[CCC] canadian studies liaison and talk

[Hank Liao]

Dear All,

Hope you enjoyed some fine weather (finally!) today and had a chance to 
hit the sea of mud hosting the beer festival last week. I wanted to make 
a special plug for the club academic liaison with the Canadian Studies 
Institute here in Cambridge 
(http://www.canadian-studies.group.cam.ac.uk/). We're looking for 
someone to represent the club on the group's committee, and crucially, 
to inform the CCC about initiatives like travel grants, future talks and 
the upcoming postcolonial studies conference etc. It isn't too much 
work, and its a great chance to get know some academics with Canadian 
connections! Any questions you can ask the chair Michael Bravo (mb124) 
or just email me.

There's also a talk on Tuesday:

*”Associational Narratives and Shuffle Films”*
*The Canadian artist*
*DAVID CLARK*
*will be talking about his work at the*
*Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, Graduate Centre, Raised 
Faculty Building, top floor*
*Tuesday the 30^th of May*
*5pm.*
*All welcome*

David Clark is an artist who works with film, video, and new media. His 
recent work includes /Broken Crowns/ (1992), the CD-ROM's /GaGe/ (1997) 
and /The Bones of Napier/ (1997), the feature film /Maxwell's Demon/ 
(1998), the interactive installation /Chemical Vision/ (2000) and the 
web art project /aisforapple.net/ (2002). He attended the Nova Scotia 
College of Art and Design (BFA 1985), The School of the Art Institute of 
Chicago (MFA 1989) and the Whitney Program (1989-90). He has taught 
visual and media arts at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The 
University of Western
Ontario, and is currently an Associate Professor in Digital Media at the 
Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited in 
galleries, museums, and festivals around the world. At the moment he is 
in UK to research his latest project: /88 Constellations for 
Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left Hand)/. It will examine the 
logic of coincidence and connection to create a non-linear portrait of 
influential philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), and the number 
88, the number of constellations in the sky and keys on a piano. To see 
more of his work visit www.chemicalpictures.net
