SUMMARY:Harvard CAMLab Fall Public Visits
DESCRIPTION:reserve a tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Public Visits\, CAMLab welcomes our audiences to explore immersive installations that stage cultural history with digital technologies. \n\n\n\nCAMLab Cave Public Visits are guided group tours. Reservations are limited to 15 per hour\, in order to preserve the experiential dimension of CAMLab’s multisensorial project installations. Tours are led by a team of Harvard Student Educators\, hailing from graduate programs across the university as well as Harvard College. \n\n\n\nCurrently installed in CAMLab Cave\, the Cave Dance and Embodied Architecture projects activate the narrative\, cultural\, and sensorial potentials of interpreting historical data. \n\n\n\nCave Dance integrates thousands of depictions of dance from Dunhuang with motion capture of trained dancers\, who performed movements preserved by textual records. With this human-computer collaborative choreography as its foundation\, the Cave Dance installation instantiates movement sequences within ethereal motifs and enacts the “bodiless body\,” a state of transcendence epitomized by celestial dancers at Dunhuang. \n\n\n\nCombining photogrammetry with procedural generation and CGI\, Embodied Architecture presents the world’s most comprehensive 3D model of the Yingxian pagoda\, the world’s tallest timber structure. Serving as a stage for opening a cosmological understanding\, the installation progressively unfolds the multisensory experience that the pagoda embodies—elucidating the lens of ritual practice. \n\n\n\nAdvanced reservations are required\, and all are welcome. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with $10.00 suggested for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Objects of Addiction: The Legacy of the Opium Wars
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:Mark Elliott\, Vice Provost for International Affairs; Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History\, Harvard UniversityWilliam Kirby\, T. M. Chang Professor of China Studies\, Harvard University; Spangler Family Professor of Business Administration\, Harvard Business SchoolRana Mitter\, S. T. Lee Professor of U.S.–Asia Relations\, Harvard Kennedy SchoolMeg Rithmire\, F. Warren McFarlan Associate Professor of Business Administration\, Harvard Business SchoolMark Wu\, Director of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University; Henry L. Stimson Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School \n\n\n\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Objects of Addiction: Opium\, Empire\, and the Chinese Art Trade\, Harvard faculty in Chinese history\, business\, politics\, and law will take part in a roundtable discussion on the 19th-century Opium Wars and the legacy of the opium trade in U.S.–China relations. \n\n\n\nObjects of Addiction: Opium\, Empire\, and the Chinese Art Trade (September 15\, 2023–January 14\, 2024) explores the entwined histories of the opium trade and the Chinese art market between the late 18th and early 20th centuries. These two commodities—acquired through both legal and illicit means—had profound effects on the global economy\, public health\, immigration law\, education\, and the arts that are reverberating still today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Margaret Hillenbrand - Read Your Mind: Facial Recognition Technology and Contemporary Chinese Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Margaret Hillenbrand\, Professor of Modern Chinese Literature and Culture\, University of Oxford \n\n\n\nMargaret Hillenbrand’s paper probes the links between facial recognition technology and contemporary Chinese portraiture. Its point of departure is a recent paper published by two AI researchers based in China. The paper introduces a facial recognition algorithm apparently capable of predicting the status of an individual as a convicted criminal with almost 90% accuracy using only a driver’s license-style photograph. Unsurprisingly\, the paper attracted a furious backlash\, as commentators around the world pointed out its unabashed parallels with the long-discredited pseudosciences of physiognomy and phrenology. Less obvious\, though equally intriguing\, is the relationship between this branch of facial recognition technology and the practices of art-making. To explore this submerged linkage\, Hillenbrand turns to the work of contemporary painters Fang Lijun and Yue Minjun\, whose experiments in the domain of portraiture mirror in inverted\, mocking ways the operations of machine learning software which attempts to read the human mind and predict behavior. These parallels matter because they show that many facial recognition technologies are brazen forms of visual media\, interventions in the seeable world which borrow outrageously from pictorial traditions of portraiture\, old and new. This recourse to art\, the disdained domain of subjectivity\, within the professedly impartial\, ideologically scientized field of facial algorithms shakes the latter’s foundational myth: namely\, that individual identity is genomically predetermined in ways which only the most objective methods can disclose. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.Register: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/97027197260?pwd=MnJzR3JKUjR0Vlk2WU1VdjRxcURodz09 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
