DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 5\, 2023\, 6–8 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to register\n\n\n\n\nIntended for all audiences\, visiting poet and researcher Laura Jaramillo will lead Visual Media for Poets\, on how to use visual media to write poetry\, even for people who have never written it. \nWhile many assume poetry is incomprehensible or not for them\, almost everyone has a favorite television show or movie that makes them feel things. This workshop takes those feelings as the material of the poem. \nParticipants will look at and discuss samples of written poetry that are in dialogue with the moving image such as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee and Tisa Bryant’s Unexplained Presence. We will pay special attention to how these writers use movement between image and text to draw out questions of biography and identity. \nSqueaky Wheel will provide journals and writing tools; bring your laptops\, but laptops can also be requested from Squeaky Wheel. Just bring yourselves! \nBio of the instructor \nLaura Jaramillo is a critic and poet working at the intersection of film and media theory\, lyrical poetry\, and essay.

She is the author of two books of poetry\, Material Girl (subpress\, 2012) and Making Water (Futurepoem\, 2022). Her writings on film and contemporary media have appeared in JumpCut\, Feminist Media Histories\, and IndyWeek. She is currently at work on a book of essays about the death and rebirth of Colombian cinema during the neoliberal era. \nSqueaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of Governor and the New York State Legislature\, and individual members\, businesses\, and supporters.

SUMMARY:Intro to Motion Capture for VR with Eric Souther and Yunda Sun
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 20\, 2022\, 1–4 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to register\nInstructor: Eric Souther\, IEA Media Arts Project Director & Associate Professor of Video Art assisted by Yunda Sun\, EA Research Associate \nLed by former Workspace Resident Eric Souther\, this hands-on workshop will introduce the creative uses of motion capture and 3D scanning for the creation of immersive experiences. Motion capture allows anyone to animate a humanoid avatar with the simple movement of their body in real-time. This allows for the performative and rapid development of animations for use in game engines\, augmented reality applications\, and virtual film production. 3D scanning allows creators to easily create digital models from physical objects. This workshop will focus on the creative use of these technologies for the creation of VR experiences within the Unreal 5 Game Engine. \n* Workshop space is limited. Masks required. Free masks are available. \nBio of the instructors \nEric Souther is a new media artist who draws from a multiplicity of disciplines\, including anthropology\, linguistics\, ritual\, critical theory\, and New Materialism. He develops video instruments that investigate technological & cultural ecologies\, agency\, and emergence. He looks for new ways of seeing beyond the seductive qualities of an image\, and to find unseen connections that help us understand our digital and non-digital existence. His work takes many pathways\, which include single-channel video\, interactive installation\, projection mapping\, print\, virtual reality\, and audiovisual performance. \nHis work has been featured nationally and internationally at venues such as the Museum of Art and Design\, NYC\, Everson Museum of Art\, Syracuse\, NY\, and the Museum of Art\, Zhangzhou\, China. His work has screened in The Athens Digital Arts Festival\, Athens\, Greece\, Istanbul International Experimental Film Festival\, Beyoglu\, Istanbul\, Cronosfera Festival\, Alessandria\, Italy\, the Galerija 12 New Media Hub\, Belgrade\, Serbia\, the Simultan Festival\, Timisoara\, Romania\, and the Festival ECRÃ of Audiovisual Experimentations\, Rio de Janeiro. \nIn 2016\, Eric won the Juried Award for Time-Based at the international art competition ArtPrize. He received his B.F.A. in New Media from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2009 and his M.F.A. in Electronic Integrated Arts from the New York State School of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2011. He currently is an Associate Professor of Video Art in the Division of Expanded Media at NYSCC at Alfred University. \n\nThis project is made possible with funds from the NYSCA in Partnership with Wave Farm: Immersive Art & Technology Initiative\, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \nImage courtesy of Eric Souther.

SUMMARY:Generating Sounds Collaboratively with Crystal Z Campbell
DESCRIPTION:*New date* Tuesday\, August 24\, 2021\, 6 pm\nFree or pay what you can\nRegister here. Limited capacity.\nCrystal Z Campbell will lead Generating Sounds Collaboratively\, a participatory sound workshop where attendees will generate new sound and reinterpret iconic music that will be featured in the artists upcoming film SLICK.

This event will be recorded. \nBio of the artist \nCrystal Z Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist\, experimental filmmaker\, and writer of Black\, Filipino\, and Chinese descents. Campbell finds complexity in public secrets—rumored information known by many but undertold or unspoken. Recent works revisit questions of immortality and medical ethics with Henrietta Lacks’s “immortal” cell line\, ponder the role of a political monument and displacement in a Swedish coastal landscape\, and salvage a 35mm film from a demolished Black activist theater in Brooklyn as a relic of gentrification. Campbell is a Harvard Radcliffe Film Study Center & David and Roberta Logie Fellow (2020-2021) living and working in Oklahoma\, and founder of archiveacts.com. Campbell was recently named a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts. \nThis event is part of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency. To find out more about the program\, click here.

SUMMARY:Starting with Access: Where a Film Begins with Jordan Lord
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 23\, 2021\, 6 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can.\nRegister here. Limited capacity.\nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and live-captions will be available.\nNew and experienced filmmakers are invited to a private workshop to learn critical concepts to creatively integrate forms of accessibility for disabled audiences into their films. Forms of access are usually treated as so-called “accommodations\,” left to third-party service providers to perform after a film or video has been completed. Understanding access as a way in or a means of approach\, participants will be asked to reimagine their creative process beginning with access as the first step in conceiving what a film is and how it will communicate with its audiences. \nWorkshop participants will be invited to frame access at intersections of disability\, race\, language\, class\, and gender\, while primarily focusing on two more-or-less codified access technologies––audio description (AD) for Blind\, low vision\, and other audiences and captioning for Deaf\, hard-of-hearing\, and other audiences.  \nLord will present examples of how disabled filmmakers have used access as integrated formal tools in their films\, while working through critical questions that emerge around practices of audio description and captioning––asking how the access needs of our audiences might guide our approaches to filmmaking. These complex and layered forms of communication are often presented as apparently neutral translations of images and sounds. But\, of course\, as numerous Blind\, Deaf\, and disabled audiences\, artists\, and activists have shown\, these translations are anything but neutral and often render segregation\, censorship\, and insufficient information\, while presenting manifold possibilities as creative and artistic tools.  \nBio of the artist \nJordan Lord is a filmmaker\, writer\, and artist\, working primarily in video\, text\, and performance. Their work addresses the relationships between historical and emotional debts\, framing and support\, access and documentary.

SUMMARY:Distributed Technology for Digital Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 26\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation.\nThis is an online event. Upon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to participate in the workshop. Attendance is limited. If the event reaches capacity\, you can sign up for the waitlist and be notified if there are any openings.\nRegister here. \nHow do distributed technologies\, peer-to-peer\, and blockchain-based currencies provide corrective measures to ailing economic and political systems? To what extent do these new technologies re-inforce the same power dynamics and abuses as our current systems? \nIn this skill-share\, Eric Barry Drasin will introduce projects that use decentralized technologies to affect progressive social change. Drasin will discuss projects such as Bailbloc\, which mines cryptocurrency to pay for bail funds; CirclesUBI\, which attempts to create a mutual credit solidarity economy; and discuss how blockchain technology has exacerbated the economic and political conditions it was supposed to disrupt. \nAfter his introduction\, audiences will be randomly set in two Zoom breakout rooms to discuss the potential of such technology. Upon the end of the discussion\, Drasin will lead a participatory demonstration of quadratic voting through Google Sheets. Audiences are welcome to participate or simply attend. \nThis skill-share is open to all interested in blockchain as a collaborative tool. Want to learn more about blockchain before the skill-share? Click here for an introductory lecture by the artist. \nThe workshop will be held over Zoom and utilize Google Sheets\, which requires a Google account. If you are encountering any issues accessing the event\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nEric Barry Drasin is a research-based artist exploring the relationship between art and systems of value. Through emerging blockchain technologies\, his current research explores “distributed” processes\, objects\, and organizations that problematize and reprogram fundamental assumptions about how value is constructed and disseminated. Using contracts and legal frameworks as a platform for enacting collectivity\, his work injects cooperation and utopian absurdity into systems designed to consolidate power. The notion of the art object is rematerialized in digital space and expanded to engage notions of cultural production and collective agency. Value is thus performed as a form of disruption\, and capitalism itself is the terrain for the refiguration of the economic landscape. \nSqueaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is a bi-yearly residency open to artists and researchers working in art and technology. The program is supported by generous support by the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts\, and individual members\, businesses\, and supporters. For more information about the program\, click here.
