Platonic Voyage is a media-based performance that uses Google Earth 5.0 to simulate the experience of an ocean voyage.

Equal parts allegory and video game, Platonic Voyage uses the Internet and computer technologies to explore the ways in which virtual spaces and activities have come to function in contemporary society as a surrogate for the real.

Bergren Forum: Dr. Addison Frey — ’Is it Live ...’
- (12:10 PM - 1:00 PM) The Bergren Forum sponsored by the Division of Human Studies will be meeting at 12:10 PM on Thursday September 3rd in the Nevins Theatre, Powell Campus Center.

Bring a brown bag lunch; coffee and tea are complimentary.

Speaker: Addison Frey
Topic: "Is it Live, or is it Fractal?"

A geometric shape is self-similar if it can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-sized copy of the whole. A fractal has the additional property that it has an irregular structure at infinitely small scales. In nature objects such as clouds, smoke, mountain ranges, and lightning display approximate fractal characteristics. We will describe how to mathematically generate fractals to simulate natural objects and then compare some of these natural objects with mathematically generated fractals. Will we be able to tell which is which?

Afro-Semitic Experience
- (8:00 PM - 11:00 PM) "When Connecticut’s Afro-Semitic Experience — think Jewish wedding, revival meeting and Charles Mingus all at once — lays down the groove, your ears pop with strange sensations. A lot of genre combining ends up being mediocrity with an identity problem. But jazz collaborators David Chaven and Warren Byrd are so good at what they do that the resulting mix is compelling and decidely not esoteric." - James Heflin, The Valley Advocate

09/04/2009
Guest Artist - Afro-Semitic Experience
- (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM) On September 4, Afro-Semitic Experience will perform in Holmes Auditorium at 8 p.m. The band is made up of African-American and Jewish-American musicians who are dedicated to preserving, promoting and expanding the rich cultural and musical heritage of the Jewish and African Diasporas. Since 1997, the co-founders of the group, African-American jazz pianist Warren Byrd, and Jewish-American jazz bassist David Chevan have been presenting a unique musical program that merges their distinct cultures and heritages and delivers a positive and meaningful message about Black-Jewish relations. The group presents interpretations of music from the rich traditions of the two cultures: gospel, klezmer, nigunim, spirituals, bebop and swing. In performance the musicians frame the music, telling stories about what the pieces mean, how they relate to us as individual members of the community, and how they reflect upon the relations between Blacks and Jews.
The public is invited to this performance, which is co-sponsored by the Division of Performing Arts and Hillel and generously funded by Hillel at Alfred.

AU MSDS Online User Class
- (1:20 PM - 2:35 PM) Beginning with the Fall 2009 semester, Environmental Health and Safety is offering a new training class for faculty, staff, and students who wish to utilize our MSDS Online system. Knowing the hazards in and around your work area, lab, or classroom is essential to your personal health and welfare.

Employees of Alfred University are required by OSHA to become familiar with the hazards in and around their work place. The best way to recognize hazards is by reading the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of those hazardous products or chemicals you have the potential to come in contact with.

This is an introductory class to the MSDS Online system. Using individual computers we will access Alfred University MSDS Online, search for MSDS’s located around the campus, assess some MSDS’s for applicable content, review some of the features available via the MSDS Online system, try to answer any specific questions you might have and if time allows, take a look at other relevant information available via the Environmental Health and Safety web site.

The class is free to a faculty, staff, and students. Due to the limited number of computers available in the classroom, we will accept the first 20 people who pre-register.

To pre-register for this class e-mail Dean Perry, perrydr@alfred.edu, or call x3020 (607.871.3020 from off-campus phones).

Ferrous Bloom opens Friday at the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery
- (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM) "Ferrous Bloom," an international group exhibition exploring the nature of iron, opens Friday, Oct. 30 at the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery with an artist reception running from 7-9 p.m. Exhibiting artists include Christian Benefiel, MD, Laurence Edwards, UK, Andy Griffiths, Wales, Ginny Hutchinson, Scotland, Marjee Levine, MA, Carolyn Ottmers, IL and Vaughn Randall, NY.

Curated by Coral Lambert, Assistant Professor of Sculpture/Dimensional Studies, the artists represented in "Ferrous Bloom" examine the unique and fascinating nature of the medium as a sculptural vehicle. Drawing on its innate physical properties and rich historical associations, the work ranges from object-based installations and large-scale pieces to projections.

The exhibition will be on view through Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2009. Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays, 1-3 p.m. weekends; the gallery is closed University holidays.

"Ferrous Bloom" takes place in conjunction with "MELTDOWN," the 3rd Annual Iron Pour and Metal Casting Convention at Alfred’s National Casting Centre Foundry on Saturday, 31st October from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Artists Christian Benefeil, Andy Griffiths, and Carolyn Ottmers will be making work in the Foundry during the week prior to the opening reception alongside our students, creating a unique opportunity to witness first hand the process involved in making the work.

ABOUT IRON:
Contemporary artists working with iron use it as a sculptural vehicle for the imagination, drawing on its innate material properties and rich historical associations. Some respond to its industrial heritage others to its transient liquid state, to its physical weight and permanence: like wood, iron can be experienced as a living material as it breaths, oxidizes, and grows. At the same time, it is a commonplace feature of regulation manhole covers and postboxes; it can be raw and elemental, raised from the earth’s depths by volcanoes and embedded in meteorites; or it can be elaborately ornamental, tracing the balconies of New Orleans, the spans of great bridges, and the decorative functionality of Victorian potbelly stoves.

Iron has bridged art and technology throughout the ages, serving growth and development as well as cultural creativity. Contemporary artists continue to use it as a means of developing technologies that express and respond to current issues. Within the field of contemporary cast iron art, artists are, on the one hand, experimenting with the use of computer technology to create and alter forms and, on the other hand, building their own backyard foundries using readily available materials such as garbage cans to melt iron. The artist as caster also taps into the advantages of collaboration, forming a bridge between individual creative output and collective production, which in turn has resulted in a unique approach to collaborative public art projects and has created an energetic dialogue about the casting process as art in itself.

Guest Artist Karen Bernard Performs ’Ouette’
- (5:00 PM - 6:00 PM) "Ouette" is loosely based on François Ozon movie "Swimming Pool." Karen Bernard’s character parallels the story’s protagonist, an elderly English novelist who, becomes involved in a dangerous sexual fantasy that is part her fiction and part her desire. Bernard uses a laptop and projector to create different spaces evoking the imagined and real experiences. With video footage of floor tiles, patterned fabrics and human silhouettes, Bernard creates a heightened film noir that is quickly fractured by the non-performative technical tasks of manipulating the lap top and projector.

New York City-based soloist Karen Bernard is a performing artist and the Founder and Director of New Dance Alliance (NDA), a non-profit arts service organization that produces an annual performance festival, now in its 24th year. She also teaches, lectures and serves on advisory panels across the United States, Canada, and Europe. She is committed to nurturing an ongoing social dialogue among U.S. and international artists, one that exemplifies her lifelong commitment to performance.

Between 1986 and 1998, Bernard presented a series of solos in collaboration with Dia Center for Arts. These solos mark the passages of her life experiences as daughter, wife, mother and artist. She has been described as a “spellbinding performer with unusual themes” by Jennifer Dunning in New York Times.

Speaker: Kathy Woughter
Topic: "The Story Behind the Women’s Leadership Center"

Many years ago, faculty and staff on campus began advocating for a Women’s Center on Alfred’s campus, in keeping with our history of equality and inclusion and with regard to the information we had about our women students. This Bergren Forum will explore some tof the early data that was used to support the need for a traditional Women’s Center, and will trace forward the way in which our community was able to conceptualize, advocate for, and eventually secure funding for which is now the Women’s Leadership Center. I hope to share a story of collaboration and advocacy, but I also hope the audience will share their recollections to help fill in the many gaps that still exist.
