Aram Han Sifuentes, Fall 2022, Art, Technology, & Society Lecture Series
Aram Han Sifuentes is a fiber and social practice artist who works to claim spaces for immigrant and disenfranchised communities. Her work often revolves around skill sharing, specifically sewing techniques, to create multiethnic and intergenerational sewing circles, which become a place for empowerment, subversion, and protest. This lecture is in association with her exhibition Let Us Vote! in the Bush Art Center Galleries
Designing an Experimental Apparatus for Rotational Mixing in Stokes Flow
We report on the design, construction, and operation of a rotational mixing apparatus that magnetically rotates a thin metal rod interacting with tracers suspended in a high-viscosity fluid. The purpose of this apparatus is to achieve Stokes flow, defined as having a Reynolds number below 0.001, where viscous forces dominate over inertial forces in a fluid system. The apparatus, designed using 3D modeling software and constructed using additive manufacturing techniques, holds a rod at a fixed angle with a magnetic field and rotates the rod conically about a fixed point. Tracer trajectories within the fluid were tracked using a custom implementation of the Open-CV python library that analyzed video of the fluid mixing captured by a document camera. It is intended that this apparatus will be used in future research to investigate rotational mixing of viscous fluids, with applications to clinical research in medical science.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1093/thumbnail.jp
Genetic Analysis of Protonephridia
Polycystic Kidney Disease is one of the most common inherited genetic conditions and is often caused by dysfunction of cellular appendages called cilia. My project aims to better understand the requirement for cilia in the excretory system using planarians as a model system. Based on past experiments, we hypothesize that cilia may be important in regulating downstream pathways such as the Hippo signaling pathway. I have performed gene knockdown experiments as well as imaging techniques, such as Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization and TUNEL. These were used to test the genetic interactions between Hippo signaling components and genes required for cilia function.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1076/thumbnail.jp
Oliver Ressler, Fall 2022, Art & Democracy course
As a part of the St. Norbert College Art & Democracy series of exhibitions and events, Oliver Ressler delivered a Zoom lecture on November 15, 2022. Oliver Ressler is an artist who lives and works in Vienna, Austria. He produces theme-specific exhibitions, projects in the public space, and videos on issues such as democracy, capitalism, and social alternatives to our existing political realities. His work blurs the boundaries between art and activism. This lecture series was supported by the Norman Miller Center for Peace, Justice, and Public Understanding
Paolo Cirio, Spring 2022, Art, Technology, & Society Lecture Series
As a part of the St. Norbert College Art & Society lecture series, Paolo Cirio delivered a Zoom lecture on March 10, 2022. Paolo Cirio is an Italian conceptual artist, hacktivist, and cultural critic living in New York. Cirio’s work embodies hacker ethics, such as open access, privacy policies, and critiquing economic, legal, and political models. He shows his research and intervention-based works through artifacts, photos, installations, videos, and public art. He exhibits internationally and has won several prestigious awards, grants, commissions, and fellowships. This lecture series was supported by the Faculty Mini-Grant Program through the Norman Miller Center for Peace, Justice, and Public Understanding
