In the Weeds: Art and the Natural World showcases six artists who are examining the complicated relationship between humans and the environment. Many of these artists bridge art and science to bring to life processes that may otherwise elude the general public. Through seed collecting, camouflage, performance, video, and artists’ books, artists Kwang Choi, Rachel Frank, Jenny Kendler, Next Epoch Seed Library (a collaboration between Ellie Irons and Anne Percoco), and Tammy Nguyen consider issues of rewilding and human influence on the natural world.
The exhibition runs October 23—December 12, 2019

loop: Viral Musicking and the Aesthetics of Contagion
2019-10-31 11:00 - 12:30 | Knapton Lecture Hall, Norton, Massachusetts, 02766
Dr. Paula Harper, Washington University in St. Louis, will deliver the talk “<loop>: Viral Musicking and the Aesthetics of Contagion” on Thursday, October 31, at 11 a.m. at Knapton Lecture. Dr. Harper’s presentation maps the circular structures of media and behavior that enable viral circulation, as well as the cyclical nature of digital viruses themselves. From the obnoxious lo-fi loops of GeoCities sites and WebRings, to a contemporary landscape of TikTok and silently-sonic .gifs, this talk explores how early-Internet necessity and limitation became aesthetic, and traces the spiraling interplays between platforms and participation through which content becomes contagion. For more information, contact Will Mason at mason_william@wheatoncollege.edu.
