Living a Digital Life winter symposium: Environments (March 22, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59519 59519-14748078@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This event will be live streamed on the Facebook page of the Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning: https://www.facebook.com/taubmancollege.

  Today, we live inside the digital. Increasingly, our public and private lives are conducted online and in digital space where our relationships are forged, nurtured, or deleted, where our bills are paid and finances tracked, and where our ideologies are fed and our politics balkanized by our respective media bubbles. And while the digital now constitutes more and more of our daily routines, it can also offer a distorting abstraction of “external life.” Swiping left is easier than breaking up, and even the most civil among us can become an entitled consumer on Yelp. At once, our digital environments offer new grounds for engagement and interaction, and immersive venues for escape from the exigencies of the outside world. This session will discuss this dialectic.   Panelists will include Aubrey Anable (Carleton University), Amy Kulper (Rhode Island School of Design), and Jose Sanchez (University of Southern California). Join us for presentations and a discussion about the digital as both a totalizing environment unto itself – a bubble apart from the external lifeworld – and a new venue for social organization and engagement.

 

2:00-2:15 Introduction 2:15-3:30 Presentations by panelists 3:30-4:10 Discussion 4:15-4:30 Intermission 4:30-5:15 Guided tour of Art In the Age of the Internet, 1990 to Today 5:15-6:00 Discussion & Closing  Aubrey Anable

Aubrey Anable is an Assistant Professor in the School for Studies in Art and Culture at Carleton University in Ottawa. Aubrey’s research examines digital aesthetics, video games, and virtual reality in conversation with feminist and queer theory. Her book Playing with Feelings: Video Games and Affect (University of Minnesota Press, 2018) provides an account of how video games compel us to play and why they constitute a contemporary structure of feeling emerging alongside the last sixty years of computerized living. She’s an advisory editor for the journal Camera Obscura and is currently co-editing The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Visual Culture.

Jose Sanchez

Jose Sanchez is an Architect / Programmer / Game Designer based in Los Angeles, California. He is the director of the Plethora Project, a research and learning project investing in the future of on-line open-source knowledge. He is also the creator of Block’hood, an award-winning city building video game exploring notions of crowdsourced urbanism. He has taught and guest lectured in several renowned institutions across the world, including the Architectural Association in London, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London.

Today, he is an Assistant Professor at USC School of Architecture in Los Angeles. His research ‘Gamescapes’, explores generative interfaces in the form of video games, speculating in modes of intelligence augmentation, combinatorics and open systems as a design medium.

Amy Kulper

Amy Catania Kulper is an architectural educator whose teaching and research focus on the intersections of history, theory, and criticism with design. Throughout her career, Kulper has taught at Cambridge University, the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, SCI_Arc, the University of Michigan, and RISD where she is currently an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Architecture. In her time in Ann Arbor, she was a four-time recipient of the Donna M. Salzer Award for teaching excellence.

Kulper’s writings are published in Log, The Journal of Architecture, arq: Architectural Research Quarterly, Candide, The Journal of Architectural Education, and numerous edited volumes. Kulper has served on the editorial board of the Journal of Architectural Education where she has acted as the Design Editor for six years. In March of 2017 she received the Distinguished Service Award from the ACSA for her work on the journal. Kulper holds master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Cambridge University and a Ph.D. in the History and Philosophy of Architecture from Cambridge University.

Stuart Baggaley has taught his modified and simplified version of the game at many venues. He is a British World War II veteran (RAF) who emigrated from Norway in 1957, leaving the Fulbright Foundation in Oslo. He retired from UM Medical School (Anatomy) in 1990. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and will meet Tuesdays, 1:00 - 3:00, March 26 - April 23.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Consider art from a new and irreverent angle.

With humor, contemporary pop culture references, and possibly games, these tours will be lively and entertaining, not necessarily enlightening. Join the fun and add your voice to these diverting episodes in the galleries. Meet at the UMMA Store.

The Queer Art of Dying in Video Games (April 15, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62308 62308-15346468@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 15, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

What can video games teach us about death and dying in the real world? Amanda Phillips, assistant professor of English, Film & Media Studies at Georgetown University, looks at the queer bodily configurations that emerge from dying in video games, from unnaturally flexible ragdoll physics to invasive and spectacular x-ray visions.

Examining the queer art of dying in video games helps us think about how power is written on the digital body through the norming procedures that structure both computers and games. From there, we can find new ways to think about the politics of life and death in the real world.

Black Women's Gaming Practices as Intersectional Counterpublics (October 24, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64249 64249-16266503@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 24, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

"I am unable to detangle, in any analytic or actual way, my gender, race, or sexuality from the vitriol and symbolic violence levied upon me after the discovery of my physical identities in digital spaces." Misogynoir, a core facet of Black feminist discourse and an integral part of intersectionality, acknowledges that Black women’s experiences inside the matrix of domination is echoed by the many ways that Black women are dehumanized in popular culture. Misogynoir also expands the scope of examination and provides an inclusive focus on not just anti-Blackness and White supremacy, but also intraracially, in exploring how Black masculinity and Black patriarchy contribute to the objectification of Black women. To gain a sense of the interracial and intraracial experiences of Black women in gaming, this talk will interrogate ethnographic observations and interviews with Black women and other women of color in online gaming communities. While these examples highlight the continued devaluation of women in public spaces, my observational narratives weave together a simultaneous engagement with being a Black woman while online, while gaming, and while consuming mediated content about Black women in “the real world.” This transmediated engagement illustrates intersectional tech,
exploring the entanglements of visual, textual, and oral engagements of the Black body in both the digital and physical realms.

American Mah Jongg for the Novice (November 4, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64587 64587-16388957@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 4, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Don’t know your Bam from your Crak? Then come learn American Mah Jongg. American Mah Jongg is a fascinating and rewarding game of skill and chance. It was originally brought to this country in the 1920s by Standard Oil executive Joseph Babcock, who rewrote and simplified the rules, forever distinguishing the game from the traditional version. If you have wanted to learn to play American Mah Jongg or are just curious about the game, and are 50 and over, this is the course for you. You will learn to recognize the tiles, read and understand the “hands”, and practice playing with ongoing review and support.

The course will meet Mondays from 1-3pm from November 4 through December 2 (no class on November 25). The course is taught by Instructor Miriam Shaw, an expert player of many years’ experience. The purchase of a current Mah Jongg card is included in the class price.

The Telling It internship opportunities provided by these two courses bridges the academic and neighboring communities. Each Telling It site is led by a site leader and a social worker along with a trained support team and visiting artists. As a result of their experience, many U-M students express a desire to continue their commitment to social justice through a career that involves community service.
