SUMMARY:Ancestral Algorithms: Indigenous Virtual Realities & the Ethics of AI
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how Indigenous analytic and ancestral technologies\, rooted in technē as craft\, knowledge\, and skilled practice\, inform contemporary digital forms such as Virtual Reality and AI. It traces how ancestral memory is transferred\, adapted\, and sustained across generations through decolonial and anti-colonial frameworks\, while critically engaging both the generative possibilities and the structural pitfalls of digital technologies as they shape relational\, technological futures. \nThis event is presented as part of the Creative Interventions (CI) series and is co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Creative Technologies program and Porter College at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UCSC affiliates.\n– This is an online event.\n– Registration is required here.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Event dates to be announced throughout the 2025-26 academic year.\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nCreative Interventions addresses the interconnected work of artists\, designers\, activists\, and knowledge workers—and the intrinsic and transformative capacity of that work to cultivate a just society. More information about the Creative Technologies program.\n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law.

SUMMARY:“So\, There We Were...” – Celebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate another year of profound discoveries\, uplifting unheard voices\, and opening up the world for the next generation of students\, the Academic Senate is planning a year-end celebratory event on Wednesday\, May 27\, 5-7:30 pm (week 9)\, at the Haybarn. But lest you think this is yet one more end-of-year academic event with mind-numbing presentations and hard-to-read powerpoint slides\, think again. This Scholarly Event is an excuse for us to do what we never get to do: come together to share the real stories behind our work and\, most of all\, HAVE FUN! In this spirit we are launching a celebratory event to feature the true but unknown\, the odd\, the awkward\, and just plain unbelievable stories behind our research: \n“So\, There We Were…”\nCelebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries \n \nThese might be the adventures\, misadventures\, revelations\, miscues\, or simply the “you would never believe it all worked out” moments that we have all experienced but rarely talk about (at least not in public). These are the stories that our friends\, neighbors\, and students want to hear\, but never would make it into scholarly publications or presentations. These are the stories we swap with our colleagues over drinks. While this event is intended primarily for faculty\, the campus community and community members will be welcome to attend (in other words\, feel free to bring your kids\, your partner\, your neighbors). \n \nWe are therefore soliciting applications (or nominations if you know someone—including yourself—who really needs to share that story) to regale your colleagues with details about “that time that…(fill in the blank)\,” while showing how those hidden moments shaped what finally came out of that research. This is meant to be a lighthearted and fun event\, so while having the audience learn something about what you do and why it is SO COOL is very good\, our focus will remain on humor\, fun\, and engaging tales. As the Ig Nobel Awards put it: “First make them laugh…then make them think!” \n \nPresenters will give a ~10 min TED style talk. Talks must begin with the phrase “So\, there we were” (or “So\, there I was” ) and they should feature the adventurous\, the bizarre\, and ideally the humorous in your research. Absolutely no tedious PowerPoints\, jargon\, or literature background review will be allowed.  \n \nA reception will follow. Or it may precede\, or even take place during\, the event. But rest assured\, we will be celebrating in style. \n \nNB: There may well be prizes. But we have not gotten quite that far yet.
