Julien, who is author of “Travels with Mae: Scenes from a New Orleans Girlhood,” is bringing a personal touch to “Arts of Survival” by loaning part of a collection of Mardi Gras regalia to the Mathers Museum of World Cultures for an exhibit beginning July 12.

171. HathiTrust Research Center: Opportunities for Large-Scale Text Analysis in the Social Sciences (21:38)

Main contributors:
Kouper, Inna
Summary:
Textual analytics creates opportunities to ask new questions or test existing theories through a new lens. The HathiTrust (HT) collection can be considered one of the largest academic libraries in the US. How can a researcher unlock many insights of this digital library? What kinds of social science questions it can help to address? The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) has been developing computational tools to leverage the HathiTrust collection and its metadata. In this presentation we will provide an overview of the HathiTrust digital library and the suite of tools from the HTRC and invite participants to think creatively about how a corpus of ~14 billion volumes of text can be useful to them.

172. Annunciation (05:00)

Date:
2016
Main contributors:
Lasater, Michael (artist)
Summary:
Annunciation is a video object operating within the aesthetic of painting. Each panel's background cycles through images sampled from an original digital abstract composition. One sees this composition in fragments across time controlled by an algorithm derived from 12-tone musical composition in which no fragment is repeated until all are shown. The motion background plays against and through the static black/white paired elements in the foreground, making them appear somewhat unstable. In the audio a noise sound floor supports a repeated claves + voice pair mirroring the motion + static structure of the video. The composition chases György Ligeti’s idea of using time to hold on to time, suspending its disappearance, confining it in the always present moment. –Michael Lasater

173. One, Two (09:38)

Date:
2016
Main contributors:
Lasater, Michael (artist)
Summary:
One, Two is a self-portrait. The image of me as a boy is split left and right, one side the echo of the other. In the audio, a single claves strike, doubled at the octave, mirrors the visual motif. The video, developing in multiple planes, and the audio, mirroring that development in multiple voices, express a time object – a moment continuously redefined – unified by its genesis in a single image, a single sound. One, Two is composed in Bogen (arch) form, a musical architecture. The piece begins in unity, develops to maximum complexity at mid-point, then resolves again to unity at the end. –Michael Lasater
