\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Tim Collins, Glasgow.\u00a0<\/strong>I will talk about Deep Mapping: Lough Boora Sculpture Park <\/em><\/span>a recently published deep mapping project that considers a ‘cutaway’ bog in Offaly County Ireland which was strip mined for its peat fuel over a period of fifty years. In 2000 with efforts to reclaim the land for agriculture it was turned into amenity public space that featured a sculpture park. I will talk about the historic conditions and future options revealed in our publication. https:\/\/collinsandgoto.com\/deep-mapping-lough-boora-sculpture-park\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Robin Lasser,\u00a0Oakland<\/strong>. I will be sharing two projects:\u00a0Dress Tents : Nomadic Wearable Architecture<\/a> and Migratory Cultures<\/a>. \u00a0The DressTent <\/i>project is a conflation of photography, fashion, performance and installation dealing with the geo politics of place, social, and environmental justice issues. \u00a0Migratory Cultures<\/span>\u00a0is a site-specific video projection mapping and documentary video project connecting regional experiences of immigration with stories from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Wendy Wischer, Salt Lake City.<\/strong> I am going to talk about 3 projects that encompass different aspects of my work. One is \u201cDisplacing Vibrations\u201d a collaboration with a geologist, this is about my scientific collaborations. Then I\u2019ll discuss \u201cWritten on the Wind\u201d a video\/sound installation for the Natural History Museum of Utah that included a community component with 4th<\/sup> graders. And then \u201cYour Memory is Already Fading\u201d an installation and sound piece representing my object making and turning data into personal meaning.<\/p>\r\n
