Thesis Exhibit, the last one, LUCAD in Cambridge MA

[jnantz]

As the title reads, the final thesis exhibit is up at Lesley College of Art and Design Under Arts Center 1801 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge. It's at Porter Square right next to the old Sears Building (Porter Exchange ), and runs April 11-21. This is the final MFA Photography and Integrated Media Thesis Exhibit, and the end of an era. If you aren't familiar with LUCAD, it the MFA Photography program that Christopher James directed ( 2011-2024 ). It is well worth the visit, I went to the opening and it was great.

I went to it; nothing about it had anything to do with AI, the exhibit, the candidates, the guests, the photographs presented, nothing.

I haven't seen this ~~~~\o/~~~~~/\~~~~~ before. What is that? /\ could be the cosmological constant ? but not sure what the rest is.

Michael,

It seems like you're in over your head; like the drowning man in the graphic :) Maybe it's Hubble?

Doremus thanks - I see it now. I will count this as one of my blunders :)

it's a shark attack !
AI is the SHARK ..
problem is people are too emo about the whole AI tech thing
deadman's float and playing possum works every time ...

I don’t know… that doesn’t look like a very convincing shark, although maybe it’s one of those things AI isn’t good at like fingers. I kind of prefer my version though where it’s a drowning guy being chased by lambda/dark energy.
