hope that my viewers will also bring their own lenses created by their identity\, their family history and their experiences.” \n- Ruth Weisberg\nRuth Weisberg: Of Memory\, Time &amp\; Place brings together over 25 works that span six decades of the artist’s practice as a painter and printmaker. It features iconic works from Weisberg’s artistic career - Waterborne (1973)\, A Year Passes (1985) and Questioning Veronese (2011) - where she explored the interconnectedness and continuity of successive generations. Anchored in themes of personal and familial memory\; ancestral knowledge embedded in her Jewish heritage\, and admiration for Western art history\, her unframed canvases\, and works on paper create liminal spaces that collapse the time and space\, where family\, friends from the present and past share space with great painters and Holocaust survivors and those who perished. The Shtetl\, A Journey and Memorial\, a limited- edition artist book that she wrote and illustrated comprising 9 intaglio prints in 1971\, lies at the heart of the exhibition. In it she paid homage to the small Jewish towns in Poland (where her ancestors are from) before the Holocaust. This significant work was a touchstone for her artistic and professional career as it propelled her move from Michigan to Los Angeles in 1969.\n \nBorn and raised in Chicago\, Weisberg moved to Ann Arbor to pursue her higher studies\, she completed her B.Ed (1964)\, after spending three years in Perugia\, Italy where she earned a Laurea di Belle Arti in 1962\, and MFA (1965). Since her arrival in Los Angeles\, Weisberg has been a formidable influence and mentor to decades of artists as an artist\, Professor of Fine Arts and former Dean at the University of Southern California Roski School of Art and Design. Weisberg was the Director of the USC Initiative for Israeli Arts and Humanities\, and the founder of the Jewish Artists Initiative of Southern California. Her first major survey in Los Angeles was in 1979 at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. She and Judy Chicago were the first two artists exhibited at The Women’s Building\, Los Angeles. Their solo exhibitions inaugurated that venue. Weisberg has had more than 80 solo exhibitions and nearly 200 group exhibitions internationally\, including a major exhibition at the Norton Simon Museum\, Pasadena and a retrospective\, at the Skirball Museum\, Los Angeles as well as a solo exhibition at the Huntington in San Marino. She is the recipient of many prestigious awards\, some notable ones are the Printmaker Emeritus Award from the Southern Graphic Council International in 2015 and the Foundation for Jewish Culture’s 50th Anniversary Cultural Achievement Award in 2011. She has been the recipient of the Art Leadership Award\, National Council of Art Administrators and the Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award\, 2009. Ruth Weisberg is represented by Jack Rutberg Fine Arts\, Los Angeles.\n \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:An Introduction to Big Data and Machine Learning for Survey Researchers and Social Scientists - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Big Data and Machine Learning for Survey Researchers and Social Scientists\n\nCourse open for registration!\nOpen to all!\n\nJuly 20-22\, 2022\n1:00pm – 5:00pm\nM/Th/F\n\nThe amount of data generated as a by-product in society is growing fast including data from satellites\, sensors\, transactions\, social media and smartphones\, just to name a few. Such data are often referred to as “big data”\, and can be used to create value in different areas such as health and crime prevention\, commerce and fraud detection.  An emerging practice in many areas is to append or link big data sources with more specific and smaller scale sources that often contain much more limited information.  This practice has been used for some time by survey researchers in constructing frames by appending auxiliary information that is often not directly available on the frame\, but can be obtained from an external source.   Using Big Data has the potential to go beyond the sampling phase for survey researchers and in fact has the potential to influence the social sciences in general.  Big Data is of interest for public opinion researchers and agencies that produce statistics to find alternative data sources either to reduce costs\, to improve estimates or to produce estimates in a more timely fashion. However\, Big Data pose several interesting and new challenges to survey researchers and social scientists among others who want to extract information from data. As Robert Groves (2012) pointedly commented\, the era is “appropriately called Big Data and not Big Information”\, because there is a lot of work for analysts before information can be gained from “auxiliary traces of some process that is going on in society.”\n\nThis course offers participants a broad overview of big data sources\, opportunities and examples motivated within the survey and social science contexts including the use of social media data\, para data and other such sources.  This course also offers a detailed\, practical introduction to four common machine learning methods that can be applied to big and small data alike at various aspects of a study’s lifecycle from design to nonresponse adjustments to propensity score matching to weighting and evaluation and analysis.  The machine learning methods will be demonstrated in R and we will provide several different examples of using these methods along with multiple packages in R that offer these methods.\n\nNot for academic credit\n\nInstructor: Trent Buskirk\n\nAll 2022 courses will be held in an alternative remote format.
