Wired! symposium to showcase digital arts Lucy Zhang The Chronicle Faculty and students from many disciplines at Duke are searching for connections between what is old in art and what is new in technology. The Duke Wired! group will examine the intersection of modern technology and the artistic humanities in its “Apps, Maps & Models: Digital Pedagogy and Research in Art History, Archaeology and Visual Studies”

symposium Feb. 22. The free, one-day symposium features distinguished professors from across the country speaking on topics as diverse as “mapping architecture in 1914 1924 Germany” to “Italian Renaissance Piazza as a social media space.” Wired! is composed of faculty, staff and undergraduate and graduate students and applies the study of culture, art, architecture and urban history. The symposium itself marks significant strides in the group’s efforts to engage more of the community in the digital humanities.

Special to The Chronicle The Wired! symposium will look at topics such as a bust of the Virgin Mary and modeling of the agora of ancient Athens.

“As our group has grown and evolved, with numerous teaching and research initiatives, we thought it was time to evaluate our initial vision to understand how our work relates to that of the broader emerging disciplines in digital humanities and digital art history,” Caroline Bruzelius, Anne M. Cogan Professor of Art, Art History and Visual Studies, and John Taormina, director of the Visual Media Center, wrote jointly in an email. Wired! originally consisted of a small but diverse group—a classical archaeologist, a visual artist, an art historian, a media studies specialist and a computer scientist. Their original goal of exploring digital visualization technologies for art, architecture and urban space expanded into courses for students of all levels, multiple research projects at the Wired! Lab and other teaching and research initiatives. In 2014, Wired! introduced a degree in Historical and Cultural Visualization. The Wired! group has also organized an impressive group of speakers from Duke and outside institutions for the symposium, each working on unique projects. “We looked for really interesting projects that involve a wide range of digital tools (3D modeling, ArcGis, mapping tools, databases, interactive museum displays, apps, etc.) from ancient to modern art and architecture, including both western and non-western

topics,” Bruzelius and Taormina wrote. Several of Wired!’s past projects have also incorporated such tools. One project, “Old Stones, New Technologies,” was headed by Bruzelius and professor of computer science Carlo Tomasi and tested a data capture system to study medieval construction and labor. Through the system, students studied historical buildings using data mining, texture analysis and pattern recognition. The team of the Wired! group’s ongoing “Digital Athens” project is producing a database and digital map of archaeological remains of ancient Athens. The digitization and visualization are based on data from historical maps and material collected from the Athens Metro Excavations. Digital technology is now permeating almost every aspect of material culture. While materials such as art pieces and architecture reveal thousands of stories about civilizations and history, Bruzelius and Taormina drew attention to the gap between these unheard stories and the modern museum visitor. In Fall 2014, “Digital Athens” received a grant from the Josiah Charles Trent Memorial Foundation Endowment Fund to cover expenses for an undergraduate to work on the project in Athens and encounter See SYMPOSIUM on Page 11

Special to The Chronicle The Wired! group meets in Smith Warehouse to discuss their various projects. The lab brings together faculty, graduate and undergraduate students to combine technology and art.

‘Life Inside’: Duke students’ podcast highlights life on campus Jessica Williams The Chronicle Although Duke has many print and visual sources of news for University and student life, audio sources do not have a mainstream presence on campus. “Life Inside,” a podcast set to launch by the end of Januar y, hopes to fill this void by producing episodes about ever yday life at Duke. Created on campus by Duke undergraduates, “Life Inside” aims to be a new, authentic take on Duke life. Topics for episodes, ranging from K-Ville to the contrast between freshman and senior experiences, will cover all aspects of campus living. The first broadcast will highlight a topic relevant on campus but rarely spoken about—fifth year seniors. Although “Life Inside” plans to discuss lighter and more fun subjects in its first few segments, the founders hope to move towards more serious and possibly controversial themes as they gain more experience. “Duke does a really good job at documenting things, like in classes and student broadcasting, but most of that is in video format. In doing audio format we’re going to expose student life to a new, different way of thinking,” said sophomore Luisa Frasson-Nori, a co-founder of “Life Inside.” Individual professors and

departments have developed podcasts in the past, but not about topics relevant to students and their daily lives. In using a different form of media, the founders of “Life Inside” hope to connect to students through both its format and subject matter. “People should really give audio a chance, because it’s a really good thing to do while you’re making your bed, brushing your teeth, walking to class—for times you don’t have all your focus you can still listen to something really valuable,” FrassonNori said. Lasting approximately 30 minutes,

each episode of “Life Inside” will feature interviews with various members of the Duke community and occasional narration by the podcast’s creators. The podcast will provide insights and points of view that may be new to listeners, broadening perspectives on campus issues and opening conversations on usually taboo topics. “So far the interviews we’ve gotten are so great—people open so much to you, and it’s hard to cut down so much great stuff,” said Alexandra Gonzalez, a sophomore and co-founder of “Life Inside.” “It discusses issues we talk about all the time, but [which] we

only talk about with a certain group of people.” By including candid interviews with Duke students, “Life Inside” will be a source of discussion on campus topics generated from actual student opinions. Although the podcast’s target audience is students, Duke faculty will be able to use “Life Inside” to learn more about the students they are teaching, and high school students interested in applying to Duke will be able to access the podcasts to gain an inside view of Duke experiences. “It’ll be really cool for outside of Duke...so they can get a little insight on what people already here are thinking about,” Frasson-Nori said. Launching this month, “Life Inside” will have a new Facebook page and website, where episodes can be accessed. The first installment will be published by the end of January, with later podcasts made each month during the school year. The creators of the podcast hope to have a few live recording events on campus, and eventually extend their episodes to other forms of access, like apps and iTunes. “We record it down in the Link, we edit it in the [Multimedia Project Studio] lab,” Gonzalez said. “It’s very Duke-sourced—we use our campus and the resources that are available to us.”

‘Hackensack Dreaming’ asks viewers to consider the planet Georgina del Vecho The Chronicle An upcoming exhibition in the Duke Power Plant Gallery is more than just something pretty to look at. Amidst the translucent glass and beautiful blues of the installation lies a deeper message— one calling us to examine our polluted ecosphere and the delicacy of our planet. The large-scale installation “Hackensack Dreaming,” created by New Jersey artist Nancy Cohen, will be featured at the gallery starting Jan. 22 until March 5. The installation will serve as an atypical documentary of the Mill Creek Marsh, a part of the Meadowlands located in Secaucus, N.J, using handmade paper, glass and monofilament to create a “constructed reality” in the 1,500-square-foot gallery. “[Cohen’s] work, while not documentary in a traditional application, is rife with referential essence,” said Power Plant Gallery Director Caitlin Margaret Kelly in a press release. “Translucent glass objects hint at a cedar forest, poking up through the water on an icy New Jersey day, and liquid rubber poured on the paper suggests, interchangeably, a wet or toxic surface.” Cohen, who has previously exhibited “Hackensack Dreaming” on other college campuses, noted the relevance of the statement her work makes to some students. “In the big picture, the installation is

Cohen has exhibited her work across “The PPG believes in the the United States, with previous sites transformative power of the arts, and...

‘Hackensack Dreaming’ continues that mission while expanding our repertoire into environmental art, and expanding our relevance to a wider part of the Durham community,” Kelly said. The Power Plant Gallery is part of Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies and is located at the American Tobacco Campus in downtown Durham. Cohen’s installation will be exhibited at the Power Plant Gallery—which is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.—from now until March 5, 2016, with an opening reception and artist’s talk Jan. 22 from 5 to 8 p.m. The gallery is also open to student groups who wish to view the exhibit privately or hold a meeting in the space.

Movie and music combine in ‘Triplets of Belleville’ performance Christy Kuesel The Chronicle

“We’ve had artists use archival film footage as the visual backing for the musical score they would make,” Greenwald said. The music, as well as the animation for “The Triplets of Belleville,” was completed over a three-year period. Since some of the characters were depicted playing instruments, Charest wrote music for these characters before they were animated. He then composed a final score once all of the animation was complete. Charest describes the music of “The Triplets of Belleville” as a mash-up, combining different periods of music to reflect the different time periods depicted in the film. “The music is a mixture of French music, jazz music, a bit of traditional music,” Charest said. “It’s a journey.” Additionally, Le Terrible Orchestra de Belleville will be accompanied by a Foley artist, who makes all of the sound effects seen in the movie live on stage. Charest’s tour will start in Toronto on Feb. 11. The first leg of the tour travels around America and finishing in Taiwan

and Macau. The second part of the tour travels around San Francisco and Naples. Le Terrible Orchestra de Belleville has already performed about 20 shows with the same concept of playing live music along with the movie, traveling around Canada and to Los Angeles. While Charest is focused on the music while he is performing, he enjoys the feedback he has heard from various audience members. “They really enjoyed the combination of being able to watch the movie and see the band perform, because sometimes they get lost in one or the other,” Charest said. Although “The Triplets of Belleville” came out over 10 years ago, its music, animation and themes still resonate with audiences today. “The whole thing is a bit of a mixture of the past and some kind of surreal environment, and the music is a little timeless, in the sense that it captures different periods of music in the 20th century,” Charest said.

Next month, Duke Performances will combine the visual and the musical to produce an experience that audiences of all ages will not be likely to forget. Composer Benoit Charest will lead the nine-piece Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville in a live performance of his score from the critically acclaimed movie “The Triplets of Belleville,” in conjunction with a screening of the movie. The project was put together by the Montreal Jazz Festival for the tenth anniversary of the film. The performance is coming to Reynolds Theater on Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. “We’ve done a lot of projects that combine music and film over the last handful of years, and we’ve found it to be an enjoyable experience—an experience, frankly, that can only be accomplished in a live setting,” said Aaron Greenwald, Duke Performances’ executive director. “The Triplets of Belleville” was released in 2003 and featured very little dialogue, relying on the film’s soundtrack to propel the narrative. In 2004, Charest’s score won the César award for Best Music Written for a Film. “The music has a much more narrative role than in some of the films where there is more dialogue, where you have to withhold a bit, where you have to be subtle and not overdo things,” Charest said, describing the music as another character in and of itself. The movie follows the story of Madame Souza and her grandson Champion. While competing in the Tour de France, Champion is kidnapped by henchmen. Souza and her dog Bruno, along with the help of the renowned jazz singing group the Belleville triplets, go on an adventure to get Champion back. “The soundtrack of the film was so inventive and evocative that it clearly evokes the 1920s and ‘30s and jazz, which are integral in advancing the narrative of the film,” Greenwald said. While Duke Performances has put on shows in the past that combine visuals and music, it has never put on a show where the soundtrack of the film is played in tandem to the actual movie. Benoit Charest will conduct the live performance Feb 25 at 8 p.m. in Reynolds Theater.

SYMPOSIUM from page 3 archaeological remains. “Big data—archaeological data, or the history of the art market, or the commodification of raw materials of works of art—can really change the way we understand the production and dispersion of artworks,” Bruzelius and Taormina added. “Digital tools now allow us to gather, collate and interrogate this information in different, and more efficient, ways.” The significance of museums in these digital humanities developments is significant, as museum works constantly interact with an audience. Digital interactive displays, for example, allow all people rather than just experts to be engaged and knowledgeable about the subjects. “With digital interactive displays we can explain the origins or context of a work of art in terrifically exciting ways that reach out to the public to greatly

enhance their experience,” Bruzelius and Taormina said. The Nasher Museum of Art’s “The Lives of Things” project, for example, engages visitors with the idea that ancient and medieval art was always brightly painted. The project consists of recreating the coloring of four Brummer Apostles statues with computer-aided design software to help viewers better undewrstand the original context for these apostle reliefs. Ultimately, digital technology maintains a significant stake in how people experience the physical world and art. The research projects spearheaded by faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students and the projects on which symposium speakers will present serve as specific answers to the myriad of opportunities that the digital humanities open. “Digital tools represent a miraculous development for telling the stories of art, architecture and cities,” Bruzelius and Taormina wrote.
