December 16th, 202112/16/2021 Welcome back to our Artist Showcase Series! 📢 🥳 🎨
Meet Delta_Ark @delta.ark Delta_Ark is an experimental atelier concerned with media, computation and life science, broadly defined. The work from the 2010-2020 portfolio was thematically focused on political issues of land-use, inequality and sustainability and their rendering into informative literary installations for architectural facades. e.g. “The Beacon” was an intervention for Occupy Wall St., where protesters’ testimonies were remixed into poetry and projected onto a tent wall at an encampment. During this period, the studio also produced a software/hardware kit that allowed an operator to scrape/reconfigure geo-located language from the web and re-project it in real time back onto the city. The 2020-2030 pieces will primarily be focused on interactions between players and agents in VR, MR and cyber-physical systems (like drones). e.g., “Gevurah,” is a VR multiplayer human-swarm interaction simulator, meant to give indications about the promises and perils of artificial intelligence (and intelligence augmentation). The studio is also currently working on WebXR-Agents, a software platform that will allow webxr-developers to deploy gameAIs and artificial life agents into their environments.

Madness Festival Oct 28-Nov 710/28/2021 Repost @workmanartsto
The Rendezvous with Madness Festival is the first and largest arts and mental health festival in the world. Using art as the entry point to illuminate and investigate the realities and mythologies surrounding mental illness and addiction, Rendezvous With Madness’ 2021 programming spotlights the human capacity for endurance in the face of great challenges. As community members are feeling the emotional effects of months of isolation, income precarity, and anxiety over what the future holds, the Rendezvous With Madness Festival offers a unique opportunity to come together in reflection and discussion. The Festival runs October 28 – November 7, 2021 and showcases a range of feature and short films from around the globe, as well as the In(site) Exhibition, and the production of Rosa Laborde’s True.
