SUMMARY:Postponed: Place & Process: Video Experiments with Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:This class has been postponed.\nIf you are interested in receiving email updates about the new dates\, please contact caroline@squeaky.org\n\nSaturdays\, May 24 & 31\n12-4pm\n$175 (10% discount for members. Scholarships may be available – email caroline@squeaky.org for info) \n  \nIn this two session\, process-focused workshop\, participants will meet with artist and educator Jodi Lynn Maracle\, Tyendinaga Mohawk and Polish/Irish settler descent\, to produce a short film based on relationship to place. We will develop a practice of connecting with specific places while recording video and audio\, helping us to stay physically and mentally present. We’ll utilize all of our senses – from sight\, to sound\, to touch\, to smell – and we are just as interested in the process and experience of physically being in a specific location as we are in the final product. \nFor the first class\, on Saturday May 24\, we will meet briefly at Squeaky Wheel\, where Jodi will share their work and give insight into their art practice. Then we will travel together to Woodlawn Beach\, where we will consciously engage with the site\, recording video and audio with personal smartphones and digital cameras. Participants are encouraged to bring any recording equipment they have as well as notebooks\, writing utensils and weather appropriate clothing. \nDuring the week between classes\, participants are encouraged to apply what they learn with Jodi to a place that is personal to them\, in order to gather additional footage and audio. \nThe second session\, on May 31\, will be held at Squeaky Wheel\, where we will begin reviewing and editing the footage gathered during our time at Woodlawn on the first day\, as well as additional materials gathered independently. \nTogether we will consider:\nWhat does it mean to slow down and become fully present in a specific place?\nHow does this translate to an audio and video based practice?\nWhat do we experience in our bodies in specific locations that can inform both our practice and our product?\nHow can we deepen our relationship with place through a process of slow and thoughtful observation – observation of specific sites and observation of ourselves? \n  \nClass limited to 8 students. No video editing experience is required\, but participants should be open to experimentation\, comfortable using smartphone cameras\, and confident using a computer. Squeaky Wheel’s classroom is outfitted with Mac desktop computers. \n  \nQuestions? email caroline@squeaky.org or call 716-884-7172 \n  \nInstructor bio: \n \nJodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka/settler artist\, language teacher\, parent and hide tanner. Born and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, their work is influenced as much by an upbringing in Western New York as it is by Kanien’keha:ka culture\, language and material objects. Jodi’s work centers reclamation of space and memory in the face of settler-colonial occupation through contemporary representations of Indigenous cultural legacies and lived realities. Jodi blends traditional Haudenosaunee skills\, symbols\, forms\, and language with modern forms of making to articulate historical and contemporary relationships to place\, land\, and community.

SUMMARY:Interactive Video: Intro to Touchdesigner
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm\nMay 20-29 (4 classes\, 8 hours of instruction)\n$175 (10% discount for members. Not yet a member? Click here for details)\nopen to ages 16+\nRegister with the “tickets” button at the bottom of this page\n  \n \n  \nIn this hands-on digital video workshop\, we’ll explore how to recreate psychedelic video effects inspired by the experimental video artists of the 60s and 70s. Using the free version of TouchDesigner\, you’ll learn how to manipulate video in real time\, creating dynamic and abstract visuals. This workshop doesn’t require any previous coding experience—just a curious mind and a willingness to play.  \nSqueaky Wheel’s classroom is outfitted with Mac computers. If would like to bring your own laptop\, please download and install Touchdesigner before class. You can find it at this link. \nClass limited to 8 participants. \nContact Caroline at caroline@squeaky.org or (716) 884-7172 with any questions! \nInstructors: Jason Geistweidt and James Pardue \n  \nJASON E GEISTWEIDT is an intermedia artist working at the nexus of music technology\, physical computing\, creative coding\, networked systems\, digital fabrication\, interactive installation\, and performance. Grounding his research is the use of purpose-built tools and systems for generating media via procedural\, yet aleatoric or otherwise chance methodologies. Conceptually his work plays with ideas of control\, intention\, and expectation within the creative process. His approach is experimental\, interconnecting disparate systems in a desire to make the intangible — data\, networks\, computation\, and the like — tangible through their transduction into objects\, events\, and experiences. \nJAMES PARDUE is an experimental multimedia artist and researcher based in Buffalo\, NY. His work incorporates old and emerging forms of electronic media\, such as video and audio synthesis\, physical computing\, and generative imagery in real-time multimedia performances and installations. Through his work\, he experiments with interaction between generated electronic phenomena and the tangible world\, with the intent to reimagine a more democratic relationship with media. Pardue’s research delves into alternative media histories\, such as experimental television and variances in computation\, to advocate for resistance against technological determinism. Currently\, he is an MFA candidate in the Department of Media Study at SUNY Buffalo.

SUMMARY:NEW DATE: Afternoon Filmmaking Workshop: Dreams\, Objects\, and Memoir
DESCRIPTION:April 30 – May 23\nWednesdays and Friday\, 1–3:30 pm (4 weeks\, 8 sessions)\n$30 members/$60 nonmembers\n(scholarships available! email caroline@squeaky.org)\nWe are excited to announce this weekday afternoon workshop for older adults. The workshop is open to students of all levels. \nIn this playful and experimental video workshop for older adults (ages 55+)\, participants will create short films inspired by memories\, personal artifacts (objects\, photographs\, etc)\, and dreams. Participants will work individually and collaboratively to record and edit sound and video\, learning fundamental skills while exploring the artistic potential of free association\, repetition\, and layering. The instructor will guide students of all levels in using smartphone cameras\, audio recorders\, and video editing software. The resulting short films may question the line between dream and memory or lead to a narrative story. The workshop will end with a screening and celebration of the finished work.  \n  \nNo filmmaking experience is required\, but participants should be confident using a computer. The primary software used will be Adobe Premiere Rush\, an intro video editor with a free version. Students with prior experience using Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro may opt to use those instead.  \n  \n*While this session has some similarities to the Dreams\, Gestures\, and Memoir filmmaking workshop Avye taught in winter of 2023\, much will be new\, and returning students are welcome to attend.  \n  \nAll equipment provided. Squeaky Wheel’s computer lab is outfitted with Apple desktop and laptop computers. Space limited to 8 participants. \nScroll down to “Get Tickets’ to register\, or contact Caroline at caroline@squeaky.org or (716) 884-7172 with any questions. Not yet a member?

SUMMARY:Collage Aesthetics: Working With Found Footage with Sue Ding

Open to ages 16+\nRegister below\nIn this special seminar with visiting artist Sue Ding (Los Angeles\, CA)\, participants will learn about creative strategies for working with photographic and moving image archival\, with a focus on popular media.

Her work explores race\, gender\, and diaspora through the lens of visual culture. In her research-based practice\, she emphasizes process\, form\, and deep readings of both media and landscapes. Sue’s work has screened internationally at venues including SXSW\, IDFA\, Antimatter [Media Art]\, and Copenhagen Contemporary\, and can be found on platforms including PBS\, Netflix\, and The New York Times.

The time spent together will determine the parameters and scope of the book. We will share and invent tools\, practices\, resources\, and frameworks for community support and collaboration. While the guide might be speculative\, the skills developed and communal networks formed will be extremely real and practical. \nPlease note the unusual schedule of this workshop: the first two classes are Sat/Sun back to back. After this intensive weekend\, participants will work for two weeks on their own or in Squeaky’s media lab to further develop their ideas and page layouts. During the third and final class\, the collaborative layout will be finalized and sent to print! \nCome with objects\, images\, and texts that might be useful for community survival. \nClass size limited to 10 students. All equipment provided\, no experience necessary. Class fee includes one printed copy of the collaborative book; additional copies may be ordered directly. \n  \nInstructor: Jake Reber \nJake is a writer\, artist\, and educator living in Buffalo\, NY. He also co-curates Hysterically Real\, and is an editor for Recreational Resources. \nIn both writing and research\, Jake explores the edges of textual materiality\, experimental poetics\, database aesthetics and glitch studies.

SUMMARY:16mm Film in the Darkroom: Rayographs with Carl Lee
DESCRIPTION:Sunday November 3\n12pm-4pm\n$120 (10%discount for members)\n  \nJoin us for another experimental 16mm film workshop in the darkroom\, led by filmmaker Carl Lee!  Dive into the art of rayographs—also known as photograms—using black and white 16mm motion picture film. \nIn this special one-day hands-on experience\, you’ll explore the world of camera-less filmmaking by exposing intriguing found objects on strips of film with photo enlargers. Then\, you’ll roll up your sleeves and hand-process your creations in the darkroom\, bringing your experiments to life. \nBut that’s not all! You’ll also learn to use a film splicer\, allowing you to weave your film strips together into a short film. The workshop will culminate in a film screening\, where you can showcase your work and see how your ideas transform on the big screen. \nDon’t miss this chance to experiment\, create\, and connect with fellow artists in a fun and supportive environment. \nNOTE: This workshop is very hands-on and potentially a little splashy\, so dress appropriately (gloves and aprons will be provided\, but please don’t wear your favorite outfit!) \nAll equipment and materials will be provided. We will have a collection of found objects to experiment with\, and participants are invited to bring personal objects as well. We will meet in the darkroom in Upton Hall at Buffalo State University. More info and arrival instructions will be provided after registration. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \nInstructor Bio: \nCarl Lee is a media artist based in Buffalo\, NY. Since the 1990s he has been making films\, videos\, and multi-channel installations that explore the built environment and personal spaces\, perception\, and the precarity of images on our screens and in our heads. His most recent work\, Unity Island\, a three-screen installation shot on 16mm film\, is a personal exploration of a unique\, multi-layered piece of land situated between the Niagara River and Black Rock Canal in Buffalo\, NY. His work has been screened and exhibited nationally and internationally.  \nhttp://carljlee.com \n  \nAll images courtesy Carl Lee

Sage leaves from a volunteer plant in the artists garden are harvested\, soaked in vitamin C and sodium carbonate\, placed on undeveloped black and white film and left in the sun. The leaves print themselves onto the film which is revealed when the film is run through a weak fixer.
