[Sci-tech-public] Fri., May 6, 1-5pm FINAL Sensing the Unseen @ MIT - "The Transitory: Filming"

[Amberly Steward]

You are warmly invited to a special "Sensing the Unseen" seminar this
Friday, May 6.  
Please note NEW time (1-5pm) & venue (MIT Bartos Theater)! 
  
Please join us for an afternoon of multimedia presentation and discussion. 
  
Our final "Sensing the Unseen" seminar focuses on how recording technologies
- film, audio, images, interactive media - change the ways that we
investigate and portray the evanescent, the transitory, the
just-out-of-view.  The first part of the afternoon seminar will be devoted
to screenings and discussions of ethnographically inflected
works-in-progress by area media makers. The second part of the seminar
features a multimedia round-table with presentations of new work by graduate
student media-makers.  We will conclude with an open discussion on the
future of media anthropology as a mode of sensory study. 
  
All seminar meetings are free and open to the public - no registration is
required.
