description nil → The Mission Committed to contemporary art since 2000, Disjecta provides essential resources for artists to create and exhibit new work. After a period of uncharacteristic quietness, Disjecta is pleased to formally announce the public opening of our new 10,000 sf arts building at 8371 N Interstate in the historic Kenton neighborhood. The former bowling alley turned abandoned hydraulic shop has undergone a facelift since we signed a long-term lease in January 2008 and now houses five large, fully leased artist studios, along with 3,500 sf of visual exhibition space. When complete, the new Disjecta will include a fully equipped, affordable 1,600 sf rehearsal space available to independent performing artists and companies. In 2009, we will add expanded offices, residency studios and a café/bar.

create Calagator::Event 1250464862 INCIDENT ENERGY: an infrared video installation Roll back

description nil → INCIDENT ENERGY is a multi-channel video installation by Jacob Pander and Marne Lucas filmed with heat-sensitive Thermal Imaging (infrared/IR) cameras, exploring themes of nature, culture and the body. By utilizing Range Phenomenology technology usually associated with military, border, or aerial surveillance, we aim to inspire contemplation by framing the luminous energy of the human body and offering a glimpse into visual worlds that are ever-present yet hidden from our perception. Thermal imaging details the subtle changes in heating and cooling surface temperatures, revealing the changing light in corporeal and inanimate objects; heat appears white and cold becomes black. By visualizing changing heat-signatures radiating from the body, one senses the temporal coalescence of ancient stellar energy in the form of living beings. “We share a mutual fascination with the aesthetic of the human body and the intersection of technology within art and science; and how the advancement of surveillance technology continues to change cultural and human interaction - for better or worse - in practical, philosophical and creative ways.” -Lucas and Pander Contrasting the stark IR imagery with primal human movement, dance choreographer Jim McGinn and accompanying performers appear as translucent primitive humans, like living alabaster sculptures in a timeless realm where bodies possess a simultaneous interiority/exteriority; as warm veins, cold extremities and breath are all visible (in real time, no special effects). Scenes filmed in nature and in contemporary settings reflect events and emotions of community, love, birth, conflict, decay and death unfolding against black snow-covered forests, empty beach landscapes and dense urban crowds, juxtaposed with vast solar, lunar and interstellar imagery. OPENING NIGHT PERFORMANCE: Dancer Jim McGinn will perform live at the opening reception in conjunction with the installation; his body silhouetted against simultaneous live thermal image projections that echo his movements.

update Calagator::Event 1250464766 Squawkathon Roll back

description Calling all designers, programmers and eco-warriors: endangered seabirds need your help. THE PROBLEM Seabird bycatch is when birds are unintentionally captured and killed in fishing activities. For example, in longline fishing, birds take the bait meant for fish, are hooked, and drown. Bycatch is always bad, but for endangered species with already vulnerable populations, it’s devastating. But there is hope. Better data collection could lead to better longterm management and protection protocols. We need to find an ingenious way to track this bycatch. And we think you can help. Somewhere, there’s a feathered friend who will thank you for it. WHY ME? If you have an industrial design, UX design, programming, data science or project management background and care deeply about beautiful flying squawky things, you’re an essential addition. Plus you’ll be surrounded by lots of other smart, dedicated eco-warriors. It’ll be a lot of fun. WAIT, HOLD ON... WHAT’S A HACKATHON? A hackathon is an event where creative and tech-savvy people collaborate to build solutions for hard-to-solve problems. The event is being hosted by Context Partners and sponsored by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation. RSVP and get more info including FAQ and wiki at http://www.squawkathon.org → Calling all designers, programmers and eco-warriors: this hackathon is for the birds. RSVP to hold your spot at www.squawkathon.org Top 5 reasons to attend: 1. Apply your skills to an important environmental challenge 2. Meet and work with some seriously smart and creative Portlanders 3. Showcase your talents to international marine bird scientists and the Packard Foundation, who have pioneered environmental work in sustainable seafood and beyond 4. A monetary prize will be awarded to the winning team 5. There'll be free food, beer and other surprises for all participants THE PROBLEM Seabird bycatch is when birds are unintentionally captured and killed in fishing activities. Bycatch is always bad, but for endangered species with already vulnerable populations, it’s devastating. In order to address this critical environmental challenge, we need to find an ingenious way to track this bycatch. Better data collection could lead to better long-term management and protection protocols. WHY ME? If you have design, programming, or project management chops, you can prevent the accidental death of marine birds. A monetary prize will be awarded to the winning team. Plus, there will be plenty of free food and beer. WAIT, HOLD ON... WHAT’S A HACKATHON? A hackathon is an event where creative and tech-savvy people collaborate to build solutions for hard-to-solve problems. You’ll fit right in. FAQs Where can I contact the organizer with any questions? Please direct your questions to packardx [at] contextpartners [dot] com. Where can I find some more background on the issue? Relevant background materials will be shared to the Squawkathon wiki as they become available: wiki.squawkathon.org Will the David and Lucile Packard Foundation provide funding to further develop concepts? Through this Squawkathon, the Packard Foundation is interested in surfacing ideas for efficiently monitoring marine bird bycatch. The ideas that come out of the Squawkathon will be all of ours to develop further and build on. At this point in time, the Foundation is not committing resources to the development of any particular idea, but will continue to assess whether our support could have significant impact in the protection of marine birds species. A monetary prize will be awarded to the winning team. Do I need to come to both days? Because we have a lot to do in a short amount of time, we are asking participants to attend both the kick-off and the day of the hackathon itself. Is there a dress code? Very informal. Wear whatever you work best in. Will free food and drinks be involved? Local beer and local food. Duh. It's Portland.

You should. We are looking to have teams of women with diverse backgrounds. If you are under 15, let us know and we will see if we can work something out. <h3>Why should I attend?</h3> <ul> <li>Altruism. Community-Mindedness. You'd like to help the local community with your skills. </li> <li>Learn from your group members. You'll be on a diverse team of women. We are sure that you'll learn a lot from each other!</li> <li>Learn about the non-profits. Portland has a great nonprofit community and this event will help you get in touch with some of them.</li> <li>Help fundraise for ChickTech K-12 events. By paying for your participation, you are not only getting this experience (and food for days!), you are also helping to make our K-12 events free for participants. Thank you in advance for your support!</li> <li>Childcare is provided.</li> <li>Delicious food is provided. Eat up!</li> </ul><h3>What are we doing, exactly?</h3> You will be in a group of women working on a project for a local nonprofit. The projects are listed below under the Nonprofits section. Each project will have a tech component, but we're looking to create a team with diverse skills to address the needs of the nonprofit. Each group will have a ChickTech or Thetus volunteer to help out. Each group will have a representative from the nonprofit to answer any questions. At the end of the weekend, we want to have a viable solution for the non-profit. <h3>Can men attend?</h3> YES! We are looking for supportive techie guys to help provide childcare for the event in order to break yet another stereotype. We are hoping to have some fun, hands-on activities for the kids too, depending on ages and age ranges. <h3>Can I attend for free? </h3> YES! We are offering a sliding scale because we do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone to attend. If you can afford any of the cost options, please help us out! This will help us cover the costs of this event. Any extra money goes to funding our K-12 programs to ensure that they remain free for participants. <h3>Event Schedule</h3> Friday: 6:30p - 9p, hors d'oeuvres, choose projects, meet teams!

We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square. When: Tuesday, November 12, 2013, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm Where: Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland Cost: $8.00 suggested cover at the door, or available online This Nerd Nite will feature just one speaker, the unforgettable Scott Burns! One of the greatest sets of geological events to ever have occurred in North America was the Missoula Floods. Occurring as many as 40 times during the last ice age, the floods were caused by waters released from ancient Lake Missoula that scoured the Columbia River basin, carved out the Columbia River Gorge, and swept across at least 16,000 square miles of the Pacific Northwest. At this Nerd Nite, Scott Burns, PhD, http://geology.pdx.edu/node/67, professor of geology and past chair of the Department of Geology at PSU, will focus on the incredible story of discovery and development of the idea of the floods by J Harlen Bretz and will discuss the effect of the floods on the landscape of the Willamette Valley and the area around us. *A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering education opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $8 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can. _______ Check out Nerd Nite on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nerdniteportland and Meetup http://www.meetup.com/Nerd-Nite-Portland/.

We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square! When: Tuesday, October 8, 2013, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm Where: Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland Cost: $8.00* suggested cover at the door This Nerd Nite will feature the following two talks: Swinging Between Genomics, Evolution, and Conservation The small apes (or gibbons) are amazing primates living in South East Asia and currently threatened by extinction. They have many distinctive traits separating them from their cousins, the great apes (orang, gorilla and chimp), including the ability to move just using their arms (i.e. brachiation), monogamy, and vocalization to defend their territory. Lucia Carbone, PhD, Assistant Professor at OHSU studying genomics and epigenetics, has been studying the gibbon genome to learn more about these species and primate evolution in general. Her talk will go over her latest findings and highlight a fascinating connection between processes in evolution and human disease. Spider Venoms: The Evolution of an Arsenal Spiders (all 44,000 species) play key roles in our ecosystems as predators of insects. Without spiders there would be many more insects and fewer plants. Evolution over the last 400 million years has created enormous diversity among spiders in predatory tactics, including web and venom use, which has resulted in a phenomenal diversity of silk and venom chemistry. Greta Binford, PhD, Associate Professor of Biology at Lewis & Clark College, studies diversity and evolution of spiders and their venoms, including the toxic brown recluse and its relatives. She will highlight some of the beautiful biological diversity of spiders’ feeding biology, silks, and venoms, and discuss how evolution has generated a "pharmacopeia" of unique toxins that are rich in potential for human applications. *A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door.

create Calagator::Event 1250464853 (Galois Tech Talk) New Directions in Random Testing: from Mars Rovers to JavaScript Engines Roll back

description nil → Presented by Alex Groce. One of the most effective ways to test complex language implementations, file systems, and other critical systems software is random test generation. This talk will cover a number of recent results that show how---despite the importance of hand-tooled random test generators for complex testing targets--- there are methods that can be easily applied in almost any setting to greatly improve the effectiveness of random testing. Surprisingly, giving up on potentially finding any bug with every test makes it possible to find more bugs over all. The practical problem of finding distinct bugs in a large set of randomly generated tests, where the frequency of some bugs may be orders of magnitude higher than other bugs, is also open to non ad-hoc methods.

create Calagator::Event 1250464852 PDXCloud September Gathering Roll back

description nil → This week we have a great presentation lined up from Matthew Hooker called "Cloud-Native DevOps". Matthew works for Simple.com, the innovative finance company that wants to replace your bank. Abstract: > The role of IT administrators is constantly evolving. We've been burdened > (bestowed?) with the task of automating as much as possible as our > infrastructure changes faster than we can keep up. > > Until 2005, you were probably using CFEngine or shell scripts and whatever > package manager your OS supported. Around that time Puppet and Chef dropped, and > it was enlightening. Then, in 2008, EC2 went stable, and the term DevOps started > gaining popularity the next year. > > Unfortunately, both Puppet and Chef arrived just on the cusp of the > transition to IaaS, before we understood best practices for operating in this > new environment. These tools were the product of years of experience operating > raw hardware. There is something lost in translation when we apply these tools > to the cloud. > > This talk is about how we've worked to bridge the gap, to go > Cloud-Native. I'll demonstrate the impedance mismatch that occurs when you run > chef in the cloud, and how we created a system better adapted to this new > environment. I'll argue that instances need to be treated as ephemeral; that the > ability to quickly launch instances is critical to agility; and reinforce the > idea that automation is essential at every step of the process. > > By the end I hope I can convince you that there are ways to operate with > more agility, to insulate yourselves from failure, and let every engineer sleep > better at night. > > I also hope to inspire you to look for the gaps, and to come up with better > ways to close them. This is only the beginning. We need fresh eyes and new > ideas. See you on Wednesday night, and always there will be pizza and refreshments. Doors open at 6:30pm and presentation starts around 7.
