Transmedia visiting artist, Jacqueline Goss will give a talk Jan 21, at 2 p.m. in Shemin Auditrorium in the Shaffer Art Building.
Goss likes stories about people who set out to objectively measure or chart something and then fail in interesting ways when they get tangled up in the natural color and noise of the world. She makes movies and web-based works that explore how political, cultural and scientific systems change the ways we think about ourselves. For the last few years, she has used 2D digital animation techniques to work within the genre of the animated documentary.
Her most recent videos are “How To Fix The World” –a look at Soviet-sponsored literacy programs in 1930s Central Asia–and “Stranger Comes To Town” –an animated documentary about the identity-tracking of immigrants and travelers coming into the United States.
A native of New Hampshire, she attended Brown University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She teaches in the Film and Electronic Arts Department at Bard College. She is a 2008 Tribeca Film Institute Media Arts Fellow and the 2007 recipient of the Herb Alpert Award in film and Video.
Her current project is “The Observers” –a portrait of the summit of Mount Washington, N.H.: home to the highest human-recorded wind speed and one of the oldest weather observatories in the western hemisphere.
