The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.* UID:123255-21850624@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123255 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,Exhibition,Feminism,Gender,Humanities,LGBT,visual arts LOCATION:Thayer Academic Building - Institute for the Humanities Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T123234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Amazon Warehouse Virtual Information Session: Hourly roles DESCRIPTION:Amazon Hiring Info Session-Building and supporting an inclusive workforce in our Hourly Roles. \;Come learn about our entry-level warehouse associate positions and celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month with us!. \;No resume or experience necessary.

It contains unique works of ancient Greek philosophy and Roman literature. Many of the 800 papyrus-rolls were opened physically (and thereby badly damaged)\, but around 270 scrolls or parts of them survive in their original condition\, being too fragile to be opened. \n\nSince 2005\, computer scientist Brent Seales has toiled to discover a way to recover their texts without damaging them. His work entailed using CT technology to separate and flatten digitally the successive circumferences and “unroll” the papyrus digitally on screen. The next problem was how to recognize the ink. The latter problem was resolved in 2024 by Casey Craig’s recognition of ‘crackle’ and then the application of Machine Learning. Upon the initiative of Nat Friedman\, who established the Vesuvius Challenge\, and with contributions from many members of the international AI community\, three contestants\, Luke Farritor\, Youssef Nader\, and Julian Schilliger\, won the Grand Prize by producing legible images of Greek text of 16 columns from a roll that is preserved in Paris and was scanned with the Diamond Light Source at Oxford. \n\nAnother Grand Prize has been offered for 2024\, focused on recovering the text from all four scrolls that are in Paris. This one-day conference is timed to bring together papyrologists and experts in Artificial Intelligence to review the progress that has been made\, consider how to address the problems that remain\, and to discuss future directions\, including the potential for the use of AI in work on other collections of damaged manuscripts and in the humanities more widely. On the following day there will be a workshop to exchange ideas. Solutions to present problems and possible future directions may be clarified by a visit to the unique collections housed in the University of Michigan (807 Hatcher Library)\, which include Egyptian\, Greek\, Latin\, Coptic\, and Arabic writings on papyrus\, parchment\, wood\, lead\, waxed tablets\, and potsherds\, Medieval Greek manuscripts on parchment and paper\, and Islamic manuscripts on paper.\n\nVisit our event page for more information: https://midas.umich.edu/vesuvius-scrolls-from-ancient-manuscripts-to-artificial-intelligence/ UID:123708-21851390@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123708 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Greece,Ancient Rome,Classical Studies,conference,Humanities,Interdisciplinary,Language,Literature,symposium LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
