T'would be nice, for those of us who are not a hop skip and a jump from
New York, if there were a webcast of these. Such an easy thing to do these
days.

and Sciences and directs the Computing Culture Group at the MIT Media Lab,
a group that creates unique media technologies for cultural applications.
For the past 10 years, he has lectured and shown new media work in both
Europe and North America. Interested in cultural narratives,
Csikszentmihalyi's work typically creates a new technology to embody a
particular social agenda. For instance, his most recent piece, "Afghan
Explorer," is a tele-operated robot reporter. His "Natural Language
Processor," was commissioned by the KIASMA Museum in Helsinki, Finland.

> ABOUT THE ART & TECHNOLOGY LECTURE SERIES:
>
> Artists have always experimented with emerging technologies, but in
recent decades, as personal computers and the Internet have gained
increasing importance in our lives, the field of Art & Technology has
emerged as a dynamic and historically significant domain of artistic
practice.
>
> This spring, the Digital Media Center at the School of the Arts and the
Computer Music Center are working together to organize a series of Art &
Technology Lectures. We have invited five leading new media artists and
theorists to Columbia to address key issues related to the intersection of
emerging technologies and contemporary art. Such issues include
cyberculture, telepresence, sampling, algorithmic art and hacktivism. All
events are free and open to the public.
