SUMMARY:Johann Diedrick's Prelude to Wake
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 4\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree and suggested donation\nUpon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to view the event. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125.\nClick here to register \nJohann Diedrick’s Prelude to Wake is a ~20 minute\, urgent\, mournful\, and world-building sonic performance that centers the loss of ourselves and environments due to climate change. The work is performed by a fictional character named “The Sound Collector” who collects buried vibrations and releases them from material through an ancient technological device. Combining field recordings\, original music composition\, and generative audio techniques\, Prelude to Wake stages an encounter between the audience\, a past that we are losing due to catastrophe\, and what may exist in the future. \nThis digital\, online performance is transmitted digitally from Tortoise Town in Brooklyn\, NY. The artist’s original proposal – titled Wake – was a site-specific\, in-person performance at Silo City’s Marina A\, set as an encounter between the Sound Collector and the histories and ecology of the Buffalo River. Due to the pandemic\, his in-person performance in Buffalo is tentatively rescheduled for late Spring 2021. \nAudiences will be able to participate in a Q&A with the artist through Google Docs at 7:30 pm ET. \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures that allow you to explore the world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space\, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours\, workshops\, and open-source hardware/software. He was a Spring 2020 technology artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works and a recipient of a 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council. Along with receiving an Asian Cultural Council grant\, his work has been featured in Wire Magazine\, Musicworks Magazine\, and presented at MoMA PS1 (in collaboration with Jonathan González)\, Somerset House (London\, UK)\, Social Kitchen (Kyoto\, Japan)\, Common Ground (Berlin\, Germany)\, Recess (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Knockdown Center (Queens\, NY)\, and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NY). \nWorkspace Residency 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. Special thanks to Scribe Video Center.

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.

SUMMARY:Meet our Residents: Emily Watlington\, Eric Drasin\, Jenson Leonard\, Johann Diedrick
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 22\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation. Registration required.\nThis is an online event. Upon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to view the event. Automatic captioning will be provided. \nRegister here \nJoin Squeaky Wheel for a chance to meet our Summer 2020 Workspace Residents and learn more about their past and ongoing projects in this evening of artist talks. \nDuring their residency\, Emily Watlington will be working on a chapter for a book on accessibility as an artistic medium\, focusing on artistic uses of closed captioning. Eric Barry Drasin will be researching digital art cooperatives vis a vis distributed technologies\, online communities spaces\, experimental finance\, and alternative forms of governance. Jenson Leonard will be filming and editing Workflow\, an installation centered around the velocity and momentum of blackness (historically and as imagined online) as it relates to the philosophical concept of acceleration-the idea that the only way out of capitalism is through its intensification. Johann Diedrick will be composing music for Wake\, an hour-long sonic performance relating to the local ecology in and around Silo City and its connection to the Buffalo River\, and that offers a moment to mourn over the loss of our environment\, our world\, and ourselves. The Summer 2020 residency was juried by Ekrem Serdar\, Martina LaVallo\, and Liz Park. Biographies of the residents and juries can be found below. \nA brief presentation before the artist talk will update you on how you can take part in the Workspace Residency with the upcoming application period in September. \nThis event will be streamed live on Youtube with automated captioning. Audiences will be able to ask questions through Youtube’s live-chat function. \nEmily Watlington is assistant editor at Art in America. She writes about contemporary art—primarily video—often through the lenses of feminism and disability justice. A Fulbright scholar with a master’s degree from MIT in the history\, theory\, and criticism of architecture and art\, she has held curatorial positions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center and MassArt’s Bakalar and Paine Galleries (now the MassArt Art Museum). Her writing has appeared in publications such as Artforum\, Mousse\, and Frieze\, and she has contributed to numerous books and exhibition catalogues\, including Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974–1995 (2018)\, An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art (2017)\, and Independent Female Filmmakers (Routledge\, 2018). \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. \nJenson Leonard\nMy practice involves the intersection of poetry\, conceptual art\, and internet memes. Not unlike the earliest forms of oral poetry\, memes transmit our cultural memory. I scour the web for these preserves…the copies and reproductions of our collective digital id\, dragging and dropping(sculpting) my findings into the Adobe Suite to create a bricolage of text and image that call into question notions of identity and empire. I chart an internet psychogeography that questions the sensorial exhaustiveness of audiovisual capitalism–An art that\, in the framework of predictive algorithms and data extractions attempts intervention within the infrastructure of social media. \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures that allow you to explore the world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space\, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours\, workshops\, and open-source hardware/software. He is currently a Spring 2020 technology artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works and a recipient of a 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Caleb Abrams & Saif Alsaegh
DESCRIPTION:Online artist talk & screening | *NEW DATE* Wednesday\, April 8\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to get your ticket\nYou will receive an email with information and a link on how to view the live event. The artists films will be available to view through April 15\, 2020\, 6:59 pm.\n \nClick here to view the video presentations by the artists with an introduction by the curator \nClick here to view the post-event Google Docs Q&A with the artists \nIn response to COVID-19\, our Spring artists in residence\, Caleb Abrams and Saif Alsaegh\, have continued their residencies from home and will engage with the public virtually. We invite you to convene online to learn about their past and ongoing projects at this artist talk and screening. Caleb Abrams will speak about his current film\, The Burning of My Coldspring Home\, an adaptation of a short story by Seneca Elder Stephen Gordon regarding the forced dislocation of the Seneca people following the building of the Kinzua dam by the Allegheny River. Saif Alsaegh will speak of his film Departure\, titled after a poem by Arthur Rimbaud\, which examines the idea of foreignness as it relates to the filmmaker’s past as a Baghdad born filmmaker living in California. Preceding the event will be a brief presentation by Squeaky Wheel curator\, Ekrem Serdar on how you can be part of the Workspace Residency program in the future. \nCaleb G. Abrams is an Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) filmmaker and multimedia artist based out of what is currently considered Buffalo\, New York. Raised on the Seneca’s Allegany Territory\, much of his work emerges from the social\, historical\, and cultural background of the Seneca. Abrams has written and produced multiple independent short films and videos for the Seneca Nation\, Seneca-Iroquois National Museum/Onöhsagwë:dé Cultural Center\, and Odawi Law PLLC. He has also produced work in collaboration with PBS-WNED-TV\, Vision Maker Media\, Skipping Stone Pictures\, and Toward Castle Films. Lake of Betrayal (2017)\, the award-winning national public television documentary on which Abrams served as the associate producer\, examines the impact of the Kinzua Dam on the Seneca Nation – a topic much of his work has explored. Abrams’ films have been presented at universities\, historical societies\, libraries\, museums\, high schools\, and community and cultural resource organizations throughout Haudenosaunee Territory and the Northeast. \nSaif Alsaegh is a United States-based filmmaker from Baghdad. Much of Saif’s work deals with the contrast between the landscape of his youth in Baghdad growing up as part of the Chaldean minority in the nineties and early 2000s\, and the U.S. landscape where he currently lives. His films have screened in many festivals including Cinema du Reel\, Kruzfilm Festival Hamburg\, Kasseler Dokfest\, Onion City Film Festival and in galleries and museums including the Wisconsin Triennial at MMoCA. He earned his MFA in filmmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. \nThe residency is made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and presented in collaboration with Just Buffalo Literary Art Center and the sponsorship of Hostel Buffalo-Niagara.

Nguyen has received residencies and fellowships from the International Studio & Curatorial Program\, The Institute of Electronic Arts\, BRIC\, Signal Culture\, and Vermont Studio Center. She has been awarded grants from NYSCA and The New York Community Trust. \nLIZN’BOW is a project in which Liz Ferrer and Bow Tie use media technology\, digital tools\, and community building exercises as vehicles to visualize\, play\, and explore different social and creative possibilities. The artists start most of their pieces in a workshop setting. Our workshops focus on providing space for people to form nuanced and expanded ideas of identity\, representation\, power\, and possibility. They usually choose a mainstream cultural format as starting point then deconstruct and experiment from there. LIZN’BOW have worked with The Bass Museum\, Institute of Contemporary Art Miami\, Breakthrough Miami\, Hands to Help\, La Sierra Artist Residency Columbia\, Tempest Projects\, Cunsthaus\, Miami Lighthouse for the Blind\, En Residencia at the Koubek Center\, Borscht Film Festival\, and Mana Contemporary Miami.

SUMMARY:The Conflicted Image with Alison Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 20 th\, 6-8pm \n$10 Non-Members / $7 Members \nContact kevin@squeaky.org for registration or complete the registration form here. SPACE IS LIMITED! \n\nJoin us for an experimental media workshop led by Workspace resident artist Alison Nguyen. The workshop will explore strategies of critique\, homage\, voyeurism\, parody\, deconstruction\, and fragmentation in works that have appropriated found footage while also teaching participants how to make their own short works using found footage.\n\n\n \n\n\nA beginners knowledge of video editing is required.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe workshop will be divided equally between screenings\, discussion\, and practical explorations. Each participant will be given a thumb drive of heterogeneous found footage as a starting point\, and they will produce their own investigations through a variety of manipulations and interventions using editing\, re-filming\, and projection processes.\n\n\n \n\n\nSpace is limited please contact kevin@squeaky.org for registration.\n\n\n \n\n\nAlison Nguyen’s work explores the ways in which images are produced\, disseminated\, and consumed within the current media landscape\, exposing the socio-political conditions from which they arise. Creating strategies for dissent\, she re-articulates mainstream cinematic language in unsettlingly seductive installation\, video\, and sculptural works.\n\n\n \n\n\nAlison Nguyen received her B.A. from Brown University. She has presented work at Ann Arbor Film Festival; CROSSROADS by San Francisco Cinematheque and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and Microscope Gallery\, Brooklyn\, among others.

SUMMARY:Workspace Presentations: Elizabeth Tannie Lewin and Dana Tyrrell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free public talk by our two Workspace residents! Artist resident Elizabeth Tannie Lewin (Brooklyn\, NY) and researcher resident Dana Tyrrell (Buffalo\, NY) will be giving presentations on their ongoing projects at the tail-end of their two week residency with Squeaky Wheel. \nElizabeth Tannie Lewin is a digital media artist interested in: technology\, landscape\, identity\, disappearance\, history\, and utopia. Lewin uses various technologies to achieve special effects such as: 3D modeling landscapes\, hacking a computer mouse to scan images\, and webcameras programmed to initiate\, or pause\, video playback. Lewin received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2009) and her MFA from Hunter College (2016).\nProject Proposal\nMy current work is focused on the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)\, its nuclear history (the RMI\, was once known as the Pacific Proving Grounds\, and the location of 67 United States nuclear tests). The Castle Bravo nuclear test was conducted on Bikini\, Atoll on March 1\, 1954 and was the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States. To this day\, Bikini remains uninhabitable due to radiation. Hundreds of Bikinians remain displaced. Additionally\, the RMI is faces increasing fragility due to climate change (the RMI is on average\, 2 meters above sea level\, scientists predict that the sea levels will rise between 0.8-2 meters by the end of the century).\nMy time at Workspace will be devoted to producing creating a 3D virtual “game” landscape of the RMI\, recording video audio\, and editing scanned military photos which that will be incorporated into a developing video (working title: Nuclear Set). \nDana Tyrrell is an artist\, curator and writer living and working in Buffalo\, New York. He holds an MFA in Visual Studies from the University at Buffalo (2015)\, a BA in Drawing & Painting and a BA in Art History\, both from the State University of New York at Fredonia (2012). His work has been shown widely throughout Western New York\, including solo exhibits with the Castellani Art Museum (2017) and Dreamland Art Gallery (2015). His curatorial practice includes exhibits at Anna Kaplan Contemporary (formerly BT&C Gallery)\, the Benjaman Gallery\, Dreamland Art Gallery\, and Sugar City Art Gallery. Photograph courtesy of Julian Montague.\nProject Proposal\nMy intent for this Workspace Residency would be to research\, and eventually curate a show focused upon emergent technologies. My interest lies at the intersection of technology and performance art -vis-a-vis academics like José Esteban Muñoz and Kara Keeling\, as well as performance artists such as Zach Blas\, Micha Cárdenas and Hito Steyerl – wherein the point of the juncture between emergent technologies and performance art becomes the human body\, in all of its mutability\, foibles and inconsistencies. I am interested in the interplay between the technological self and the realized\, physical self and how those two things\, while not always mutually exclusive\, bend and blur under the ever-present and growing weight of technology.\nThe understanding of these artists and their further articulation within the context of a yet-to be-realized exhibit would be thus predicated upon Keeling’s own description of what is known as a “Queer OS” (Cinema Journal\, 2014); a speculative project which sees the formulation of queer function as an operating system\, which straddles both technical and cultural understandings. At its core\, a Queer OS offers up a space in which LGBTQ+\, Women\, Black and Latinx people can meet – both online and off – connect to one another\, and reaffirm alternative modes of technological disbursement and exploration as we delve further into the twenty-first century. \nAbout the program \nWorkspace Residency is a unique artist residency that 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. Initiated in 2016 by Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center in Buffalo\, New York\, in collaboration with local partners Buffalo Game Space\, Buffalo Lab\, 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. \nWe encourage people of color\, women\, queer\, trans and gender non-conforming people to apply. The residency welcomes applications from both emerging and established artists and researchers. A list of previous residents can be found here.

SUMMARY:Art Talk: Neither Living Nor Dead: Documentary photography in the 1970's and 80's with Dana Tyrrell
DESCRIPTION:Join us and our Workspace Resident Researcher\, Dana Tyrrell as we explore documentary photography centered in and around New York City in the 1970’s and 80’s\, with special focus given to the work of Peter Hujar and David Wojnarowicz. We will look at these artists photographic works as a product of both their impoverished lifestyles and as a reaction to it. The work itself acts as a foil which prefigures and reacts in real time to the HIV/AIDS epidemic during that period of time. We will also touch upon the work  of Buffalo documentary photographer Milton Rogovin\, and the differences between straight documentary photography\, and documentary photography cum art object. \nDana Tyrrell is an artist\, curator and writer living and working in Buffalo\, New York. He holds an MFA in Visual Studies from the University at Buffalo (2015)\, a BA in Drawing & Painting and a BA in Art History\, both from the State University of New York at Fredonia (2012).

Intermedia\, among many others. She is a 2016 MacDowell Fellow in composition and a 2015 ISSUE Project Room Artist-in- Residence.\nProject:\nThe artist will create the first in a two-part suite of compositions for electroacoustic saxophone quartet. This new site-specific work would be developed\, premiered and documented within the uniquely resonant space of Silo City’s grain elevators. Drawing from the Buffalo area’s community of creative musicians\, the artist would collaborate with three other saxophonists to develop this work. Aural phenomena will play a pivotal role in the development of this composition – gesturally\, structurally and timbrally. The process will begin by narrowing down a vocabulary of extended instrumental techniques for Saxophone\, dictated by in-depth explorations of psychoacoustic phenomena in the space.\nThe second part of the project will use electronic processing techniques informed by explorations at Silo City. An essential component of the time the time the artist will spend on the site will be taking acoustic response tests of the interior of the grain elevators and creating customized reverberation modeling patches that are based on the characteristics of the Silos. This and other elements such as field recordings will inform the second part of the suite\, and will be continued into 2018.\nThe culmination of this residency will be a public premiere of the composition at Silo City on August 26\, 2017. \nRESEARCH RESIDENTS\n \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. Rakes is a Programmer at Large for the Film Society of Lincoln Center\, Editor at Large for Verso Books\, a and has recently organized exhibitions for Knockdown Center\, ISCP\, and Malmö Konsthall. Leo Goldsmith is a writer and curator based in New York. He co-edits the film section of The Brooklyn Rail with Rachael Rakes\, with whom he is writing a book about the radical filmmaker Peter Watkins. His writing has appeared in Art-Agenda\, artforum\, Cinema Scope\, INCITE\, and The Village Voice.\nProject:\n“Distant Present” is a book that argues that Peter Watkins’s work is an essential precursor to the recent interest in moving-image documentary works in contemporary art. Since the late 1950s\, Watkins has engineered a unique form of moving image practice: hybrid non fiction as interventionist art. His films\, including The War Game\, Edvard Munch\, Punishment Park\, and La Commune\, are at once hyperpolitical\, sophisticated\, and reflexive works on social struggle and the mediation of history. This book will provide a critical analysis of Watkins’s filmmaking and writing\, situating his unorthodox methodologies of collective filmmaking within a narrative of their often fraught production\, distribution\, and reception histories\, and within their wider intellectual and political contexts. \nARTIST RESIDENTS\n \nCaroline Doherty is an artist and educator based in Buffalo\, NY. She employs multiple mediums – including sculpture\, performance\, video\, and public projects – to engage questions of language\, communication\, violence\, and power. She has exhibited and been a resident artist internationally\, most recently at Ontario Place in Toronto\, the University of Toronto Missisauga\, SOMA in Mexico City\, ArtPark in Lewiston\, NY\, Tsinghua University in Beijing\, the Chongjiang Contemporary Art Museum in Chongqing\, and CEPA Gallery in Buffalo. Alongside her art practice\, Caroline teaches people of many ages and backgrounds how to make and do new things.\nProject:\nThe artist will work on production of a multi-channel video that is based on their recent major installation and performance project\, Basic Furnishings for Unequal Spaces. Drawing from their experiences as a student\, teacher\, and worker\, the work explores the effects – blatant and invisible- of systems of power\, gender\, labor\, and competition in bureaucratic and institutional spaces by focusing on the archetypal objects found in those spaces. Referencing environments like offices\, waiting rooms\, and lecture halls\, the sculptural furniture and related objects double as set and props\, shifting meaning and utility based on the actions of five female performers. The actions were devised through improvisation exercises with the performers\, and then complied into a mutable score for live public performances. This new iteration translates the actions into scenes staged for a new video. The props and furniture sculptures will be used again\, with the addition of new objects. The resulting work will more deeply explore the strange\, uncanny\, surreal\, or violent aspects of the performance. \n \nJa’Tovia Gary is a filmmaker and visual artist originally from Dallas\, Texas currently living and working in Brooklyn\, New York. Gary’s work is concerned with constructions of power and how raced and gendered beings navigate popular media. She earned her MFA in Social Documentary Filmmaking from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her work has screened at festivals\, cinemas\, and institutions worldwide including Frameline LGBTQ Film Festival\, Edinburg International Film Festival\, The Whitney Museum\, Anthology Film Archives\, Atlanta Film Festival\, the Schomburg Center\, MoMa PS1\, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles\, New Orleans Film Festival\, Ann Arbor Film Festival and elsewhere. She is the recipient of the Sundance Documentary Fund Production Grant and the Jerome Foundation Film and Video Grant. Gary participated in the Terra Foundation of American Art 2016 summer artist fellowship and is the 2017 artist in residence at the Jacob Burns Film Center. (Photo credit: Alexander Bell)\nProject:\nThe Giverny Diptych is comprised of two separate yet related experimental video pieces\, each filmed in Giverny\, France in and around Claude Monet’s famed gardens and residence. The work is concerned with ancestral memory\, Black womanist philosophy\, captivity and fugitivity\, the history of western imperialism\, and the presence of the Black feminine figure within the western fine art canon. During her time at the Workspace Residency the artist will complete the post production phase of Giverny I and Giverny II.\nThe artist will also experiment with the mounting of an installation titled On Attachment that features a short 16mm experimental animation as its centerpiece. \n \nDeniz Tortum is an artist working in film\, video\, and new media. He is a graduate of MIT Comparative Media Studies and the Open Documentary Lab. His most recent film\, If Only There Were Peace (co-directed with Carmine Grimaldi)\, premiered in 2017 at True/False Film Festival. Currently he is a fellow at Harvard Film Study Center\, working on a film about a hospital in Istanbul.\nProject:\nAn increasingly prominent\, but insistently opaque technology\, blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of transactions. All transactions are confirmed by the thousands of users in the system. This results in both a highly detailed and transparent record of all actions\, as well as a decentralized yet secure system. This is in contrast to existing organizations we use for similar tasks\, like banks or server farms. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are built using this blockchain technology. Blockchain-evangelists believe that this technology can lead to major changes in bureaucratic and economic structures\, disrupting global power relations. Critics\, like media theorist Ian Bogost and journalist Izabella Kaminska argue that these technologies will usher in an emergent form of techno-authoritarianism.\nDuring the residency\, the artist will develop a conceptual framework for blockchain-based artwork. The artist will research artworks that have conceptual ties with transience\, autonomy\, or governance\, along with current efforts of using blockchain as an artistic medium. The residency would lead to a critical work on the future themes & possibilities for blockchain art.\nThis project is a collaboration between the artist\, Ainsley Sutherland\, a designer with particular interest in blockchain and Ulya Soley\, assistant curator at Pera Museum in Istanbul.

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.
