SUMMARY:Sonic Links: An Introduction to Networked Performance with Rob Cosgrove
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 17\, 2022\, 6–8 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to register\nInstructor: Rob Cosgrove \nRob Cosgrove will lead Sonic Links: An Introduction to Networked Performance\, a workshop on how to utilize the internet and other networks for sound production. Intended for participants both new and with intermediate experience in broadcasting online\, the workshop will prepare participants for high-fidelity sound-based networked performance and live-streaming over the web using free\, open-source softwares.  \nUp until recently\, tools for networked performance could be expensive\, difficult to use\, and limited to institutions with access to high-speed internet. With the rise of residential internet speeds\, the development of more user-friendly networking applications\, and increased public access to technology\, networked performance has become available for many. \n* Workshop space is limited. Masks required. Free masks are available.  \nBio of the instructor \nRob Cosgrove is a percussionist\, composer\, and artist interested in creating embodied sounding through intermedia installations and performances. His works explore the feeling of a sound as a tactile\, visual\, and visceral entity by investigating the peripheries of sonic experience and the ways these contexts affect our perception. Rob has exhibited / performed at Pioneer Works (Brooklyn)\, Harvestworks (Manhattan)\, Chicago Design Museum (Chicago)\, National Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.)\, Coaxial (Los Angeles)\, Eastern Bloc (Montréal)\, DOX Centre for Contemporary Art (Prague)\, and KM28 (Berlin). Rob is a member of Ensemble Decipher and most recently completed residencies at Practice Gallery (Philadelphia) and the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (Troy). \nSqueaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is a residency open to artists and researchers working in art and technology\, and provides support for new or ongoing projects in collaboration with our partners. Workspace Residency is supported by generous support 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.  \nImage: Rob Cosgrove\, Broadcast presence (2021).

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. Participants will learn creative strategies for sound design\, including foley sounds\, vocals\, and the specific ways sound can be a critical component of a film. 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. Their video and performance work has been shown internationally at venues including MoMA\, ARGOS\, Camden Arts Centre\, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts\, and Performance Space NY (as part of the festival “I wanna be with you everywhere”). Their exhibition “Prophetic Memory” is currently in-progress online and at various sites via Artists Space (New York\, NY). They teach at Hunter College\, CUNY (New York). \nThis event is part of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Live Mirror\, Camera Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Explore the choreographic possibilities of integrating live and virtual performers in projection with artist and Workspace resident Avye Alexandres. Participants will be introduced to theatrical mirroring exercises in combination with Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints method for devising gestures and improvising in real time. Individuals will develop a repetitive gesture\, and then adapt it for video. Finally participants will explore interactions between their recorded media and the live performer. \nTactics in this workshop promote versatility of artistic interpretation\, and may be adapted to any style of performance. Participants will gain tools to expand their instincts into performative actions. \nAreas of focus will be: camera framing for live performance and particularly the Viewpoints elements of tempo\, shape\, duration\, kinesthetic response and architecture. \n\nAvye Alexandres was born in Athens\, Greece\, and moved to the United States at the age of six. Her multidisciplinary art practice\, which investigates the psychosocial ramifications of structures and space\, stems from her background in photography and theatre. Evolving from site-based performances her work now encompasses immersive sculpture\, locative media\, experimental digital narratives\, conceptual works\, photography and video\, as well as participatory experiences and installations. In 2015\, she received her MFA in Art and Emerging Practices from the University at Buffalo\, and has exhibited at venues such as the Burchfield Penney Art Center\, The Soap Factory\, IFP-MN Center for Media Arts\, and the Weismann Art Museum.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the program\nWorkspace Residency is a unique artist residency which supports local\, regional and national media artists and researchers who are working on projects in film\, video\, audio\, interactive media and emerging technologies in any stage of production. Founded in 2016 by Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center in Buffalo\, New York\, in collaboration with local partners Buffalo Game Space\, The Foundry\, and Silo City\, the residency provides support through equipment\, facilities\, and technical support for artists experimenting across a range of old and new technologies\, such as video\, sound\, digital platforms\, interactivity\, virtual reality\, and 3D printing. Community outreach and public engagement components include presentation and education activities. \nWorkspace Residency is made possible with generous support from the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Art and the Documentary Turn with Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith
DESCRIPTION:Art and the Documentary Turn with Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith\nWednesday\, August 16th\, 7-9pm\n$7 members / $10 general \nLed by Workspace residents Rachael Rakes and Leo Goldsmith\, this lecture / processual seminar considers the post-1990s “documentary turn” within contemporary art\, taking on coextensive pivots in non-fiction cinema towards a language of video art and installation\, from a variety of historical\, curatorial\, and critical perspectives. In addition to looking at examples in moving-image media\, the seminar touches upon artists working with still images\, objects\, performance\, sound\, interactivity\, and activism as documentary practice. Rakes and Goldsmith will discuss the relative discourses of documentary media and the art world\, consider the relationship between the traditions of art\, documentary\, archival research\, and journalism\, and raise issues of presentation\, contextualization\, and preservation for curators and artists alike in the current regime of contemporary art and neoliberal politics. The seminar will touch upon issues of production and exhibition of all forms of documentary art practice\, and also consider the politics and ethics of art-making in the social realm. This event should be of of interest to artists\, filmmakers\, curators\, activists\, writers\, and anyone interested in media and social practice. \nRachael Rakes is a curator\, critic\, film programmer\, and teacher. She was recently a Fellow at Art Center/South Florida\, and a Curator-in-Residence in the CPR: Mexico program.
