SUMMARY:Sam Cusumano
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual Arts-Engineering talk/performance/workshop with Sam Cusumano. Cusumano is an Engineer for the Arts living in Philadelphia working with students\, artists\, musicians\, and curators to create educational interactive electronic devices and installations. As part of his creative practice\, he has connected plants and fungi with synthesizers to make music. Biodata Sonification is the process of representing invisible changes in plants to create music. By detecting microcurrent fluctuations across the surface of a plant’s leaf\, these changes are used to generate MIDI notes which can be played through a synthesizer or computer to create sound. In this virtual presentation Sam Cusumano will explain methods used to tap into the secret life of plants\, showing how to translate data for making music\, and discuss the implications of interpreting biodata. Audio examples of Biodata Sonification will be performed live using analog synthesizers\, digital audio workstations\, and synth apps along with a Snake Plant\, large Monstera\, and various Cacti. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required. \nThis event is being recorded for educational and archival purposes and it may be posted on our website. By participating in this presentation\, you give permission for Monmouth University to record the presentation for University purposes. You understand that your name\, likeness\, voice and statements may be recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded\, a recording of this presentation will later be available upon request\, and you can contact Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu) with any questions you may have regarding the presentation.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Octavia E. Butler\, Parable of the Sower
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower. \nThis acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning author “pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid’s Tale” and includes a foreword by N. K. Jemisin (John Green\, New York Times). \nWhen global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s\, California becomes full of dangers\, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father\, family\, and neighbors\, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk\, she suffers from hyperempathy\, a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. \nPrecocious and clear-eyed\, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. 

 \nPlease stay tuned for more details about an in-person location for this event when more information becomes available.

SUMMARY:Atlantics Virtual Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series zoom discussion illuminating the theme “Living on the Edge: Displacement\, Identity\, and Resilience” by analyzing the message and impact of the 2019 film\, Atlantics. \nAtlantics (French: Atlantique) is a internationally co-produced supernatural romantic drama film directed by Mati Diop\, in her feature directorial debut. It was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Diop made history when the film premiered at Cannes\, becoming the first Black woman to direct a film featured in competition at the festival. \nThe film is centered around a young woman\, Ada\, and her partner\, Souleiman\, struggling in the face of employment\, class\, migration\, crime\, family struggles\, and ghosts. Working mostly with unknown actors\, Diop focused in the film on issues such as the refugee crisis\, remorse\, loss\, grief\, class struggle\, and taking responsibility (or not) of one’s actions. The Atlantic Ocean is used in many ways throughout the film\, including as a symbol and engine for change\, growth\, life\, and death. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by  Dr. Julius Adekunle\, Professor in the department of History and Anthropology and Dr. Lisa Vetere\, Associate Professor in the department of English. \nThe film is available for streaming on Netflix. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Record Club: Simon and Garfunkel\, Bridge over Troubled Water
DESCRIPTION:It’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology\, the way we consume music through our devices\, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora\, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss. This event will feature Simon and Garfunkel\, Bridge over Troubled Water. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Record Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.  \nPlease stay tuned for more details about an in-person location for this event when more information becomes available.
