Dionysus meets drag culture in The Bacchae at TDPS April 3-5
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2014/3/28 6:45)

What happens when an ancient Greek scholar, a costume director, a UC Berkeley undergraduate director and a group of drag queens are in the same theater?
Creative expression and critical inquiry work side by side in Senior Maya Miesner?s production of Euripides? The Bacchae , a reimagining of the classical text exploring queer and feminist themes. ?The play deals a lot with illusion, self-conscious theatricality, and the blurring of socially constructed boundaries,? says Miesner, ?so I felt that using drag would be an interesting way to explore these ideas on the stage.?
The project was inspired by her fascination with contemporary American drag culture. ?In my eyes,? says Miesner, ?drag as a performance art not only subverts gender norms in a way that can be keenly intelligent and wildly entertaining, but also creates a space in which performers and audience members alike are given the opportunity to re-imagine normative social imperatives that dictate the way we look at, t ...

Big Data hält komplexe Produktionsanlagen am Laufen
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2014/3/27 17:30)
|
Industrielle Anlagen müssen funktionieren. Produktionsstopps und Ausfälle sind aufwändig zu beheben und teuer. Unternehmen sammeln deshalb Daten, um zu wissen, wie es ihren Anlagen geht. Auf der Hannover Messe Digital Factory zeigt das Fraunhofer-Institut für Optronik, Systemtechnik und Bildauswertung IOSB vom 7. bis 11. April Verfahren, die diese großen Datenmengen analysieren und Betreiber frühzeitig warnen, wenn Probleme drohen (Halle 7, Stand B10). Die Anlagen laufen dadurch zuverlässiger und sparen Energie.

ATC Lecture? Stephanie Syjuco,?Lossy: On the Politics of Networked Flows and Degraded Systems?
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2014/3/21 6:01)

Monday, March 31
7:30 PM ? 9:00 PM
310 Sutardja Dai Hall
Traditionally used to refer to the degradation of an image when compressed as a digital JPG file, ?lossy? is a state in which digital information is discarded for the sake of file size. Resolution is lost, detail is changed and fineness is compromised. In this process, however, extra pixels may also be added, ultimately transforming and re-authoring the resulting Doppelgänger image. Long interested in issues of analog-to-digital mistranslations, public access, and flows of information and capital, visual artist Stephanie Syjuco will present recent projects exploring the murky territory of the physicality of objects in relationship to virtual space, “resolution” as a metaphor for craft, and authorship in an era of co-authored or crowdsourced information. By flipping the ?loss? of original resolution from being a negative condition into a potentially generative one, her works scrutinize how active transforma ...
