I'm pleased to be participating in the STREET VIEWS screening program at The Maysles Cinema. STREET VIEWS is co-curated by Paul Dallas (BMW Guggenheim Lab) and Anthony Titus (RPI and Anthony Titus Studio). I'll be a respondent to the fifth film, Abendland, on April 25th.
STREET VIEWS is a new film series that explores our connection to the built environment through documentaries, narratives and experimental works. The series creates a forum for conversation with invited guest artists, filmmakers and architects who join for post-screening discussions. The inaugural edition, "Existing Conditions," features works by international filmmakers whose close examination of the physical world becomes the basis for meditations on social space, transformation and the contemporary urban landscape.

Please join us for a College Art Association roundtable exploring the intersections of Art History and the Digital Humanities. This panel will take up such questions as "How might the traditions of Art History and Visual Studies enrich the Digital Humanities?", "What role might networked modes of communication and analysis play in our discipline?", and "How might our own scholarship be more visual?" Panelists will present their own digital projects and also offer advice on how to undertake similar work. There will be ample time for discussion as well.
Saturday, February 25, 12:30-2:00 PM
Concourse Meeting Room 403B, Level 2, Los Angeles Convention Center
This panel is sponsored by the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, an initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Disorientalism is pleased to return to ArtSpace West this Winter where we will unveil the latest chapter of our The Food Groups project. In Brown Bagging, the Disorientals take on the guise of Wendy from Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers to make the move from farm fresh to factory food production. For this project, we teamed up with video game designer Silvia Ruzanka to create Participation May Vary, a Kinect video game in which players battle brown paper bags, burger slinging, ketchup gleaning, farming, and Tai Chi.
