Screening: Le fond de l'air est rouge (The Grin Without a Cat), 1977: Night School Public Seminar 5: The Politics of Spectacle
Directed by Chris Marker. Running time: 180 min
Thursday, May 29 | 7:00 PM* | Free
A Grin Without a Cat is Chris Marker's epic film essay on the worldwide political wars of the 1960s and 70s: Vietnam, Bolivia, May '68, Prague, Chile, and the fate of the New Left. From 1967 - the year Marker argues was the key turning point - the film is a sweeping, global contemplation of a defining ten years' political history.
Screening: The Case of the Grinning Cat, 2004 followed by moderated discussion with Jake Perlin: Night School Public Seminar 5: The Politics of Spectacle
Directed by Chris Marker. Running time: 58 mins
Friday, May 30 | 7:30 PM | Free with Museum admission
In his most recent film, Chris Marker reflects on French and international politics, art, and culture at the start of the new millennium. This engaging record of Marker's cinematic peregrinations throughout the city chronicles strikes, memorials, election campaigns, celebrity scandals, international political incidents, and a seemingly endless variety of political protests. The commentary running throughout The Case of the Grinning Cat offers the learned and witty reflections of the filmmaker, now in his early eighties, on the contemporary and historical implications of these varied events and personalities.
The screening will be followed by a moderated discussion with Jake Perlin, Assistant Film Curator/BAMCinematek and founder of The Film Desk.

Berkeley Big Bang 2008
Berkeley Big Bang 2008 is a three-day symposium and festival of new media and art hosted by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Berkeley Center for New Media. Leonardo/ISAST will host a full day of panels and events on Tuesday, June 3rd, including an exhibition of student artwork, organized by Piero Scaruffi.
"Remix: From Science to Art and Back in the Digital Age"
co-hosted by Leonardo/ISAST and the Berkeley Art Museum
Schedule of events:
Introduction by Steve Wilson, Leonardo board member since 1983, celebrating forty years of Leonardo: The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology.
"Osmosis": What Can the Arts Do for the Sciences?
Art-Science interaction is a two-way process. The impact of science and technology on the arts is much discussed and well-documented. This panel seeks to examine the influence of the arts on the sciences, and the benefits that science can derive from the arts.
"Osmosis" Panelists:
- Bronac Ferran, Writer, Researcher, Instructor at Royal College of Art in London, Past director of the Interdisciplinary Arts at Arts Council England
- Melinda Rackham, Executive Director of the Australian Network for Art and Technology
- Jim Crutchfield, Complexity and Chaos Researcher, Professor of Physics at UC Davis, Co-founder and Scientific Director Art and Science laboratory
- Chris Chafe, Composer, Duca Family Professor at Stanford University, Director Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics
Brilliant Noise: How Data Becomes Experience for Artists and for Scientists
Most information about the world we live in is now mediated by instruments. This data is often visualized and sonified, both to aid analysis and to communicate with other researchers, but artists, too, can make this data meaningful and "sensual." The same data sets can lead to very different kinds of work. One person's noise is another person's sound.
Brilliant Noise Panelists:
- Camille Utterback, Interactive Video Artist, Inventor, and Founder of Creative Nerve
- Michael Joaquin Grey, New Media Artist and Inventor
- Laura Peticolas, Geophysical Researcher at Space Sciences Lab, UC Berkeley
- Douglas Kahn, Auditory and Sound Culture Historian, Director of Technocultural Studies, UC Davis
Free-form meeting of interested audience members with Leonardo ISAST board members during the lunch break.
The New Sensuality: Epistemologies of the Very, Very Small
Human cognition is bounded by the inadequacy of human senses to allow us sensory contact with the world on scales larger or smaller than ourselves. To perceive the nano world one needs extended senses or new senses. The nano world requires a new ontology and a new epistemology.
The New Sensuality Panelists:
- Ruth West, New Media artist, Director Visual Analytics and Interactive Technologies National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research Center, University of California, San Diego
- Wayne Lanier, Microbiologist, San Francisco Exploratorium
- Jennifer Frazier, Project Director of the Visualization Laboratory, San Francisco Exploratorium
Closing event of the two-day conference for the audience to mingle with the speakers of the various panels and with Leonardo board members. Winners of the first Leonardo Art/Science Student Contest will also be presented.

Robert Cahen video art exhibition影片和錄像展覽
Cahen對世界、幻想和事實有其獨特的觀點，並善於以抽象的隱喻和不可思議的幻想曲表達時間、地方、記憶和意識的流徙。
他的實驗作品的理念在於轉移：固定影像轉移到移動影像、地方和時間不斷轉移、攝錄現實的變換以至聲音與影像的探索。他的手法是透過時間和空間的變化，表現出有形和無形、敍事和詩趣、遠和近這些互相對立，又各有不同，同時造就美好和混亂的世界之間時刻在變的對話。
《時間觀》展覽將Cahen一些主要的作品配合展示裝置展出，誠邀觀眾深入幻想的領域。 1971年，Cahen獲法國國家高等音樂學院頒發學士文憑後，跟隨Pierre Shaeffer學習作曲，並加入法國國家廣播電視局的音樂研究部。其後負責法國國家視聽藝術學院的視聽研究工作至1976年為止。
自1997年起，Cahen的影片和錄像已在多個國家的當代藝術展覽的展出；他亦是現今獲獎最多的錄像藝術家之一。
