Just a few short updates to ring in 2024!
Our residency program continues! We’re on a mini break for January, but we’ll have a new resident in February. December we saw a visit from Lee Wilkins and some great work from them on Slow-Scan Television, including a zine that will be available in a limited run on-site at the lab if you’d like a copy. And, sadly, we said goodbye to Emily Francisco’s TransHarmonium at the end of the year - what a delight to host it while we could. It got a write-up in Hackaday during its stay, and totally enchanted most everyone who got a chance to play it.
We haven’t finalized our schedule for the spring semester yet, but we will update it here & elsewhere as hours get added. And, we have weekend hours again!!
Currently we are open:
Tuesday - 1:30 to 4:30 PM
Friday - 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Saturday - 12:00 to 3:00 PM
Finally, the submission deadline to the next issue of ephemerMAL has been extended to January 15. The prompt was set and the issue will be curated by November resident Sid Drmay - prompt as follows!
This issue is asking you a question:
What is Utopia?
Whether you approach this through text, image, collage, etc you can consider some of the following questions to guide you:
What colour is it?
What does it smell like?
Who do you see?
What do you feel?
How are decisions made?
What do you do?
Works can be as abstract or specific as makes sense when you imagine your utopia. This time around, please limit your submissions to fitting on a half-sheet of letter-size paper (8.5" x 5.5"). Submissions for this issue can be sent to mediaarchaeology+zine@colorado.edu.
cheers, happy new year, and certainly we’ll have more to share soon!
