You are invited to the Critical Media Lab for an Open House on Friday, December 1, from 4pm - 7pm. There will be demonstrations of new CFI-funded equipment such as a laser cutter, 3D printer, brain wave interface controller, and MYO armband developed by local startup Thalmic Labs. Come and join us in imagining how to critically deploy these instruments in a manner suitable to the arts and humanities. CML Lab Technician Matt Frazer will facilitate the demonstrations.
 
Three students from the English Department's XDM MA program -- Julie Funk, Miraya Groot, and Caitlin Woodcock -- will have their final projects on display in the lab, and they will be present to take questions and give demonstrations. 
 
Students from ENGL 760: Things in Philosophy and Literature, co-taught by Kevin McGuirk and Marcel O'Gorman, will also be showcasing their "things."
 
Finally, Professor Matt Borland, a CML collaborator from Systems Design Engineering, will invite us to play some of his experimental digital music instruments.
 
Refreshments will be served.
