SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Shaping a Soft Future
DESCRIPTION:Existing devices—such as phones\, computers\, and robots – are made from rigid materials\, which is in direct contrast to the soft materials that compose the human body. Our group is studying and harnessing soft materials to create devices (actuators\, sensors\, electronics) with tissue-like properties. For example\, gallium-based liquid metal alloys have remarkable properties: low melting point\, water-like viscosity\, low-toxicity\, and effectively zero vapor pressure.  Despite being liquid\, these materials can be patterned into stretchable conductive circuits due to a thin\, oxide skin that forms rapidly on its surface. This oxide can also be separated from the metal as a way to print thin conductors and dielectrics at ambient conditions.  In addition to soft electronic conductors\, we study soft\, stretchable ionic conductors called ‘ionogels’ that contain ionic liquids. We have found simple ways to improve the toughness of these materials. Taken together this work has implications for soft and stretchable electronics\; that is\, devices with desirable mechanical properties for human-machine interfacing\, soft robotics\, and wearable electronics.

SUMMARY:Other:Crafting Meeting - Sew Spooky
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join us every Thursday from 4:30-5:30p for our crafting meeting! All skills are welcome with plenty of teachers and projects to start each week. If you have more questions\, please DM us on Instagram or email our Thursday meeting lead Calli:callil@umich.edu\nThis October the theme will be Sew Spooky\, where we will focus on creating Halloween costumes with sustainable materials! VIPs Club can support you with crocheting and sewing\, but not creating a costume from scratch. Some materials will be provided but we recommend bringing a costume you are already working on.\nTime: 4:30-5:30 pm\nLocation: North Campus Duderstadt Design Lab 1\nNonprofit Website: vipsfund.org\nInstagram: @vipsfund

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jennifer C. Hsieh\, \"Hearing with the state: Noise and Technologies of Post-authoritarian State Apprehension in Taiwan\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a guest lecture by Jennifer C. Hsieh\, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nSince the earliest implementation of noise-control regulations in 1920s New York City\, the governance of noise has exposed the gulf between the meaning and materiality of sound. Scholars of noise have argued that noise-control engineering ignores human hearing by measuring noise using quantitative values. While this assertion appears to close the chapter on the underlying contradictions of noise\, an examination of Taiwan's management of low-frequency noise – sounds that are perceptible to the ear but undetectable by decibel meters – suggests that noise remains a contested object in terms of its classification in bureaucratic systems and the handling capacity of infrastructure. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration and legislative records around the time of the 1980s democratic transition\, I analyze the techno-sensorial mediation between acoustic devices\, an apprehensive state apparatus\, and embodied citizen hearers that shift the socio-material relations of noise governance into a mode of \"hearing with the state\,” one that amplifies the postauthoritarian conditions of modern-day Taiwan.\n\nFACULTY BIO\n\nhttps://lsa.umich.edu/anthro/people/faculty/socio-cultural-faculty/jchsieh.html
