Hi there. I studied in France. Am still pretty fluent. I'd love to start a weekly conversation class at a (different each time) wine bar downtown on Sunday nights. The level would be advanced/native and we can talk about current events, life, and go freestyle or structure. It would be best to pick a topic and share a few articles each week and discuss them over a glass or two of wine. Perhaps we can eventually move into a book club of sorts.

 

For now, anyone with solid French who want to keep or improve their level, and francophone expats can convene over un verre.

 

Hope we can get this off the ground. If you are a native speaker, email me and we'll figure it out from there!

 

Merci,

Maryam

Introduction

Do you have a child between the ages of 12 and 16 years old who loves playing video games and wants to learn to make their own? (Or are you between 12 and 16?!) The Unity Game Design Workshop for Teens is an intensive four-week summer class in which a small group of like-minded teens will collaborate to create a game of their own while learning the basic principles of programming and game design. The class will be taught using Unity - a powerful, free, popular, accessible, cross-platform development engine for the creation of interactive 3D content. The class will be taught by Perry Hoberman, an award-winning artist and professor in the Interactive Media Division at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Coding and technical skills will be covered, but an equal emphasis will be placed on creativity, art, ideas and fun.

The Public School was invited by MOCA to organize the second Engagement Party Art Talk, which will take the format of two presentations. James Merle Thomas will present Tektite Revisited—his research into NASA’s short-lived program—covering aquanauts, anechoic chambers, and the problems of modern living. Benjamin Bratton will speak about the “cloud” and planetary scale computation, with its effects on territory, law, and place. These talks are brought together to explore topics like isolation, monitoring and habitability against a backdrop of dissolving social institutions, familial structures, employment, etc. A discussion moderated by Sean Dockray of The Public School will follow.

 

James Merle Thomas is a current Guggenheim Fellow at the National Air and Space Museum and Benjamin Bratton is the Director of UC San Diego’s Center for Design and Geopolitics.

A talk exploring Guattari's Infra-quark Universe (UIQ) and its relation to science fiction cinema of the early 80s and the gradual dispersal of radical political agendas following the Autonomist uprisings of 1977. 

--

Filmmakers Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thomson are returning to Los Angeles in May - when they were last here two years ago, they screened their 2009 film, Facs of Life, at The Public School (http://la.thepublicschool.org/note/2120).

This time, they'll be talking about their new project, which considers the evolution of the UIQ script amid a general resurgence of interest in science fiction in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

This class will be happening on Saturday, May 5th - I am posting this as a class "proposal" so that we can post some texts and have the email list and all of that!
