SUMMARY:Theatre Performance: (Machine) Learning to be
DESCRIPTION:From an international collaboration spanning 9 universities\, 50+ researchers\, and 15 artists\, comes a multimedia performance experience that engages with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and their impacts. (Machine) Learning To Be explores the many faces of AI\, its dangers\, and possibilities for our communities. Engage with the performance on May 16th and 17th at Progress Lab 1422 and online\, as you take part in a conversation around the possibilities and impacts of AI on the human body and society. (Machine) Learning To Be uses a hybrid performance model\, which means audiences can join in both online and in-person.  \nThe Vancouver performances (May 16-17) are co-produced by the Data Fluencies Theatre Project and Theatre Conspiracy and developed with support from the Data Fluencies Project through the Digital Democracies Institute at Simon Fraser University. The performance had a developmental workshop with public sharing at Brown University (August 2024)\, produced in collaboration with Brown Arts Institute as part of the inaugural Brown Arts IGNITE Series. \nThe live online performance is powered by CultureHub Broadcaster.  \nFor free tickets to the online performance\, please register here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/machine-learning-to-be-online-experience.   \nDates & Shows: \nMay 16\, Friday | 6 PM  \nMay 16\, Friday | 8 PM  \nMay 17\, Saturday | 8 PM \n  \nDuration: 1 Hour \n  \nTickets \nSpecial Pricing: Pay What You Can \n  \nVenue: Progress Lab 1422 & online

SUMMARY:Data Fluencies: Tributaries
DESCRIPTION:Featuring artists Lai Yi Ohlsen\, Lani Asunción\, Jazsalyn\, Kristoffer Ørum\, Caroline Sinders\, and Roopa Vasudevan\, with experimental research by the Night School for Data Fluencies\, DATA/FFECT\, hannah holtzclaw\, and Data Fluencies Pedagogies. \n  \nThe second of three thematically connected shows taking place across North America this spring and summer\, this exhibition at Or Gallery investigates art’s potential for reimagining our often narrow understandings of data and machine learning and advocating for the digital futures we want. Using the river tributary as a conceptual starting point\, the exhibition invites you to explore how our current understandings of data and technology can become a site for broader\, community-centred discussions beyond the academy.  \n  \nData Fluencies: Tributaries features the diverse work of six contemporary artists\, alongside experimental research supported by the Data Fluencies Project\, based out of the Digital Democracies Institute at Simon Fraser University. Together\, the artists and researchers featured here offer us ways to (re)consider our relationships with the data that surrounds and drives our everyday lives—and perhaps find new routes to agency once we are able to do so. \n  \nThe Data Fluencies exhibitions are organized by Roopa Vasudevan\, a co-PI on the Data Fluencies Project. Visual identity by PROPS SUPPLY. \n  \nDates & Shows: May 29 – July 19  \nOpen hours Wednesday – Saturday\, 12–5 PM \nOpening Reception: 29 May\, 5 – 8 PM  \nPublic Curatorial Tour: 31 May\, 2 PM \nVenue: Or Gallery\, 236 Pender St East\, Vancouver\, BC
