panorama-kan lecture/demo in LA

[Anne McKnight]

It doesn't really move, but promises to be interesting.

The Velaslavasay Panorama is a kind of LA institution. Its owner  
commissions a painted panorama every once in a while, in a domed  
building in West Adams. The last one was Arctic-themed. There was a  
show on arctic spectacles, tours & panoramas, after which "whale  
blubber," of a leathery Jello-shot sort, was served, to the  
accompaniment of fiddle music (as I recall). This one deals with the  
panorama-kan in Ueno and elsewhere.

Dr. Machiko Kusahara

$BAp86??CN;R(B

Since the 1980's, Dr. Kusahara has both curated and published  
internationally,  exploring the connections between art, science,  
technology, culture, and history. Her research themes include  
interaction between media technology and Japanese culture such as  
utsushi-e (Japanese traditional magic lantern shows), and Device Art,  
a project she pursues with artists and engineers using the latest  
digital technology.  Currently teaching at Waseda University in Tokyo,  
she received her Ph.D in engineering from University of Tokyo for her  
theoretical research in the field of Media Art.
Ms. Kusahara's presentation will be followed by a reception in the  
garden.
