Jon giving a lecture from a classroom in Islamabad to AIOU Regional Centers in Umerkot and DG Khan using web conferencing and a high speed interent connection carrying video and audio. Throughout the lecture, Jon asked questions and took responses from the very engaged students enrolled in the fledgling Bachelors in Computer Science program, providing an model of how to move from lecture only models of instruction to a highly interactive, technology assisted model. Once we work with our AIOU visitors in August, our plan is that they will be able to add online course materials to the mix as well through their Moodle learning management system.

Sixth Annual Robert Rosenblum Lecture: “Solar Ethics” by Huey Copeland
Monday, April 4, 2016
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Since his death in 1993, the musician, writer, and composer Sun Ra—a self-styled intergalactic prophet hailing from Saturn by way of ancient Egypt—has become a frequently referenced touchstone for cultural producers of various stripes. In this lecture, art historian Huey Copeland explored Ra’s representations of space-time and their implications for contemporary artists, such as Edgar Arceneaux, Glenn Ligon, and Mai-Thu Perret, who identify with his utopian aspirations and who have subsequently taken up the challenge thrown down by his life and work. While commentators have made much of Ra’s brilliant troping on black alienation, particularly his embrace of outer space, equally important to his intellectual project was a radical rethinking of the logics of Western temporality. Ultimately, Copeland argued, Ra’s thinking points us toward new criteria for the evaluation of recent art that take seriously both the recursiveness and simultaneity of time as it unfolds within, beyond, and across the black world.
