SUMMARY:"Aristide and the Endless Revolution" with Filmmaker Nicolas Rossier
DESCRIPTION:While the international community passively looked on\, the democratically elected president of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere was violently deposed twice. Aristide: and the Endless Revolution (2005) investigates the events in Haiti that led to the second brutal deposition of Jean Bertrand Aristide. The archival footage and interviews soon make it clear that the United States played a key role in this. Former colonizer France also had substantial interests in the developments in Haiti. Shortly before his second deposition\, Aristide demanded that France pay compensation for the damage his country had suffered through French colonial exploitation: $21\,685\,135\,671.48\, to be exact. It was a last desperate move of a president (and former priest) who strove for a dignified form of poverty for his people. Both supporters and opponents of his policy are introduced in this investigative documentary. Director Rossier\, whose Brothers and Others was screened at the 2003 IDFA in the USA Today section\, interviewed people like Noam Chomsky\, the assistant United States Secretary of State Roger Noriega\, actor and UN goodwill ambassador Danny Glover\, and many Haitians. Of course\, Aristide himself also appears. Preceeded by a reception for the Underground Gallery\, featuring an exhibition of Haitian art featuring the work of Haitian artists Azouke Sanon and Jean-Marie Gabriel (which will be on display through the month of May).

SUMMARY:"Inter/Play..." with Pauline Oliveros and Surajit Sarkar
DESCRIPTION:Art blends with politics as experimental music pioneer Pauline Oliveros and media artist Surajit Sarkar join creative forces at The Sanctuary For Independent Media!  \n\n\n\nEven as internet use has grown exponentially\, the hierarchy of metaphors that describe it has remained constant: The internet is most of all a mail pigeon\, then a library\, then an amusement park\, then a shopping center. For the most part\, the online world mirrors the offline world. People bring to the Internet the activities\, interests\, and behaviors that preoccupied them before theWeb existed. But it has also enabled new kinds of activities – and certainly not in the way people are doing them now. Broadband internet engenders a new era of instant connection and interactivity. Here\, the totality of representations exists in virtual proximity. Representation and communication have become one. Does it mean that the Net is the infrastructure of a dynamic new human consciousness powered by associative thought\, of CYBERCEPTION? An emerging human faculty of technologically-augmented cognition and perception? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Biographies\n\n\n\nSurajit Sarkar is currently visiting from India as a professor in the Arts Department at Rensselaer. He has worked in professional television in India\, creating weekly programs\, as well as documentary and educational films. He has worked as a video artist for theatre and dance stage productions as well\, and is a founding member of the CatapultArts Caravan\, a travelling video+ arts group who believe that the biggest challenge today is to maintain our sense of selves as we grapple the tidal wave of a national and supra national economy and its allied cultural creations. \n\n\n\nPauline Oliveros is a sound explorer\, improviser and composer. She has involved herself with electronic music since the end of the 1959s and is widely known for her accordion playing with electronics using herExpanded Instrument System (EIS). She also founded Deep ListeningInstitute\, Ltd. in 1985 to encourage others in the practice of DeepListening for creativity and heightened awareness of sound and sounding. Recently with her Deep Listening Band she performed with fourteen Philadelphia musicians during a residency at Trinity Center for Urban Life sponsored by the American Composer’s Forum. She teaches at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the Department of the Arts.
