Light and Landscape
\n<\/span><\/b>Tuesday, January 21st, coordinated by Alison Loader (Design and Computation Arts)<\/span><\/p>\n

Community and Culture<\/span><\/b>
\nTuesday, February 25th, coordinated by Lorraine Oades (Studio Arts)<\/span><\/p>\n

The first MicroTalk entitled Control and Identity<\/span><\/b> addresses the often invisible forces of power we face everyday as twenty-first century global citizens living in a rapidly shifting and often uncertain terrain. The presenters explore various mechanisms of control, how they shape us as individuals and at times circumscribe our future.<\/p>\n

Part-time professors will discuss these issues through a series of fast paced, energized talks that range in topic from messianic leaders, aesthetic control, video surveillance, data mining, gay urban planning and more.<\/p>\n

The MicroTalks will be held in the Department of Design and Computation Arts, 1515 Saint Catherine Street West, 6th floor, EV6.720 from 18:30 – 20:30.<\/p>\n

All faculty and students are welcome to attend. If you are a professor and would like to bring your class please let us know beforehand.<\/p>\n
