Hi Folks, Not able to attend the ACRL conference in Pittsburgh this year? The Arts Section invites you to attend a reprise presentation of the only art-focused session No Thoughts, Just Vibes?: Interrogating Algorithms through Visual Art and Information Literacy. The impact of AI on both art and education is a hot topic, and this session thoughtfully addresses the issue and provides inspiration for art librarians figuring out how to engage with this evolving technology. Register to receive a zoom link to join the session <https://forms.gle/USa9YNBxU6kakW648> on Wednesday, March 29 at 11am EST: Panelists: - Stephanie Grimm | Art and Art History Librarian, George Mason University - Maggie Murphy | Art & Design Librarian, UNC Greensboro - Mackenzie Salisbury | Information Literacy Librarian, School of the Art Institute of Chicago - Mimosa Shah | Associate Curator, Schlesinger Library, Harvard Radcliffe Institute Session Description: - “Building on the work of contemporary artists who use creative practice to surface and disrupt the influence of algorithms in society, we seek to introduce friction into students' algorithmic experience, highlighting where algorithms intersect with bias, visibility, privacy, serendipity, inspiration, and authorship in our information literacy pedagogy. In this moderated panel, we will discuss some key questions, including: How can students engage creatively with algorithmic environments while maintaining a critical focus? In what ways does art allow us to reframe and rethink our use of technology?” -- *Carla-Mae Crookendale, **she/her* <https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/> Arts Research Librarian Assistant Professor VCU Libraries Virginia Commonwealth University James Branch Cabell Library 901 Park Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23284-2033 804 827-0367 [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
