SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art  Exhibition - \"The Machine Stops (or Inkjet My Foot!)\" 
DESCRIPTION:E.M. Forster's 1909 short story\, \"The Machine Stops\,\" describes a humanity threatened by its complete dependence upon the technology it created. Forgetting that it was the original creator of the \"Machine\,\" humankind grows to deify it\, to worship it\, and ultimately\, to follow it to its own demise. \"The Machine Stops (or Inkjet My Foot!)\" is a limited edition print portfolio inspired by Forster's short story. Using his prescient masterpiece as a point of reference\, the portfolio explores relationships between humanity and the technological world that is increasingly encompassing it. The intent is to present a collection of fine art prints contemplating the implications of technological progress through representational\, abstract and non-representational imagery. It showcases traditional hand lithography as a central medium while incorporating other such processes that accommodate the theme. Andrew Polk\, Organizer Kathryn Polk\, Co-organizer

SUMMARY:Cuneiform Exhibit and Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Special Collections at the University Libraries announces its newest exhibit\, \"Writings Out of Time\: The University of Arizona's Cuneiform Collection\,\" which examines the origins of early writing and literacy. Curated by Beth Alpert Nakhai\, professor of Judaic studies at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies\, \"Writings Out of Time\" is a showcase of the Arizona State Museum's extraordinary archaeological holdings in Near Eastern antiquities.The exhibit and a fall lecture series will illuminate some of the world's first methods of writing. The cuneiform tablets on display - primarily records of business transactions - are from half a dozen sites in southern Iraq. The tablets date from 2100-1800 B.C. and are unquestionably the oldest archive of literary materials in the state of Arizona. Other objects in \"Writings Out of Time\" include engraved cylinder and stamp seals from Iraq and Egypt\, a piece of papyrus with demotic writing\, and Imperial Roman-era Egyptian lamps signed by their makers. One piece\, a unique stone slab with a bas-relief carving\, comes from the palace of the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (668-627 B.C.) in Nineveh\, northern Iraq.A special series of lectures focused on the theme \"The Roots of Literacy in the Ancient Near East\" will be held throughout the fall. Lecturers will include faculty from the UA and scholars from around the country. A schedule is available online.

SUMMARY:\"Sentinels\" Exhibit\, by Lucinda Bliss
DESCRIPTION:\"Sentinels\" consists of a recent series of mixed media drawings in which Lucinda Bliss employs a playful visual language to speak to grave ecological\, and other\, concerns. Menageries of bandaged deer\, rabbits\, ostriches and birds balance in odd clusters in ephemeral habitats. Classifications and alliances are confused in the absence of definable place and natural order. The exploration continues in the altered book series\, \"Atlas of American Wars\, Books I-IV\,\" in which the visual language of playing cards is utilized.In this work Bliss is reconsidering \"monumental\,\" exploring whether it might be applied to delicate\, representational work\, and asking how a playful\, even beautiful\, visual language can speak to urgent social issues.

SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art Exhibiton - Brian Stauffer's \"Hard Eyes\: Images of Empathy\"

SUMMARY:\"Departure\" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Gross Gallery is pleased to announce the U.S. premiere of \"Departure\,\" a three-channel video installation by the artist duo Lin + Lam. Shot from the exploratory perspective of a moving car\, bicycle and trains\, the video travels through three postcolonial Asian cities\: Taipei\, Shanghai and Hanoi. The transformation of a road\, a bridge and railways parallels the cycle of construction and destruction that distinguish these sties of occupation.  The impact of modernization and foreign intervention on these urban environments is viewed through different modes of transporation.Lin + Lam's work takes shape in sculptural forms\, full-scale installations\, 16 mm film\, photography\, writing and performance. Since 2001\, they have developed projects that raise questions about nationalism and nationaly identity\, the contingency of memory and the haunting of daily life by the spectre of war\, militarism and socio-political inequities.  Inspired by a particular site\, historical incident or political issue\, their work emerges from the interrelation between current events and residues of the past.

SUMMARY:\"Eclectic Arizona\" Photography Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Campus Christian Center Art Gallery at the University of Arizona is proud to announce its current exhibit \"Eclectic Arizona\,\" featuring photographs by Frances Pearson.Pearson has been photographing Arizona landscapes and events with a digital camera for five years. She got interested in photography in 1989 by enrolling in non-credit courses at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington\, D.C.

Attracted to patterns and their repetitions\, she believes that light is the transforming element in photography. It takes skill and serendipity to capture this transformation. Rodeos\, butterflies at Tucson Botanical Gardens and road trip scenes are some of the subjects on display. The Gallery is located at 715 N. Park Ave. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 4\:30 p.m. This free exhibit runs from Oct. 19 through Dec. 11.

SUMMARY:Volunteer for Arizona Agriculture Literacy Days 
DESCRIPTION:Do children really know where our food comes from? Unfortunately\, many only think of the supermarket and forget\, or are oblivious to the fact\, that it all starts on farms and ranches. This year\, during the fourth annual Arizona Agriculture Literacy Days\, Nov. 23-25\, take 20 minutes to visit a nearby elementary school and read \"Living on Farms\" to a first-\, second- or third-grade classroom. By briefly giving of yourself\, you will help the upcoming generation see how connected we all are to agriculture.    It's easy to do. First\, think of the children in your life. They may be your own children\, nieces/nephews or grandchildren\; they could also be the kids in your neighborhood\, or those that you smile at as you drive past their elementary school on your way to work. Second\, contact the school's librarian\, and have him or her coordinate your visit with a classroom (or you can contact a teacher directly). Finally\, contact Brandon Moak at BMoak@cals.arizona.edu or 602-827-8200\, Ext. 389\, no later than Nov. 12 to receive the book to read and donate. You will need to provide your name and mailing address and the school's name and distrcit.

SUMMARY:\"Here - Standing Still\" Exhibit 
DESCRIPTION:\"Here - Standing Still\,\" an installation by Chika Matsuda\, explores the spatial tensions between people and their surrounding environments. The artist invites her audience to stand on a square plane of grass\, isolated by the muted floor\, and reflect in the moment. She wishes to demonstrate how \"the body becomes the path between the earth and the sky\, and elongates them infinitely.\" By allowing the viewer to confront nothing but himself or herself\, the viewer is confronted by an experiential tension and relation to nature.

SUMMARY:UA Archive Ensemble Concert Accompanying the 1955 Film \"Teenage Devil Dolls\"
DESCRIPTION:The UA Archive Ensemble\, under the direction of Keith Pawlak\, will be behind the screen performing Robert Drasnin's score to the film \"Teenage Devil Dolls.\" The concert will feature a live presentation of the score\, set to film\, and a narration by School of Theatre Arts faculty artist Monte Ralstin. Following the concert there will be a discussion with the composer.The 60-minute feature was a 1956 Look Magazine intercollegiate award winner for best college-made film of the year. It was written\, produced and directed by Bamlet L. Price Jr. for a master's thesis at UCLA in 1955. Price\, who also acted in the film\, hired a fellow graduate student\, Robert Drasnin\, to write the score to the picture. The score is being presented for the first time from manuscripts housed in the UA School of Music's jazz and popular music archive. \"Teenage Devil Dolls\" tells the story of a young girl whose life spirals out of control through drug-induced juvenile delinquency. The plot follows in the path of the exploitation films of the 1930s and 1940s - most notably via parallels to the marijuana classic \"Reefer Madness.\" The film\, which was originally released as \"One Way Ticket to Hell\,\" was re-titled for home video and late-night television viewing in the 1980s. The UA School of Music's jazz and popular music archive holds several prominent American music collections\, including Artie Shaw\, Les Baxter\, Nelson Riddle\, Paul Horn\, Robert Drasnin\, Paul Weston and Jo Stafford. For more information visit the School of Music Web site or contact Keith Pawlak\, music curator\, at keithp@email.arizona.edu.

SUMMARY:Cognitive Science Colloquium (CogSci Brown Bag)
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Goldreich\, a professor at McMaster University\, will present \"A Bayesian Perceptual Explanation for the Tactile Rabbit and Other Curious Cutaneous Illusions.\"  Speaker's abstract\:Sensorineural activity provides imprecise\, often ambiguous information about the external world. A growing body of work suggests that the brain perceives amid uncertainty through a process of Bayesian inference\, interpreting vague sensory information in light of prior experience to generate optimal percepts. Following an introduction to the principles of Bayesian inference - drawing on cognitive\, auditory and visual examples - Goldreich will present a Bayesian perceptual model that replicates several interesting tactile illusions. For example\, in the cutaneous rabbit and related illusions\, perception strikingly shrinks the intervening distance and expands the elapsed time between consecutive taps to the skin. Goldreich will show that the Bayesian perceptual model reproduces these observed illusory effects\: perceptual length contraction and time dilation.
