Shall Make, Shall Be Panel/Q&A 1

presented by Andy Malone, Cherisse Datu, Golan Levin, Lexa Walsh, Vi Trinh

How do you see your work dif­fer­ent­ly in the con­text of the full group pre­sen­ta­tion? Where has it tak­en you?

arts​.codes (Melissa F. Clarke and Margaret Schedel): V.erses
Amendment X: Separation of Powers and Federalism

presented by Margaret Schedel, Melissa F Clarke

When we were devel­op­ing the con­cept for v.erses, we were par­tic­u­lar­ly struck by the final clause of the Tenth Amendment, which reads ​“are reserved to the States respec­tive­ly, or to the peo­ple.” This unam­bigu­ous­ly reserved all non-delegated pow­er to its orig­i­nal source, the people.

Ryan Kuo: Father Figure
Amendment IX: Additional Fundamental Rights of People

presented by Ryan Kuo

The ques­tion for me is, how do you know your rights? Where does your mind go when it gets a hold of those rights? The Ninth is say­ing there’s a writ­ten space here on this piece of paper, and there’s an unwrit­ten space some­where beyond.

Danielle Isadora Butler: Evolving Standards of Decency
Amendment VIII: Excessive Bails, Fines, or Punishment

presented by Danielle Isadora Butler

Justice is so often envi­sioned by the metaphor of scales and bal­ance. I’m mak­ing a gim­baled mar­ble labyrinth. The gim­bal allows for bal­ance, but it is set by the user. 

Broken Ghost (Arnab Chakravarty, Ian McNeely) + Moaw! (MeeNa Ko): Verbal Gymnastics
Amendment VII: Rights in Civil Cases

presented by Arnab Chakravarty, Ian McNeely, MeeNa Ko

We basi­cal­ly kind of dou­bled down on this idea that the game had to have the per­for­mance of the truth at the core of it. So we elim­i­nat­ed the spo­ken poet­ry because in the per­for­mance of the truth the words don’t real­ly mat­ter at all.

Peter Bradley: NOMOLOGOS
Amendment VI: Rights of Defendants in Criminal Trial

presented by Peter Bradley

The con­ceit is that you’re a ball of ink on the nation­al mall and you’re try­ing to get to the Supreme Courthouse in order to sort of argue your case. 

Shawn Pierre: ___ vs ___
Amendment V: Due Process, Self-Incrimination, Eminent Domain

presented by Shawn Pierre

I’m real­ly real­ly inter­est­ed in see­ing what hap­pens when two peo­ple who know each oth­er real­ly well start to play. Because the peo­ple you know well, you get to know their tells when they tell a lie, or at least maybe you think you do.

Vi Trinh: Cyber Soldiers in Cyber Houses
Amendment III: The Housing of Soldiers

presented by Vi Trinh

What struck me first about the Third Amendment is that it’s the only part of the Constitution that deals direct­ly with the rela­tion­ship between the rights of indi­vid­u­als and the mil­i­tary in both peace and war.

Andy Malone: Standoff
Amendment II: The Right to Bear Arms

presented by Andy Malone

I was drawn to the con­cept of fin­ger guns as a metaphor. I also did­n’t want to use actu­al guns in this project. That was sort of a chal­lenge for myself, to not make this about shoot­ing things or make this about overt violence.

The Art of Discovery, As Seen by a Physicist
presented by Subodh Patil

The scientific method was perfected in the crucible of natural science, and physics in particular. And an old professor of mine once told me that a good theoretical physicist is intrinsically a lazy person. And so these heuristics of ignoring superfluous detail, simplifying the problem to its barest essentials, maybe even making a caricature out of it, solving that simpler problem. If you can't solve that simpler problem, solve an even simpler problem. This actually works in physics. Because the universe is intrinsically a lazy place. Read more →

Latinx Environmentalisms: Place, Justice, and the Decolonial
presented by Priscilla Solis Ybarra

This is a panel that proposes to talk about liberatory, joyful aesthetics. And if you've taken the time to read the Green New Deal, it doesn't really take a lot of care to appeal to us in an aesthetic way, right. It's a bureaucratic document. But we're challenged here to talk about cultural politics and the Green New Deal, or what Damian said this morning, how does that politics feel and entice? Read more →

Ten Years of Terror: J. Peter Burgess
presented by J. Peter Burgess

Few concepts have seized our political imagination in the last decade like security. Few concepts have mobilized us to engage so many extraordinary measures, to dedicate so much money, and to change the lives of so many people as security. And the concept of security has not at all remained stable. It hasn't remained at all aloof or untouched by this process. Read more →

ASU KEDtalks: Solving the Unsolvable Problem
presented by Nadya Bliss

Today we face many highly complex challenges both nationally and internationally. From security of our information networks, to planning for and managing natural disasters, to emergence of new infectious diseases, to social and political conflict throughout the world, these challenges are messy, and highly interconnected.

Studying Harm
presented by Fiery Cushman

One of the most recent paradigms that we've used to try to get this under experimental control is to ask people to act out pretend harmful actions. So for instance, we'll give them a disabled handgun. We'll show them that it's fake. That it couldn't possibly harm a fly. We put it in their hands and then we ask them to shoot us in the head.
