      Violence, Technology and Public Intervention

/San Diego, May 14, 2009/ -- Calit2 at UC San Diego and the UC Digital
Arts Research Network (UCDARnet) sponsored a recent symposium on art's
role in addressing the current and historical relationship between
technology and violence. It was in connection with a new gallery at calit2
exhibit about anti-personnel land mines.

The exhibit, "The Anti-Personnel Mines Project" by Argentine new-media
artist Carlos Trilnick, runs through June 10, 2009 at the intimate
gallery space on the first floor of Atkinson Hall. The interactive
installation focuses on the long-term devastation that land mines
produce, even decades after an armed conflict has ended. Trilnick was
the keynote speaker at the "Violence, Technology and Public
Intervention" symposium on April 24 at Calit2, which features panel
discussion on public intervention as art -- and the art of public
intervention. Artists from UC San Diego and other institutions talked
about projects ranging from the "Public Secrets Project" to the
"Transborder Immigrant Tool."

The symposium presentations are now available for on-demand viewing
