SUMMARY:Hollis Hammonds\, 'The River Entered My Home By Hammonds + West'
DESCRIPTION:“The River Entered My Home by Hammonds + West” will be on display Jan. 16 through April 19 at Art League Houston. Photo courtesy of Hollis Hammonds.On display Jan. 16 through April 19 at Art League Houston\, 1953 Montrose Boulevard in Houston. Artist talk Jan. 17 at 2 p.m.  This multimedia exhibition about climate grief and the environmental crisis was created by Hollis Hammonds\, associate professor in the Visualization program; and Austin-based poet Sasha West. The artists combine image and text into multimedia installations and exhibitions\, combining sound with sculptural installation\, video with drawings and words with images. Hammonds’ drawings reflect the melancholy and darkness manifested in West’s poems\, asking viewers to reexamine the impact of elements when those elements are fed by human actions. West’s poems connect to the landscapes of ruin in Hammonds’ drawing\, questioning our culture’s belief in limitless growth. They invite viewers to see their own daily part in making the physical world and the future of landscapes.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Pugh\, 'Highways to Houston'
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Pugh\, instructional assistant professor in the Visualization program and director of Wright Gallery\, presents this solo exhibition of abstract paintings inspired by driving between Houston and College Station. Pugh abstracts cattle and horses as shapes of brown\, black and white\, and grass and wildflowers as bright colors. She uses angular shapes inspired by spaces in between fence posts\, railings and barbed wire\, and often mounts shapes of paper containing graphite mark making to suggest wind in grass\, speed or direction of traffic.

SUMMARY:‘Hillerbrand+Magsamen\, Assembly Required’
DESCRIPTION:March 18-May 8 at Wright Gallery\, Langford Architecture Center Building A. Artist talk and reception April 7 at 2 p.m. This exhibition by Hillerbrand+Magsamen\, a husband-wife team based in Houston\, brings together sculptural\, photographic and time-based works that explore the relationship between the domestic sphere and systems of thought\, belief and care. Everyday materials are reconfigured into forms that suggest both ritual and experiment\, reflecting on how the ordinary can become a site of transformation. Through processes of repetition\, accumulation\, and play\, the works consider how we organize chaos\, measure time\, and give shape to memory. Gallery hours: Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SUMMARY:VCIM Seminar Series: Vision\, Language and Action with Ishaan Singh Rawal
DESCRIPTION:Ishaan Singh Rawal is a master’s student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. He spent two years at A*STAR Singapore\, focusing on multimodal and interpretable deep learning research. His overarching research goal is to understand the inner workings of current multimodal architectures and use these insights to improve their performance and develop novel applications.  He is applying this focus to interactive video generation with the Visual and Spatial AI Lab\, and to autonomous driving alongside applied intuition. His research has been published at premier AI venues\, including ICML\, CVPR\, and ACL. As autonomous driving systems evolve\, the shift from standard vision-language models to vision-language-action (VLA) architectures marks a critical milestone by integrating “action” as a core modality. However\, despite their potential\, current VLA models are heavily bottlenecked by their reliance on massive dataset collection and expensive\, dense reasoning annotations. This talk explores this multimodal evolution and presents NoRD\, a novel\, data-efficient VLA model that achieves competitive end-to-end driving performance without relying on reasoning overhead.
