04:00 PM : TBA: How We Investigate @ Guild Theater

T:BA:05 Flyered by kmikeym

In media that range from 3D PowerPoint to digital photos, microscopes, personal ads, celluloid, animation, timelapse, and night vision, these artists turn a deft eye to register our weirdly transformative world. Falling airplanes mutate into a fantasyland of human touch, porn magazine cutouts turn from titillating to taunting, and aliens grow cruelly alienated by their contact with Earth. Following the program of shorts, Mike Wilder, PowerPoint lecturer extraordinaire, presents his newest examination of how humans perceive the world. Hold on to your 3D glasses!
"At the dawn of the 21st Century, many humans feel lost in a frenzied world of scientific, military, commercialÑand above all 'newsworthy'Ñimages. In a live 3D multimedia presentation, I will briskly survey the history of visualization technologies, including a discussion of my own research on 3D imaging robots. Within this context, I locate the origin of this 'disorientation' in the imaging technologies of the 17th century. Though the microscope and the telescope afforded radically new images, they also 'generated' the vertiginous world with which we still contend."
ÑM. Wilder
