"Outer Spaces: Unconventional Screenings"
with Visiting Artist Liz Keim, Director of the Exploratorium’s Cinema Arts Program
 
Both artists and scientists use film as a tool for inquiry and expression, and the Exploratorium collects and exhibits works capturing the methods and aesthetics of each. The primary interest of the Cinema Arts Program centers on films that reveal a blend of observation, poetry, and surrealism; just as the focus of our exhibits and programs lies at the intersection of art and science, we are particularly interested in documentaries that defy category and exist in the realm between art and science, fiction and document.
This talk investigates the outcome of the Exploratorium’s Cinema Arts Program as it seeks to generate the contemplative cinematic space between these realms, both physically and emotionally, within its dynamic inter-active environs.
A selection of short films from the Exploratorium’s Film Collection will be screened during this talk.
 
The Film & Digital Media Visiting Artist Series is sponsored by Porter College.
This event is free and open to the public.

This presentation is made possible in part by gifts to the Arts Division at UCSC.
