July LASER Event

Program (the order of the speakers might change):

• Patricia Alessandrini (Stanford) on "Ada's Song: Artistic Research in Robotics from a (Cyber)Feminist Perspective"
  Alessandrini will speak about her work as a composer/sound artist, from the design of interfaces and instruments for inclusive performance to the development of the Piano Machine, a system that mechanically excites piano strings using Machine Learning processes in response to live performance. She will also discuss her new project employing soft robotics in a cyberfeminist, futurist installation and performance.
• Joon Park (Stanford) on "Smallville: Illustrating Our Lives with Generative Agents" (click here for more)
• Rohini Devasher (Media Artist in India) on "Between Wonder and the Strange"
  Devasher will share work that maps the complexities of ecology, cosmology, and technology viewed through the twin lenses of wonder and the strange. The theoretical grounding of her work draws from the history of science, astronomy, philosophy and speculative fiction.
• Richard Lowenberg (Artist and Eco-cultural Activist) on "Telluride 2024 - The Nature of Information"
