The three COSA Connectors will come together in a Livestream to talk about creative open-source software tools. They will discuss the series so far, talk about tools they would like to see created, and how they use the tools for their personal work. We will take questions from the viewers via the live-chat, including questions about using other tools and suggestions for future episodes.

Electronic Theatre @ Deep Space 8K

Since 1987, the Electronic Theatre has compiled a large number of submissions from all over the world, providing an up-to-the-minute survey of animation art in the context of technology and society. It impressively illustrates the dynamic development of artistic computer animation over the past three decades as well as the expansive growth of various fringe areas. A glance at the works selected this year shows a broad range, from animation in the context of performance and installations to real-time animation and multifaceted, subject-based discussions.

The Crying Book with Heather Christle and Performance by Gary Motley

Heather Christle, Gary Motley

The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy. Why do we cry? How do we cry? Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it. She researches tear-collecting devices and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Motley performs Someday Sunday as Christle reads from her first book of nonfiction, The Crying Book.
