SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop with Brandon Ballengée: Eco-displacements
DESCRIPTION:Environmental activist and visual artist Brandon Ballengée will work with community participants to collect specimens\, this workshop looks at the aquatic life of the Hudson River and surrounding areas. Firstly as a group we will set-up a 20 gallon aquarium with filtration and discuss the water-cycle\, pollution and habitat requirements for aquatic species. We will fill then go to the river to collect artifacts and specimens and displace them into the aquarium. Funded in part by the National Endowment of the Arts “Bio-Art in an Industrial Wasteland.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program involved the creation of a Hudson River Eco-Displacement sculpture. A beautiful aquarium\, with fish from the toxic waters of the Hudson\, was installed at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. The collected found objects from the desolate beach at Ingalls Ave. Boat Launch became creative elements for the Eco-Displacement environment. This art aquarium was created by workshop participants\, including several North Troy neighborhood youth. The project planted the seed for a continued residency with Brandon and the community of Troy for with NEA Art Works support for “Urban Art Reclamations: Our Upper Hudson Heritage.” \n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST: \n\n\n\nBrandon Ballengée (American\, born 1974) is a visual artist\, biologist and environmental activist based in New York. \n\n\n\nBallengée creates transdisciplinary artworks inspired from his ecological field and laboratory research. Since 1996\, a central investigation focus has been the occurrence of developmental deformities and population declines among amphibians. In 2001\, he was nominated for membership into Sigma XI\, the Scientific Research Society. In 2009\, Ballengée and SK Sessions published “Explanation for Missing Limbs in Deformed Amphibians” in the Journal of Experimental Zoology and received international media attention from the BBC and others. This scientific study was the inspiration for the book Malamp: The Occurrence of Deformities in Amphibians (published by Arts Catalyst & Yorkshire Sculpture Park\, UK) and a solo exhibition at the Royal Institution of Great Brittain (London\, England: 2010). Since 2009 he has continued his amphibian research as a visiting scientist at McGill University (Montréal\, Canada). In 2011 he was awarded a conservation leadership fellowship from the National Audubon Society’s TogetherGreen Program (USA). \n\n\n\nHis art has been featured in several major US publications\, including ARTnews\, Art in America\, The New York Times\, New Yorker\, The New York Times Magazine\, Orion\, Audubon Magazine and Sculpture. Internationally\, it was also featured in Beaux Arts (France)\, Liberation (France)\, L’Oeil (France)\, The Observer (England)\, The Guardian (England)\, Financial Times (England)\, BBC News (England)\, D’Ars (Italy)\, Domenica (Italy)\, Il Venerdi (Italy)\, The Sunday Guardian: New Dehli (India) and others.

SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop with Brandon Ballengée: Love Motel for Insects: Nighttime Insect Watching and Arthropod Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:A participatory workshop on biodiversity and “ecosystem activism” designed to train amateurs to assist in art and science research. The Love Motel for Insects was a huge hit with the people that participated as they were able to learn valuable information about bugs and how they interact in nature. Each person got a hand-out with bugs labeled on the paper to determine which one was which and their role in the environment. This workshop created a temporary “Love Motel for Insects” using insect attracting lights and bait to draw in local nocturnal creatures.

SUMMARY:"The Throwaways" with Filmmakers Bhawin Suchak and Ira McKinley
DESCRIPTION:The Throwaways tells the story of ex-felon\, homeless filmmaker\, activist\, and co-director Ira McKinley\, who channels his experience of living on the streets through the lens of a video camera.  By using his unique perspective\, Ira pulls the curtain back for viewers and exposes how the current economic crisis is having a devastating effect on those who are in greatest need. The story documents his struggle to bring positive changes to his community in inner-city Albany. A gritty\, firsthand look at a reality most would rather turn away from\, The Throwaways challenges viewers to bear witness and confront the daily struggles and hopes of those living on the fringes of a society that has rejected and forgotten them. \n\n\n\nThis is more than just a film; it is an expression of the anger\, sadness\, joys\, and hopes of people who have been historically stereotyped\, silenced and marginalized by the mainstream media. Co-directed by local independent media maker Bhawin Suchak\, The Throwaways places personal narratives against the backdrop of a grassroots movement that is rising up\, using the power of the people to challenge the slashing of publicly funded programs and services in inner city communities.  Not a simple illumination of individuals at their weakest\, The Throwaways seeks to inspire and empower by telling these collective stories of struggle while showing that hope does still exist.

SUMMARY:"Triple Divide" with Filmmakers Joshua B. Pribanic and Melissa Troutman
DESCRIPTION:Join filmmakers Joshua B. Pribanic and Melissa Troutman for a screening and discussion of their exciting documentary about shale gas\, Triple Divide. The documentary is Public Herald’s first investigations into the inevitable\, negative impacts from shale gas industrial development and how those impacts are handled by the state\, specifically the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNarrated by Academy Award nominated actor and environmental advocate Mark Ruffalo\, major findings include stark negligence and endangerment of public and environmental health due to shale gas extraction. Through personal stories\, expert interviews\, and investigation of state case files\, Triple Divide tells a cautionary tale about the corruption of a public agency meant to regulate industry and protect the public and environment. Though extraction of shale gas will one day end\, taking many “boom and bust” jobs with it\, contaminated groundwater aquifers\, polluted land\, and stories of victimization will remain. But some Pennsylvanians\, fed up with corruption and destruction\, won’t “go down” without a fight. \n\n\n\n“Neither partisan nor hyperbolic\, Triple Divide is an honest look at an industry that deserves more scrutiny. The film explores and uncovers the haphazard way in which natural gas has been exploited in Pennsylvania\, causing significant damage to formerly-pristine waterways. It clearly illustrates\, through painstaking investigative journalism\, how current safety measures and industry standards have proven entirely inadequate. I highly recommend this film to anyone who lives in the immediate area of hydraulic natural gas fracking\, as well as those downstream from a drilling site.” – Andrew Riedy\, Security Policy (Washington\, D.C.)

SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop with LoVid: QR Code Artworks
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to generate QR codes and explore creative possibilities of this medium — bridging design\, technology and craft. The final “QR Code Artworks” will be presented as public and collaborative art walks that engage audiences in experimental media as public art\, renewing appreciation of our physical surroundings.  \n\n\n\nLoVid is an interdisciplinary artist duo composed of Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus. Their work includes live video installations\, sculptures\, digital prints\, patchworks\, media projects\, performances\, and video recordings. They combine many opposing elements in their work\, contrasting hard electronics with soft patchworks\, analog and digital\, or handmade and machine produced objects. This multidirectional approach is also reflected in the content of their work: romantic and aggressive\, wireless and wire-full. They are interested in the ways in which the human body and mind observe\, process\, and respond to both natural and technological environments\, and in the preservation of data\, signals\, and memory.

SUMMARY:"Brothers of the Black List" with Filmmaker Sean Gallagher
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Sean Gallagher will present Brothers of the Black List\, a documentary which tells the story behind the longest litigated civil rights case in U.S. history. It all began in September 1992\, when an elderly woman in Oneonta\, NY reported that she had been attacked in an attempted rape by a young black male who cut his hand during the altercation. This led to a college administrator at nearby SUNY Oneonta giving police a list of the names and residences of all 125 black males in town\, questioning them and demanding to see their hands. Sean will be joined by Kirk Allen and Hugh Harris-Inniss\, and attorney Scott Fein. Kirk Allen and Hugh Harris-Inniss are graduates of SUNY Oneonta and were two of the 125 students put on the Black List. Scott Fein is the lawyer who represented the students during the Black List litigation. He is a partner at Whiteman Osterman & Hanna\, a law firm based in Albany\, NY. Co-sponsored by iEAR Presents! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE FILMMAKER \n\n\n\nDirector Sean Gallagher is a filmmaker based out of Westchester\, NY. He works as an in-house editor at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville\, NY. He also serves as a Media Advisor on the Advisory Board of Engeye Scholars\, a non-profit that supports the educational needs of children living in and around Ddegeya Village in Uganda. Brothers of the Black List is Sean’s first feature-length work. \n\n\n\nPEOPLE ARE SAYING… \n\n\n\n“The true life story behind Sean Gallagher’s gripping and deeply moving film\, Brothers of the Black List\, arises from a harrowing incident dating back to 1992. This unflinching and beautifully made documentary bears witness\, from a fresh perspective\, to the failure of our most honored institutions to help turn the tide on this persistent\, chronically American social dynamic. \n\n\n\n“In the days of stop-and-frisk and Trayvon Martin\, the well-manicured issue of equal rights – most especially as applies to young men of African descent – remains as molten as ever if you just pay attention to what’s going on\, or if you scratch the skin – as Sean Gallagher does here\, of our nation’s racial history through time immemorial. \n\n\n\n“The eponymous blacklisted brothers themselves are amazing to meet! There is more rooting interest’ on screen in this picture than in any Hollywood blockbuster. Looking back at the events that shaped\, and scarred\, their lives as college students\, these heroic\, now grown-up Americans make your heart break and your pulse pound at the horror of the what they were subjected to\, and the heroism and elegance of their responses\, both then and now.”   \n\n\n\n– Jonathan Demme\, Academy Award-winning filmmaker of The Silence of the Lambs\, Philadelphia\, and Rachel Getting Married

SUMMARY:"Household" with Filmmaker Craig Saddlemire
DESCRIPTION:Join filmmaker Craig Saddlemire for a screening of his critically acclaimed and thought-provoking documentary film\, Household. An extended refugee family from Somalia\, an interracial same-sex couple\, a single mother in a housing cooperative\, and a mother of six who has fostered nearly 50 children in her lifetime… None of these families have ever met each other before\, but at the invitation of a mutual friend and videomaker\, that will soon change. To explore how his friends and neighbors are defining family for themselves today\, Craig Saddlemire requested that four different households in his community allow him to document their routines and challenges. In addition to sharing their personal stories\, members from each family volunteered to research and narrate the story of a different family in the project. Through food\, finances\, and sibling disputes\, Household presents an ever-shifting perspective on the enduring bonds of kinship. It reveals what it means to be a family member by choice\, by birth\, and by circumstance. Co-sponsored by iEAR Presents! \n\n\n\nABOUT THE FILMMAKER \n\n\n\nCraig Saddlemire is an independent filmmaker who founded his production company\, Round Point Movies\, in 2004. Throughout his career\, Craig has explored the potential of film to be a participatory medium at all levels of the process\, as well as effectively upset oppressive cultural myths and misrepresentations in popular media. From developing a concept to recording and even exhibiting a video\, he is constantly exploring how the subject of a movie can be empowered as an agent of knowledge\, rather than the object of the director’s gaze. Combining observational and interactive modes of production\, Craig produces documentaries that\, in the tradition of Jean Rouch\, are not merely recording reality\, but in fact are producing new forms of reality that would not exist absent the camera. Household\, his latest film\, joins a filmography that includes the feature-length documentaries Neighbor by Neighbor (2009)\, about community opposition to a four-lane boulevard\, and De-Interlaced (2005)\, about mass media.

SUMMARY:Luísa Maita
DESCRIPTION:Sultry\, seductive\, and infused with that inimitable samba swing\, the music of Luísa Maita embodies the modern spirit of Brazil. Inspired by the bustling urban life found in her native city of São Paulo\, her first album\, Lero-Lero\, has a contemporary vibe with influences from alternative pop and downtempo electronic music melded with an acoustic foundation deeply rooted in samba\, bossa nova and MPB. Fans of Babel Gilberto\, Céu and Seu Jorge will find much to love in Luísa Maita’s tropical\, forward-looking sound\, and her sensual\, yet soulful voice begs comparisons with everyone from Billie Holiday and Sade to Feist\, St. Vincent and Cat Power. Hailing from a country overflowing with musical talent\, Luísa Maita rises above the fray as one of the most promising young singers of her generation.

SUMMARY:Oron Catts of SymbioticA and the Tissue Culture and Art Project
DESCRIPTION:Oron Catts is an artist\, researcher\, and curator whose pioneering work with the Tissue Culture and Art Project\, which he established in 1996\, is considered a leading biological art project. He is the founding director of SymbioticA\, which he co-founded in 2000\, an artistic research centre housed within the School of Anatomy\, Physiology and Human Biology\, The University of Western Australia. In his presentation\, Oron Catts will draw on his extensive experience of using tissue engineering for non-medical and artistic ends to speculate about what leads to these applications and their possible future development and applications. Avoiding utopian and dystopian postures\, opting instead to present scenarios open to be contestably challenged\, this talk will also highlight some philosophical and ethical considerations stemming from new technological approaches to life\, relating fields such as synthetic biology and metagenomics.
