See the results of an exchange between students in Expanded Painting and Nonfiction Poetics (Cinema). Students in both classes made works—painting and short film—based on found image and texts. They then exchanged these artworks and responded with a new piece. This presentation will feature short film, paintings, and painterly installations using light and mixed media. Celebrate the students’ risk-taking and cross-disciplinary collaboration!

Dennis Yi Tenen, associate professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, will join the speaker series Critical Perspectives on AI, Data, and Narrative with a talk on the methodological and ethical challenges of studying digital communities that operate in ambiguous legal and moral terrains. The talk takes up the problem of doing ethnography online—what it means to study digital communities that thrive in the gray zones of legality or morality. Drawing on the sociology of culture, media theory, and platform studies, Tenen focuses on Library Genesis, one of the internet’s largest “pirate” libraries. The case raises difficult questions about how to write about underground infrastructures without exposing them, and how to care for both the researcher and the researched community in spaces built to resist visibility.
