SUMMARY:Creative Interventions: "Asymptote" with Nora Khan
DESCRIPTION:Nora Khan explores our personal relationships with computational systems through moments spanning from childhood gaming experiences to contemporary AI. The central metaphor of the “asymptote”—a curve endlessly approaching but never reaching a line—describes both humanity’s pursuit of technological mastery\, and the incomputable aspects of experience that resist capture by algorithms and surveillance. Through encounters with drones\, machine learning systems\, and glitched game worlds\, this talk argues for maintaining space for the mystical\, ineffable\, and offscreen in an era of relentless quantification and prediction. The talk ultimately calls for preserving doubt\, acknowledging what cannot be computed\, and remembering the personal “why” that precedes professional identity in navigating our algorithmic present. \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– Learn more about the Creative Intervention Series here.\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:Sesnon Salon: History of Art & Visual Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Division welcome students\, faculty\, staff\, and the general community to a salon-style gathering presenting the work of UC Santa Cruz’s History of Art and Visual Culture (HAVC) Department. \nAssistant Professor Clementine Bordeaux\, an enrolled member of the Sičáŋǧu Lakóta Nation (Rosebud Sioux Tribe)\, grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation (South Dakota). Bordeaux received her Ph.D. in Culture and Performance from the World Arts and Cultures/Dance Department at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She works across multi- and interdisciplinary fields and collaborates with artists\, cultural bearers\, and community activists\, and employs Lakota concepts of ikčé\, the everyday\, and ingenuity\, to illustrate a continuum of Očéti Šakówiŋ artistic engagements. \nThis presentation offers a brief overview of her research\, which methodologically and theoretically utilizes relationality as the primary tool to communicate the interrelatedness of Lakota kinship values\, a cultural connection to other-than-human beings\, and creative practice\, as demonstrated through storytelling\, poetry\, and material culture. \nThe event will take place outdoors by the Porter Koi Pond. Light refreshments will be served. \n—\nADMISSION\nFree and open to the public.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nOct 16: History of Art and Visual Culture Department\nNov 20: Music Department \nJan 15: Art Department\nFeb 19: Film and Digital Media Department \nApril 16: Creative Technologies\nMay 21: Department of Performance\, Play & Design \n—\nPARKING\nLot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event.\nParking via permit or ParkMobile.\nSee TAPS for parking information. \n— \nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law.
