Every Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m., the Emergent Digital Practices department hosts Digiart Wednesdays, its series of lectures by virtual scholars. Each artist, thinker and/or creator is streamed into the Hypercube (an area on the top floor of Shwayder Art Building) for a discussion on his or her work.

Guests in the past have included Chaim Gingold, a computer scientist and designer who worked on the game “Spore” and an acclaimed science book for iPads titled “Earth, a Primer” and Jeremy Bailey, an artist who creates internet performance artwork— including the You Museum, the world’s first and only personal museum the replaces banner ads on the internet with various personalized pieces of art.

The lineup of speakers still to come is also comprised of an array of impressive individuals not to be missed. On April 29, Angela Washko, a feminist digital artist whose recent work includes creating performances inside World of Warcraft initiating conversations about feminism within the game, will be speaking. May 5 will see a visit from Yael Braha, a creative director, designer, filmmaker and fine artist who recently developed projections for the UN building in NYC to call for action on climate change. A complete list of coming artists can be found under “News and Events” on the Emergent Digital Practices website.

In addition, for those interested in emerging new technologies themselves, the department also hosts Tech Tuesdays, in which students are able to demo the latest in cutting-edge technology. The events begin every Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the Hypercube, and past technologies have included a 3D Projector, the Oculus Rift and 3D printing. Upcoming events will include a Touch Table and LIDAR Lite Modules. For a complete schedule, refer to the “News and Events” section of the Emergent Digital Practices website.
