* Psychological Prosthetics training session - 04/21/2007 http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=374
Over the last few years, a new group of artists have
emerged that package themselves as corporate entities.
They develop a company name, a branding scheme, and utilize
the language of advertising and marketing. These individual
artists and collectives create art objects, marketing
materials, and performative event-based pieces that can exist
in a gallery setting as well as in the public sphere.
* Aesthetics of Editing - 04/22/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=328
The editing process is where the essence, method, and
theories of filmmaking truly come together, where
connections are made, comparisons are drawn, and film
becomes art. In this class we will leave software and
hardware behind and focus on the art and craft of cutting.
The class will explore a wide range of concepts in editing
such as juxtaposition, pacing, montage, the use of sound,
and more. Examples will be drawn from narrative and
documentary films as well as music videos, commercials and
experimental films. This is primarily a lecture class, with
an inspiring range of clips, and time for discussion.

* Frisbee image - 04/22-23/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=338
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=339
Lonnie Frisbee was a young hippie fully immersed in the
1960s counterculture when he experienced an encounter
with God while on an acid trip. The event so transformed
him that Lonnie became an itinerant Christian evangelist,
something of a John the Baptist of Southern California,
who compelled thousands towards Jesus Christ. Fascinatingly,
his call into Christian ministry came while deeply involved
in the Laguna Beach homosexual scene. Dying in 1993 as a
result of AIDS, he has been marginalized from history by
the very men whose evangelical ministries he helped establish.
* Screening: SheWrite - 04/23/2007 http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=347
SheWrite weaves together the narratives and work of four
Tamil women poets. Salma negotiates subversive expression
within the tightly circumscribed space allotted to a woman
in the small town of Thuvarankurichi. For Kuttirevathi, a
Siddha doctor and researcher based in Chennai, solitude is
a crucial creative space from where her work resonates.
