Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n UID:149541-21906601@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149541 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260803T090237 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260922T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260922T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Is Grad School a Good Move for My Career?

Smart as a City draws on ethnographic fieldwork in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where Google piloted a citywide gigabit network and city officials launched several smart city projects in the 2010s. Through cases including public-housing residents’ quiet refusal of “free” gigabit internet\, the city’s turn to predictive analytics that largely confirmed the obvious\, and public–private strategies for managing failure without naming it\, the book reframes test-bed urbanism as a mode of local governance that works through civic aspiration\, deliberate ignorance\, and municipal politics. It argues that urban disparities are not an unintended consequence of the smart city\; they are the foundation upon which it is built. \n\nThis event is in partnership with the Urban Tech Collective (UTC) at the University of Michigan’s Digital Studies Institute. UTC convenes U-M faculty and students from various disciplines investigating the imaginaries\, design\, and use of digital technologies within urban everyday life. UTC investigates topics related to physical and digital spaces\; mediated representations of urban space and urban communities\; digital rights and inequalities\; datafication\; urban intelligences\; and social change. The collective meets throughout the academic year to share research\, methodologies\, and best practices for the study of technology and urban life\, to host speakers\, and reimagine the role of urban technology scholarship\, design\, and policy in affecting more equitable\, sustainable futures. \n\nThe DSI Reading Room is a conversation series featuring new books by Digital Studies Institute faculty and guest authors. Through public discussions\, we explore emerging scholarship and the ideas shaping technology\, culture\, media\, and society. \n\nBurcu Baykurt is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her research explores how digital infrastructures reshape and perpetuate urban inequalities. She is the author of Smart as a City: The Politics of Test-Bed Urbanism and coeditor of Soft-Power Internationalism: Competing for Cultural Influence in the 21st-Century Global Order.\n\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all participants.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice. At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review and receive direct feedback from a panel of Stamps faculty members. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \n\nThe works in this year’s exhibition engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\n–Sally Clegg\, Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator & Pedram Baldari\, Assistant Professor\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n
