On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative\u2019s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, \u201c!!!techn010ffspring!!!\u201d critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates \u201ctechnoffsprings\u201d: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women\u2019s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \r\nTrained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius\u2019 machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women\u2019s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her \u201cdigital tinkerings\u201d tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce\u2014both personal and externalized through women\u2019s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems. \r\n\u201c!!!techn010ffspring!!!\u201d is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\r\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M\u2019s Department of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"109535-21822246@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/109535", "building_id":"1000183", "building_name":"Lane Hall", "campus_maps_id":"84", "room":"", "location_name":"Lane Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Diversity Equity and Inclusion","Exhibition","feminism","focus on women","institute for research on women and gender","Art","Arts Initiative","Engineering"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Institute for Research on Women and Gender", "group_id":"1031", "website":"http:\/\/irwg.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Women's and Gender Studies Department", "group_id":"2809", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/wgs" }, { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/08\/event_109535_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":82, "first_occurrence":21822148 } , "110034-21824060": { "datetime_modified":"20230810T102322", "datetime_start":"20231121T100000", "datetime_end":"20231121T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-11-21", "date_end":"2023-11-21", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Featured Exhibits", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Featured Exhibits: Molecules of Life (Student Showcase)", "event_subtitle":"Molecules of Life (Student Showcase)", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Stop by the Student Showcase display in the museum\u2019s main atrium, behind the mastodons, to see Molecules of Life.\r\n\r\nAugust 2023\u2013July 2024\r\n\r\nMolecules of Life (Student Showcase)\r\nDiscover the connection between form and function as you explore the molecular building blocks of life.
