2. Lecture: Josh Kline
Wednesday, April 11 at Noon
Lamar Dodd Building Room S151
Josh Kline is an American artist and curator living in New York, NY where he is also the Director of Public Programs at the School of Visual Arts and is an instructor at Electronic Arts Intermix. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including Modern Art Oxford, UK; the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C.; the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; and MoMA PS1, NY. Presenting itself through sculpture and installations, Kline's work examines how technology's rapid advancement impacts humans. His work often alludes to political moments and medical practices. He uses the human body as a reference to draw in the audience and compare people to appliances. This work exists alongside the bitter irony that he uses modern advanced technology for his exhibitions, often 3-D printing parts for his sculptures.

3. DIGI Colloquium: Jonathan Baillehache
Wednesday, April 11 at 4 PM
DigiLab, 3rd floor, Main Library
Title: How to Teach a Game You Can't Beat. Jonathan Baillehache will share and reflect on some of the specific benefits and challenges that emerge from teaching with and about digital-born cultural artifacts. The Digital Arts Library -- a UGA faculty-curated humanities collection dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of artistic creation with computers -- has offered Baillehache an opportunity to bring into the classroom a variety of hardware and software often unfamiliar to students. Baillehache will share questions on how to transmit the literacy and critical tools implied by artifacts that require to be traversed non-exhaustively, going against students' expectations to read a book or a movie 'exhaustively' through a cognitively trivial effort. In other words: why and how to teach digital artifacts that seem impossible to ever 'beat' because of lack of skill and/or time?
