SUMMARY:Works-in-progress: Three video games by Kurt Treeby
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 23\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nSqueaky Wheel welcomes artist Kurt Treeby for a presentation of three in-progress video games based on art historical themes\, and based on older titles created for older game consoles such as the Atari 2600 or Nintendo Entertainment System : Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column\, Guernica\, and Un Chien Andalou. The artist will present the games and speak to his work and process. Computers will be available for audiences to play the individual games the evening of. \nBiography of the artist\nA native of Buffalo\, NY\, Kurt Treeby first studied art at the College of Art and Design at Alfred University. While at Alfred he studied painting\, drawing\, and art history. After receiving his MFA from Syracuse University\, Treeby developed a conceptual-based approach to art making that continues to develop as he works with a wide range of fiber and textile processes\, and has recently begun to explore electronic art. His work comments of the production and reception of art\, as well as the role art plays in our collective memories. He focuses on iconic imagery and the connection between so-called “high” and “low” art forms. Treeby has exhibited his work on a national and international level. He teaches studio art and design at Erie Community College. He lives and works in Buffalo. \nBanner image: A still from Kurt Treeby\, Guernica.

Some of the people are dressed like soldiers holding guns\, and a black and white image of a woman in a dress.

SUMMARY:Silo City | Kathryn Ramey's SILVER & earth: Marine A
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 6\, 7 pm\n@ Silo City (85 Silo City Row\, Buffalo\, NY 14203)\nFree or suggested donation; register below\nJoin us at Silo City for a projection performance by artist and filmmaker Kathryn Ramey! Made in collaboration with Noam Ramey-Winikur\, SILVER & earth: Marine A is a three projector 16mm performance which will highlight environmentally conscious artistic practices within reclaimed post industrial sites such as Silo City. The work is a holistic portrait of the site\, featuring both the site of Marine A\, and developed\, not with traditionally toxic photographic formulas\, but with Ramey’s ecological processes and plants from the grounds of Marine A. Working with the habitat-restorative approach of Silo City’s staff\, the work showcases how artists can approach the complicated legacies of 20th century industry. \nThe ~20 minute long projector performance will be preceded by an introduction by Kathryn Ramey speaking to her practice and process. Audiences will have the opportunity to closely inspect the films on a light table following the event. \nPart of a larger suite of work\, SILVER & earth: Marine A\, focuses on analogue film\, using outdated material that would otherwise find its way to a landfill through a variety of experimental gestures. These include: phytograms in which Vitamin C\, plant material and soda or wood ash is used to print onto film; burying film in compost; among other methods. Ramey’s project marks a deepening of Squeaky Wheel’s partnership with Silo City to also support ecological media arts practices. \nThe event will take place at Silo City. Entrance will be through the garden of Duende (85 Silo City Row\, Buffalo\, NY 14203) at 7 pm. This event marks the final event with our summer residents. Special thank you to Carl Lee and our partners at Silo City. \nAbout the artist and our partner\nKathryn Ramey (1967)\, Vancouver\, WA / USA. A Guggenheim and Creative Capital fellow with an MFA in film and a PhD in anthropology who has made over a dozen films and installations\, contributed numerous articles to anthologies and journals and written the essential text Experimental Filmmaking: BREAK THE MACHINE (2015). Her films operate at the intersection of experimental analogue processes and ethnographic research and are characterized by hand-processing\, optical printing\, and animation. She has screened at several festivals such as Toronto\, Ann Arbor\, TriBeca\, Ji.hlava\, and 25fps\, among others. \n \nSilo City is a unique post-industrial landscape comprised of the world’s largest collection of historical grain elevators. We create and host happenings on site through our 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that operates under the legal name Friends of Silo City.

SUMMARY:Football Practice: Speculative Football Players with Kristin McWharter
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 22\, 2024\, 6–8 pm ET\nOnline over Zoom\nFree or suggested donation; register below\nJoin us for this workshop intensive in which participants explore the cultural impact of American football and collectively contribute to a new simulation of the sport. Part performance lecture\, part interactive imagining\, participants will be given prompts to write and craft new players for the artists Football Practice simulation software. Each workshop designs and “drafts” two players into the scrimmage of the software\, directly shaping the speculative imaging of the game. Inspired by the surrealist game Exquisite Corpses and video game sports simulations such as Madden\, this workshop discusses the importance of consent\, aggression\, and competitive drive as participants playfully imagine speculative football futures in real time. \nThe workshop is open to anyone regardless of their knowledge or interest in football. A Zoom link will be shared with your email address near the event date. \nThis workshop is presented as part of an ongoing project by Kristin McWharter. To learn more\, click here. \nBiography of the artist\nKristin McWharter uses performance and play to interrogate the relationship between competition and intimacy. Her work conjoins viewers within immersive sculptural installations and viewer- inclusive performances that critically fuse folk games within virtual and augmented worlds. Her software installations and performative objects incorporate experimental technologies and playful interaction to produce performances that speculate upon alternative forms of social behavior. Inspired by 20th century sports narrative\, collective decision making\, and technology as a contemporary spiritual authority\, her work blurs the boundaries of intimacy and hype culture to challenge viewer relationships to affection and competitive drive. Her work has been exhibited at The Hammer Museum\, Walt Disney Concert Hall\, Bangkok Arts and Cultural Center\, Ars Electronica\, Museo Altillo Beni\, and FILE Festival among others. McWharter received her MFA from UCLA in Design Media Arts and is currently an Assistant Professor in Art & Technology Studies at SAIC. \nImage description: Two digital avatars on a digital grassy field.

SUMMARY:The Fuzzy Edges of Character Encoding with Everest Pipkin
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 23\, 2024\, 6–8pm\nFree or suggested donation\nOpen to ages 16+.\nBring your own laptops or computational device. Students will need a basic text editor installed. Details will be given in registration email.\nWorkspace Resident Everest Pipkin will lead a workshop on the history\, politics and computational basics of text-based character encoding. Discussions will cover morse code\, ASCII\, Unicode (including emoji)\, and alternative text encoding schemes\, as well as their social\, ethical\, and emotional stories.  The second part of the workshop will be a laptops-open play along exploration through software demos and creative exercises. What “is” a character on a computer? How can we play around with the foundational building blocks of digital materials in ways that lets us understand files as materials? How can we think about language as a type of logical encoding that makes computers work? \nBiography of the artist\nEverest Pipkin is a game developer\, writer\, and artist from central Texas who lives and works on a sheep farm in southern New Mexico. Their work both in the studio and in the garden follows themes of ecology\, tool making\, and collective care during collapse. They hold a BFA from University of Texas at Austin\, an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University\, and have shown and spoken at The Design Museum of London\, The Texas Biennial\, The XXI Triennale of Milan\, The Photographers Gallery of London\, Center for Land Use Interpretation\, and other spaces.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Everest Pipkin\, Kristin McWharter\, Jaehoon Choi\, Léwuga Tata Benson
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 19\, 2024\, 7 pm ET\nOnline and in-person @ Squeaky Wheel\nFree or suggested donation. ASL interpretation provided. Catering from AliBaba Kebab provided for in-person attendees.\nRegister below\nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to present this hybrid artist talk with our Spring 2024 Workspace Residents! Everest Pipkin (Truth or Consequences\, NM)\, Kristin McWharter (Chicago\, IL)\, Jaehoon Choi (Troy\, NY)\, and Léwuga Tata Benson (Buffalo\, NY) will be presenting on their previous and current projects\, including essays on video games\, and media art installations that explore notions of language and translation\, historic children’s games and locative sound\, and the devastating effects of oil extraction. Their event will conclude with a Q&A with the residents moderated by curator Ekrem Serdar. \nFor in-person attendees: The event will take place at Squeaky Wheel. Please note that you cannot enter Tri-Main Center after 7:30 pm. \nFor online attendees: A private link will be sent to you; the event will be available at the link at the start date and time. You will have access to the event for 24 hours; Squeaky Wheel members receive 72 hour access. Not a member yet? Sign up here. \nDuring their residency\, researcher resident Everest Pipkin will be working on The Fortunate Isles: Fragment Worlds\, Walled Gardens\, and the games that are played there\, a speculative essay about the edges of space within video games. Based on a talk Pipkin gave at the 2023 Roguelike Celebration\, the essay will focus on the concept of the walled garden\, expanding it to include games and games spaces. It looks at ornamental gardens\, cloisters\, isolate spaces\, and even mythological or utopian fantasies of worlds\, and goes beyond to where the garden stops and a wildness of bugs\, errors\, logical failures and edge cases begin. The essay seeks to connect the logic of potent isolation to the games we make and play.  \nJaehoon Choi will be working on an untitled media art installation on the intermingling of translation and language through light and sound. Influenced by the work of Karen Barad\, the artist will be working with mylar film\, projection\, and audio from speech recordings in various languages. The work is latest in a series of installations that delve into the artists concern\, the first of which\, “Hello. hEllo! heLLo? hellO” was created and showcased at EMPAC in May 2023. \nKristin McWharter will be working on Marco Polo\, an interactive sound installation\, based on the children’s game where one player\, with eye’s closed\, calls out “Marco” and listens for the location of other players who call out “Polo” in response. McWharter will be adapting the children’s game in a new work that incorporates megaphones\, RF transmissions\, and a series of sculptural beacons for audiences to engage with locative sound. Noting the Italian explorer’s role in shaping racist notions of Western superiority\, the project reflects on the history of trade route landscapes and the consequences of western culture’s history of continuous evasion and pursuit. \nLéwuga Tata Benson will be working towards their exhibition Fueling Change: A Multimedia Exploration of Niger Delta’s Oil Crisis that will open at Buffalo Arts Studio on July 26\, 2024. Utilizing oil drums\, video\, and audio\, the project focuses on the oil industry’s effects upon the people of the Niger Delta in Western Nigeria and the social\, economic\, and environmental consequences of unregulated oil extraction practices. \n            Biographies of the residents                        \nEverest Pipkin is a game developer\, writer\, and artist from central Texas who lives and works on a sheep farm in southern New Mexico.
