» Sung Hwan Kim: Summer Days in Keijo--written in 1937

MIT Calendar - Sun, 11/22/2009
Kim often integrates video and performance art, and takes on the role of director, editor, performer, composer, narrator, and writer to create works that are narrative yet dreamlike. His Summer Days in Keijo--written in 1937 is a fictional documentary based on Swedish ethnographer and zoologist Sten Bergman's 1937 travelogue In Korean Wilds and Villages. Keijo was the Japanese colonial name for Gyeongseong or Seoul, and Kim traces Bergman's pre-war path through present-day Seoul, using a Dutch female protagonist in his place. Kim created an elaborate soundtrack to the film in collaboration with the Amsterdam- and New York-based musician David Michael DiGregorio also known as dogr.

» OFF-CAMPUS: Neri Oxman: At the Frontier of Ecological Design

MIT Calendar - Sun, 11/22/2009
Biology inspires Architecture graduate student Neri Oxman. Working at the interface of environmental design, science, and art, Oxman is inventing the future of energy-efficient building materials. A Presidential Fellow at MIT's Department of Architecture, Oxman is inventing novel ways to design, fabricate, assemble, and maintain building "skins" so they can respond to load, light, and heat simultaneously. Think buildings that breathe, sweat, and grow. "I believe that, within two decades, buildings will be designed and constructed as biological tissues," says Oxman. Daily hours may vary.

MIT Calendar - Sun, 11/22/2009
Working as a collaborative team from 1976 until 1982, Kit Fitzgerald and John Sanborn created dynamic fusions of video art and television tactics. Their kinetic use of editing and post-production effects defined their energetic juxtapositions of visual, musical and conceptual themes. In Ear to the Ground, Fitzgerald and Sanborn collaborated with acclaimed New York musician David Van Tieghem. This 1982 video depicts Tieghem as he uses the city of Manhattan as his musical instrument, playing the surfaces of the sidewalks, buildings and phone booths with his drumsticks to elicit an ingenious range of percussive sounds. On view 24 hours/day.
