Darryl Jensen: the Graphic Techniques Mastered by Rembrandt ...
Where: Villa Terrace Decorative Arts
Date: 2007-11-04 13:00:00
Type:
As graphic artists, Rembrandt and Whistler use their prints as a way to reveal light and the emotional states of their subjects. They are historically regarded as major innovators in the processes of etching and aquatint. From line etch to dry point and spit-bite to aquatint techniques, Jensen will point out the differences between them and why Rembrandt and Whistler are still so highly revered as artist/printmakers.

Almost as long as there has been cloth to sew on, industrious women have embroidered designs. The 17th century became a golden age of samplers, and a profusion of designs inspired by the exotic fruits and trade goods brought from the Orient, as well as the newly published and lavishly illustrated natural history books. Such pictorial samplers were especially popular in England and the Americas. By the 18th century needlework became the principle medium for educating girls. It could easily be combined with religious instruction, literature and geography. The recent resurgence of interest in needlework merely serves to confirm the value of the sampler as a means of self-expression.

Twiztid Toxic Terror Tour

The Toxic Terror Tour Featuring Twiztid from Psychopathic Records. Protégés of the Insane Clown Posse, the Detroit-area rap duo Twiztid based their act on a similarly theatrical, outrageous, makeup-heavy image and an obsession with serial-killer horror films. Jamie Madrox and the Monoxide Child cast themselves as psychotic axe murderers on their 1998 debut album, Mostasteless, which was reissued with new artwork and extra tracks a year later in the wake of ICP's rise to national notoriety. Twiztid's second album, Freek Show, was released on Halloween 2000 in conjunction with ICP's Bizzar/Bizaar sets; Mirror Mirror followed two years later. The Green Book hit the shelves in 2003 with Man's Myth, Vol. 1 landing in 2005. The duo toured extensively throughout the States in the early 2000s, developing a small cult following throughout the Midwest in particular.

Web414 September 2007 Meeting
Where: The Brady Corp. Conference Room
Date: 2007-09-11 20:00:00
Type:
Note that we will be meeting at MSOE from 8PM to 10PM for the regular meeting, but will also be meeting at 7PM at a local eatery to be determined. For September we'd like to do something a little different. With all the new members, we thought it would be good to go around the room and have everyone show something they've recently worked on, or are currently working on. It could be your own site, work you are doing for someone else, or maybe just something you find inspiring. There is also a good chance we will talk about the planning for BarCampMilwaukee2.

Mute Math
Where: Rave/Eagles Ballroom
Date: 2007-10-08 19:00:00
Type:
The Mute Math dynamic can be viewed in parts. At its core, an inspired electro-alt rock band with a soaring sound that incorporates emotive vocals, hip hop styled beats, dubby soundscapes fueled by sample-like guitars and Rhodes piano flourishes, keytars, a homemade instrument (a Theremin- inspired guitar) and other random gadgets. The other is a finely tuned live act, with a highly infectious and equally energetic show, that's accented by the occasional acrobatics, experimental jams, knob twiddling and bouts of instrumental switcheroo that emboldens the player's chops. That's good, because music fans are always looking for something new to excite and intrigue them, and that is executed well. Mute Math definitely deserves a look- they nail it on record, and they kill it live. These are the elements that help Mute Math click with the fans of old and new, on a daily basis. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (SSLYBY) is an American indie-pop band from Springfield, Missouri. The Cinematics are a Scottish band currently based in Glasgow.

Thinking Critically: Alternative Perspectives and Methods in Information Studies May 15-17, 2008, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Sponsored by the Center for Information Policy Research, the School of Information Studies, and the UW-Milwaukee Libraries, UW-Milwaukee This conference will explore critical theories as grounded in and by alternative methodological perspectives and issues in intercultural information studies. Information studies as a field has become more disciplinarily, culturally, and methodologically diverse. This conference is intended to help advance the extension of traditional inquiry in this field into the important exploration of, and linkages to, such theoretical perspectives and approaches as feminism, disability studies, post-structuralism, queer studies, post-colonialism, post-modernism, semiotics, critical race theory, hermeneutics, and others, as we face technological, legal, cultural, and global transformations. This conference seeks to bring together scholars from multiple disciplines, who engage in the discussion of “information” and “information studies” from alternative and critical perspectives, with a goal to promote social awareness, provide insight into inequities, and lead to progressive change in our information research and practices. We will present work from leading scholars in information ethics and critical information studies followed by break out sessions based on open space methodology. In open space methodology, participants generate topics of interest based on keynote addresses and their own expertise. A part of the conference program is devoted to in-depth group discussions of those topics logically organized to contribute to the overall theme. Outcomes of those group discussions will be presented to the plenary and eventually form part of the conference recommendations on how to promote critical theory engagement and further research in LIS.
Stars
Where: Pabst Theater
Date: 2008-04-18 20:00:00
Type:
Stars' music has been described as "beautiful, eloquent indie pop,' characterized by lush instrumentation, nimble production and mixing, narrative lyrics, and soft but nuanced vocals. The band's style has evolved from an electronic-pop sound as heard on 'Nightsongs' to more rock-based instrumentation on their last two full-length albums.
