WISE Public Lecture: The land art generator initiative

WISE logo

WISE invites you to delve into the work of Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry, Founding Co-Directors of the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI). Rather than ask the public to sacrifice the aesthetic of our cities to a monoculture of solar panels and wind turbines, LAGI presents new energy infrastructures that are expressions of local culture and that strive to enhance the beauty of cities and landscapes.

Alumni Lecture: "The Time-Traveling Computer Networking Researcher and Other Short Stories"

Lecture abstract: A computer networking researcher traveling forward in time from 1985 to the present would be shocked by many things – not the least of which is the fact that people are still doing computer  networking research over 30 years later. While some of the terminology would sound familiar, the networks themselves and what we use them for would be totally unrecognizable – yet quite impressive. For those of us who could not afford a time machine, we have observed a more gradual evolution interspersed with the occasional shocking development.
