A Lunchtime Workshop Series with Dr. Marta Moreno Vega, President and Founder Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute, Adjunct Professor Department of Art & Public Policy, NYU Tisch School of the Arts. These talks will engage students in the participatory process of defining voice and developing a creative public project addressing the public discourse of now.

Scales and subjectivities of vision and photography are transforming under the influence of remote-sensing arrays, machine visions, and global observation systems. Computational and composite photography capture not just an image in time, but also in space, permitting 1:1 digitization and replication of spatial objects, bodies, and landscapes. Remote sensing offers at once extended apparatuses of viewing, feeling, and operating in the world, as well as expanded dynamics of population control. These large-scale spatial mapping technologies are primarily deployed, administered, and understood by economically dominant world powers and multinational scientific consortia. Asymmetrical power relations are thus reproduced and amplified at the planetary scale. There is an urgency for these images and models to be legible to wider publics and constituencies than solely at the levels of industry, military, and governance. How can artists operate within these scales of perception for new imaginative and political potential? What kinds of interventions, trespasses, transformative subjectivities are occurring through the deliberate decolonization and appropriation of networks of remote sensing by those on the peripheries of power?

Dean Green hangs out with students.

A talk by Michael Gillespie (PhD 2007). The talk will consider the idea of black film in the terms of film blackness with attention to death and film form. With a focus on a cluster of short films, the talk poses new critical prerogatives for the idea of black film in our contemporary moment. Part of CS50.

This workshop will provide you with an overview of how to write a standard project proposal to a foundation. Attendees are encouraged to bring ideas you would like to see funded
