ICE-Sponsored
1. Visiting Artist Clarinda Mac Low
Cyborg Nation Performance
Thursday, October 8 from 6 - 9 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
Free and open to the public
Theatre and Film Studies Colloquium
Friday, October 9 at 12:20 PM
Fine Arts Building
Clarinda Mac Low uses art to connect people across communities and to each other. Her
collaborative performances and public art take place in theaters, city streets, and unusual sites
throughout the world. Mac Low's background includes both art and science, with degrees in Dance
and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. She is a former HIV lab researcher, medical journalist, and
the recipient of prestigious grants and fellowships from arts organizations such as the Foundation
for Contemporary Arts, MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, and the Dance Theater Workshop in
New York.
During "Cyborg Nation", Mac Low will wear a costume that is also a portable media environment,
with a built-in miniature camera, microphone, amplifier, and video projector. The project
investigates how technology both extends and limits our senses by combining remote
communication in the form of email and phone messages with one-to-one conversation,
providing a twenty-first-century version of the Socratic dialogue. Members of the public are
invited to come to Cine during the performance or to participate by sending messages to
[log in to unmask] or calling 646-229-7895.
Clarinda Mac Low's UGA visit is supported by the UGA department of Theatre and Film Studies,

2. New Media Institute (NMI) Orientation Sessions
The good news is we have a record number of students interested in enrolling in New Media
Institute classes (http://www.mynmi.net/courses/spring2010.php) and completing the New Media
Interdisciplinary Certificate (http://www.mynmi.net/programs/certificate/). The bad news is we
cannot accommodate everyone. This semester, we are instituting an application procedure for
enrolling in NMIX classes and the Certificate program. On Tuesday (10/6) and Wednesday (10/7)
we will be holding orientation sessions to make sure that everyone understands the process. You
must reserve your spot for one of these sessions at
