//Thanks for a terrific class and have a great summer!// user:dgelb

Reminder: The presentation class will be held on April 6 at 12:30 pm in Studio 1. This is imperative that all students are present and participate in this final class. All 3 Visual Arts committee members will be present. We are going to provide some lunch/snacks, so if you want to contribute, we can make it potluck.

[|Golan Levin] from Carnegie Mellon University will be presenting a talk as part of OCAD Design Speakers Series on Thursday February 4, 2010, room 190 (Auditorium) at 6:30 pm.

Professor Golan is a two time TED speaker, and his work combines “whimsical, the provocative, and the sublime” in a wide variety of online, installation and performance media. He is known for the conception and creation of Dialtones: A Telesymphony, a concert whose sounds are wholly performed through the carefully choreographed dialing and ringing of the audience's own mobile phones, and for interactive information visualizations like The Secret Lives of Numbers and The Dumpster [2006], which offer novel perspectives onto millions of online communications. Golan was granted an Award of Distinction in the Prix Ars Electronica for his interactive software and accompanying audiovisual performances. He is now in the preliminary research phase of a new body of work, which centers on interactive robotics, machine vision, and the theme of “gaze” as a primary new mode for human-machine communication.

Presently, he is Director of the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry and Associate Professor, Electronic Time-Based Art at Carnegie Mellon. He also holds Courtesy Appointments in the School of Computer Science and the School of Design. His work is represented by the bitforms gallery, New York City.
