SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Art in Warring States China (5th-3rd Century BC): Thinking Like a Designer
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/e7gRJ\n\nNew developments in the lacquer and silk workshops posed significant challenges to other medium\, causing a complete change of aesthetic during the Warring States period (5th-3rd century BC). Moreover\, because fine examples of lacquer and silk have actually survived from that time\, we can see what other materials copied from them. But the only reason we can recognize borrowings is that each material has a character of its own. The lecture will explore this two-sided phenomenon—the individual character of each workshop tradition and the exchanges between workshops—by looking at inlaid bronzes\, mirrors\, jades\, lacquers\, and silks\, using the problem of designing for a circular space as a case study to infer the thinking of designers working in each medium.\n\nWang Haicheng is Mary and Cheney Cowles Endowed Professor of Chinese art at the University of Washington\, Seattle. His research interest focuses on the comparative study of the art and archaeology of early China.  Recent publications include *Art and Artistic Thinking in Ancient China* (co-authored with Robert Bagley\, 2025) and a chapter on ancient states and the rise of writing in *The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology & Language* (2025).\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The DSI Reading Room | Smart as a City: The Politics of Test-Bed Urbanism
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a city to be \"smart\"? 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. This event will be a hybrid event with both a physical meeting space and an online meeting space.
