[Glass-mit] 2024 Hazlegrove Lecture at MIT

[Peter Houk]

Dear Friends of the MIT Glass Lab,

We invite you to attend this year’s Page Hazlegrove Lecture in Glass Art,
featuring artist *Ginny Ruffner*. The lecture will be in room 10-250, in
the center of MIT’s campus, on Wednesday, November 13th at 6:00PM.

Ruffner’s long, illustrious and prolific career has covered a wide amount
of territory, from the pioneering torch-worked and painted glass works that
first brought her notoriety, to multimedia public art, to - more recently -
installation work that combines glass and other objects with Augmented
Reality.

This year the lecture will be different in a couple of ways. First of all,
Ruffner will deliver the lecture and slide presentation from her home
studio in Seattle via Zoom. As a way of making the lecture special for
in-person attendees, she has sent us various printed materials that will
serve as targets for her work in Augmented Reality (AR). Printed
postcard-sized renderings of Ruffner’s paintings (there are about a dozen
different designs), will be given to attendees at the door for use with her
AR application. Viewing the postcard through your phone or tablet will
generate a secondary image to surprise and delight you. *I recommend that
everyone attending the in-person lecture use the QR code on the attached
invitation to download the Ginny Ruffner AR app before coming to the
lecture.* The app is also available via Ginny’s website. In addition to the
printed paper souvenirs we’ll have some large posters from her newest
AR-related project, *The Bounty of Unpolluting*.

In-person or virtually, we hope you can make it to the lecture this year!
Unlike the last several pandemic-afflicted years, this year attendees will
be able to walk right in the front door at 77 Massachusetts Avenue without
needing any special pass. For those of you who are new to MIT, the lecture
will be in Building 10, room 250, which is just off the Infinite Corridor
on the second floor of building 10. You can access a campus map at
https://whereis.mit.edu/ to locate building 10.

And for those of you who will not be able to make it to the lecture in
person, here is a Zoom link to the lecture.

After the lecture there will be a Q&A period that will include questions
from both the in-person and virtual populations.



Cheers,

Peter
