Ann McNamara, professor and associate dean for research and creative works, organized the day with the help of Stasha Kraguljac, executive assistant, and James R. Ball III, associate professor and assistant dean for industry and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wide range of topics included data visualization, immersive spectatorship in politics, digital choreography, sound effects in cartoons, AI-assisted 3D modeling and theater improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interim Dean Tim McLaughlin defined the event as a deliberate establishment of what\u2019s going on in the school and noted there is strength in the diversity of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is how we take a moment to pause and recognize what we\u2019re doing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s for us to describe what we are doing individually, to see what we\u2019re doing collectively, and be able, at some point in the future, to say, \u2018Wow, I think I want to go work with this person.\u2019 Or when you\u2019re in conversation with another colleague on campus or off about an idea you can say, \u2018I know someone from my school who does something that you might be interested in.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a new school, we want to come back to this day year by year to see how we\u2019ve grown and changed.

Bergeron and Armstrong spent years developing the nine-section concept, which premiered in November 2020 in Downtown Bryan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted the audience to have an experience beyond just sitting in seats and watching a dance occur in front of them,\u201d Bergeron said. \u201cThere are a lot of interactive pieces including the wearing of a representation of the Holocaust on their clothing, remembering a loved one who has passed and leaving a memory of them along the journey, and closing with an art project symbolizing hope. The audience is actually walking throughout the evening with a tour guide leading the way. They are not told where they\u2019re going. Some of the spaces are small and cramped, and some of the spaces are open. This nomad type of performance is intentional and represents the blind faith and trust people had to have in one another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project incorporated collaborations from Performance Studies and Visualization, along with outside experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe felt that to address this extensive project we really needed a lot of expertise from other artists and historians,\u201d Armstrong said. \u201cWe also have consultants who we addressed content material with and had them come into the rehearsal process to see that we were representing in a very respectful way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The future of the project includes developing an educational app, augmented reality\/virtual reality elements and a film to be used in public education, Armstrong said. It will also be performed at the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival in North Carolina in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" src=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dance-scaled-e1676654842468-300x285.jpeg\" alt=\"Five people pose for a photo\" class=\"wp-image-14949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dance-scaled-e1676654842468-300x285.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dance-scaled-e1676654842468-1024x973.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dance-scaled-e1676654842468-768x730.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dance-scaled-e1676654842468-1536x1459.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dance-scaled-e1676654842468.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carisa Armstrong, Christine Bergeron, Jennie Petuch, Diane Bedford and Ben Howard.

The piece will premiere in March at Contemporary Art Music Project\u2019s international festival CAMPGround23 in Tampa, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy research is in the realm of immersive theatre and dance,\u201d Howard said. \u201cAudience interaction is key to the experience of&nbsp;\u2018Sandbox Dreams.\u2019 We are inviting the audience to explore the space, how it can be altered and how each of us can have an impact on the performative experience of the work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diane Bedford, clinical associate professor and section chair of dance science and performing arts, presented a clip of a performance titled \u201cpowHERful,\u201d and Jennie Petuch, instructional assistant professor, shared examples of her work with digital choreography and augmented reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music-related presentations included professor Jeffrey Morris\u2019 live-coding improvisation titled \u201cTell the B335,\u201d in which he programmed a performance through his phone. Lecturer Cory LaFevers examined how people adapt their bodies to play instruments, and race within the Brazilian music scene in Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ball discussed his research in immersive spectatorship as political action. His work in this area includes his 2020 book, \u201cTheater of State: A Dramaturgy of the United Nations,\u201d and his new edited collection \u201cPerforming Statecraft: The Postdiplomatic Theatre of Sovereigns, Citizens, and States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Susanneh Bieber, assistant professor, and Rayna Dexter, instructional associate professor, explored pneumatics in performance and how inflatable material has evolved, from function (tires) to fashion (<a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2020\/3\/harikrishnan-inflatable-trousers-pants-designer-interview-london-design-college\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harikrishnan\u2019s<\/a> inflatable pants) to transportation (airships) to pop culture (Andy Warhol\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooksmuseum.org\/exhibitions\/andy-warhol-silver-clouds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silver Clouds,\u201d<\/a> Woody Allen\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FKr5LKsn428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hydrovac suit<\/a> in \u201cSleeper\u201d and those silly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PFBR2IUGJ2Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">T-Rex costumes<\/a>). Dexter earned a big round of applause for a quick demonstration inflating connected plastic grocery bags with a hair dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zaps, boinks, gallops and crashes highlighted Patrick Sullivan\u2019s presentation about television sounds in the network era. The lecturer incorporated these sound effects used in Hanna-Barbera cartoons and said that the studio built a library of sound effects that it would use across its television cartoons for more than three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey enlivened the limited animation,\u201d Sullivan said of the effects. \u201cSo when Hanna and Barbera shifted to television, they had to strip away their full animation and go to what people might call jerky or stilted movement. And the sound effects would sort of fill in the movements sonically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual art creations were explored by several faculty members, including senior lecturer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anyatishgallery.com\/artist\/dmitri-koustov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dmitiri Koustov\u2019s<\/a> recent metal, oil on canvas and mixed media works. <a href=\"http:\/\/felicehouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Felice House<\/a>, associate professor and section chair for art and design, shared recent landscapes and her \u201cRe-Western\u201d series that recast contemporary women in male hero roles in Western films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laboratories tied to the Visualization program were highlighted, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tamulivelab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Interactive Visualization Experience (LIVE) Lab<\/a>, directed by Andr\u00e9 Thomas, associate professor of practice.

The exhibit is centered around a 1786 law in Louisiana that forced free women of color to wear headwraps to cover their hair. These women in turn created elaborate and creative headwraps with feathers and jewels as a rebellious response to the edict. The exhibit features headwraps, essays and photography that reference 18<sup>th<\/sup> century paintings and drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presentation included a detailed look at the competition among the superpowers \u2014&nbsp;Great Britain, France and Spain \u2014 for land in North America, and how French and Spanish influences developed in the area prior to the Louisiana Purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs an artist, I\u2019m interested in fashion and narratives related to historical events,\u201d Antoinette said. \u201cAnd when it comes to making art, it tends to be a bit personal. So my relationship to the headwrap is aesthetics, as well as through the making of art. I see fashion as sculpture. When I began this journey in researching, I was researching narratives surrounding the headwrap after wearing them and having a relationship with them for over a decade. I became interested in knowing the symbolisms attached, various cultures that have a relationship with the headwrap. That led me to the Louisiana territory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Derek-Ham-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands at a podium giving an academic presentation\" class=\"wp-image-14921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Derek-Ham-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Derek-Ham-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Derek-Ham-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Derek-Ham-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Derek-Ham-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Derek Ham presented two virtual reality projects: &#8220;I Am a Man&#8221; and &#8220;Barnstormers: Determined to Win.&#8221; Photo by Glen Vigus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/people\/daham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Derek Ham<\/a>, department head and associate professor of media arts, design and technology at North Carolina State University, discussed virtual reality and how it can make an impact through community engagement.

As some of my friends say, make you feel like you are breathing the same air. That\u2019s where I think VR can be really transformative. When it really positions you there, and you, for that moment in time, feel as if you\u2019re in these moments happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A comment from philosopher and political activist Cornel West at a conference had a significant impact on Ham. As he recalled it: \u201cIf your research is not impactful for the man on the street, you have no business doing research. Make it count!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ham noted that when he took \u201cI Am a Man\u201d to the streets of Memphis for anyone to experience, participants opened up with their own memories or stories about the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVR has this ability to make us reflect and remember,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chris-Salter-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands at a podium giving an academic presentation\" class=\"wp-image-14834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chris-Salter-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chris-Salter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chris-Salter-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chris-Salter-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chris-Salter-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chris Salter discussed the future of extended reality.

Salter served as artistic director for the project, which features two characters fleeing a climate crisis. The clip showed an industrial warehouse in Germany, where users in VR headsets experienced this escape. When encountering flying rocks, the audience members run even though they know they\u2019re not there, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt moves between pure theater virtual reality, which is an old technology, and then augmented reality,\u201d Salter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salter said the clips \u201call in some ways involved different understandings of what we call XR, extended realities. Realities that aim to mix, merge and hybridize the virtual and the real.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Metaverse, Salter said, is portrayed as a new utopia. But the mixing of realities isn\u2019t new, he said, referring to a 1965 article by Sutherland: \u201cA display connected to a digital computer gives us a chance to gain familiarity with concepts not realizable in the physical world. It is a looking glass into a mathematical wonderland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fascinating-and-delightful\">&#8216;Fascinating and delightful&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>McNamara wrapped up the day with closing remarks, calling the content \u201cinspiring and motivating and fascinating and delightful,\u201d and encouraging connections and collaborations within the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s a couple of things I think we can do to keep the momentum from today going,\u201d she said. \u201cReach out.
