ASTeRIX Student Engagement Session

On Thursday, Nov 28, ASTeRIX is hosting a student engagement session that focuses on how the centre can better serve and represent student projects. This session will be casual and conversational in nature, and will include asking the following questions:

• What are your research interests and areas of artistic practice?
• What resources/equipment would be most valuable to support your student experience?
• What speakers/facilitators/artists would you most like to have visit Uleth to speak/present/etc (perhaps even in the Spring 2020 term)?
• What types of events/workshops/etc might ASTeRIX plan/provide that you would be interested in?

This 2-hour event will take place in the Switch Lab (W520A) on Thursday, November 28 from 4:00-6:00pm. Please drop in for as much or as little as you can. Please RSVP to asterix@uleth.ca

Graduate student “Intersections” workshop

Developing a multi-day workshop for interdisciplinary R-C in the spirt of the 2014 New Media Intersections with Evelyn Eastmond. Co-taught, collaboratively led, bringing into play present-day R-C projects and activities of the workshop leaders. Alternatively, directed by a prominent scholar-artist invited to the university by ASTERIX. The workshop can be a launchpad for an FFA inter-departmental, co-instructed, studio and project-based course on interactive art. Moreover, the workshop can include, for example, project development and dissemination strategies, leading students toward exhibiting at Crossing Boundaries 2020.
