Cracow Creche
The fifth annual Cracow Creche exhibition and reception will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday in the William Pitt Student Union, Fifth Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard, University of Pittsburgh Oakland campus.
The creches are a folk art specific to the city of Cracow, Poland, where they are called szopka. They originated in the Middle Ages as elaborate puppet stages for Christmas season morality plays. The creches were made by students in a six-week workshop taught yearly by Pittsburgh folk artist and former art administrator David Motak, who traveled to Poland to learn the craft from szopka masters.
The Pittsburgh project is the only one of its kind outside of Poland. The event, sponsored in part by the University of Pittsburgh Polish Nationality Room Committee, is free and open to the public. Traditional Polish holiday music and ethnic pastries will also be featured. For information, visit website .

CMU - Art Building - Kresge Hall
The School of Art presents Trenton Doyle Hancock, an artist who uses painting, printmaking, drawing, collage and sculpture to create a mythological world where the classic battle of good versus evil is acted out between his central characters, the Mounds and the Vegans. The narratives unfold episodically with the artist moving backwards and forwards in time, continually developing and enriching his stories. His works exhibit a multiplicity of layers and meaning that are at once both exuberant and subversive.

Building Virtual Worlds
See the raucous stage show that marks semester’s end for the “Building Virtual Worlds” class. The interdisciplinary project course attracts students from computer science, drama, engineering, art and other departments who work in teams to develop interactive virtual worlds. The often hilarious, colorful and exhilarating show allows students to show off their best projects to a standing room only audience. Created by renowned Computer Science Professor Randy Pausch, the class now is taught by Jesse Schell, assistant professor in the Entertainment Technology Center, a joint operation of the College of Fine Arts and School of Computer Science. “What I think is special about the show is that it is unlike anything else — it is a mix of performance art, video games, computer animation and audience participation — a virtual reality vaudeville show that has become a Carnegie Mellon tradition,” Schell said.

South Side Works
Pittsburgh's Third Annual Santarchy will start at 2:00pm at the fountain in the South Side Works on Saturday, December 8, 2007. Same time and place as last year (and nearly the same day)! Remember that Santa is ON TIME until 2:00pm, at which point the herd will be sheparded toward its first watering hole and time loses all meaning. DO NOT BE LATE. If you can't be there by 2:00pm, you better have a backup plan for your costume. A hundred red suits can disappear pretty quickly at the sound of alcohol pouring into glasses. Early Santas get a souvenir book of lewd carols. Late Santas get left behind.
YES, you MUST wear a costume. NO, you can NOT get by with a red shirt and Santa hat. BE CREATIVE, ya lazy bum! You don't have to look like Santa, but you MUST NOT look like you. Jeans, in particular, will be removed and destroyed without warning.
There will be less of a schedule this year than in previous years, and what little schedule there is, is subject to revision or abandonment at any moment. We're expecting a record number of Santas, elves, reindeer and other critters this year, and who knows what direction they might wander. Stick with the pack and you shouldn't get lost or hurt too badly. If you see more than one pack, stick with the biggest one. Or not. It's Santarchy, not follow-the-effing-leader. Santa is welcome pretty much anywhere he enters, except maybe Dee's.
Bring money for public transit, alcohol and food. Bring your ID, because even Santa gets carded these days. Stay hydrated, or at least stay liquored up. Pay your own tab and tip the staff like Santa would. Bars will be packed, lines will be long, and stops will be short. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN INEBRIATION.
(Santa does not advocate breaking open container laws. Santa's just sayin'...)
Don't be THAT Santa. Your friends want to have fun, not scrape the puke outta your beard or prevent your wasted ass from wandering recklessly into traffic.
Bring innocent toys to hand out to kids and naughty toys to give to adults. IT IS YOUR CIVIC DUTY TO MAKE PEOPLE WONDER WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.
There will be more antics this year than in previous years. Be ready to be rambunctious and spend a lot more time drawing attention to ourselves. Remember that Santarchy isn't about the BARS, it's about the CRAWLS. We have some intentions, but if you have an idea for a prank or stunt along the way, JUST DO IT. Get other people to join you, to share the fun and spread the blame. Interact with passers-by as well as other Santarchists... they will probably appreciate it.
And add to that, don't get yourself into any trouble that you can't get yourself out of. Santa has a way of disappearing when the red and blue lights start flashing or the fists start flying. Don't expect a Santa Bouncer or Santa Lawyer to come running to your side, ya stupid prick!
Remember the answers to these frequently asked questions:
Q: Is this some sort of political statement?
A: No, it's fun. Remember fun?
Q: What are you protesting?
A: Shitty holiday parties.
Q: Who's in charge?
A: Santa!
Q: Which Santa?
A: The one with the beard.
Q: Which Santa with a beard?
A: That's it, you're on the naughty list.
Q: Where are you going?
A: Nobody knows but Santa.
Q: Can I join you?
A: Get into a costume and we'll talk.
Q: But I don't have a costume?
A: Buy us all a round of drinks and we'll talk.
If you manage to stay with the pack the whole afternoon and evening, and not get yourself beat up or arrested, you should finish up somewhere near Satan Square. I mean, Station Square. Same difference, if you think about it. Anyway, getting your fat Santa ass back to the South Side Works for your vehicle is your own damn responsibility, since the reindeer will be too drunk to pull the sleigh. Your best bet is to have someone drop you off at the starting point and take a cab home. Cabbies absolutely LOVE having drunk Santas as passengers, no matter what you've heard to the contrary. Tip them well. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.
Santarchy is brought to you by the Pittsburgh Cacophony Society -- you may already be a member!
Hey Santa! If you're joining Pittsburgh Santarchy this year, remember to bring your trusty toy sack along for extra cacophonous fun! A black contractor-grade trash bag will work well, but just about anything large and strong enough to hold a shitload of toys will come in *very* handy for you this season.

Nicholas P. Sullivan, Author of "You Can Hear Me Now"
The cell phone revolution in the developing world is a story of transformation on par with the Industrial Revolution in the West. In poor countries where five or 10 years ago only the rich had phones and bank accounts, hundreds of millions now have phones—and are using them to transfer money (locally and internationally), buy and sell goods, track agricultural prices and connect to doctors. The stories of GrameenPhone in Bangladesh, CelTel in Africa and Smart Communications in The Philippines, among others, show how the introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) at the grassroots, and particularly in rural areas, is creating a whole new class of indigenous entrepreneurs, increasing incomes in the informal sector, and driving national economic growth. At the same time, the cell phone stories show the power of private investment over development aid as an economic tool, as new capital markets incubate and evolve to spark long-term growth. This is a win-win story of inclusive capitalism that creates wealth as it spreads wealth. Nicholas P. Sullivan has written widely about technology and entrepreneurship, for the most part tracking the impact of the information communications technology revolution in the United States. For the past five years he has focused on global development and investment, a path he followed after hosting international Internet conferences and radio programs for entrepreneurs while he served as editor in chief of Inc.com (a sister company to Inc. magazine). He was thereafter a United Nations–accredited business interlocutor to the International Financing for Development Conference (Monterrey, Mexico, 2002), and participated in several follow-on dialogues at the United Nations.
Sullivan is author of the upcoming You Can Hear Me Now: Connecting the World’s Poor to the Global Economy (Jossey-Bass, January 2007). For 15 years, he wrote the Workstyles column (“life and work in the information age”) for Home Office Computing. He is publisher of Innovations: Technology/Governance/Globalization (an MIT Press journal), and a partner in the Global Horizon Fund, a private-equity fund-of-local funds in emerging markets, for whom he compiles the annual Wealth of Nations Index, a ranking of 70 developing countries.
Sullivan is a graduate of Harvard University and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship at M.I.T. (www.lcde.org).

The University Lecture Series presents Martin Davis of New York University and UC Berkeley. Davis' talk is titied "Alan Turing's Computers and our Computers."
In 1999, Time magazine proposed their list of the 20 greatest “scientists and thinkers'” of the 20th century. Explaining their choice of Alan Turing as one of the 20, they wrote: “everyone who taps at a keyboard, opening a spreadsheet or a word-processing program, is working on an incarnation of a Turing machine.” Although these “machines” were only mathematical abstractions that Turing had introduced in a technical paper published in 1936, they implied a whole new way of thinking about computation and revealed the goal of an all-purpose machine that could be “programmed” to carry out arbitrary computations. In this talk Davis will tell the story of Turing’s rich, eventful, and ultimately tragic life, and explain some of his ideas.

Annual Mountain Bike Dorseyville Punk Bike Enduro
That time of year again. The big news is that this years PUNK will be
self-supported. Stuff was getting out of hand, so… NO MOTORS! No
support vans, no dirt bikes, just bikes, so you better be ready. In
fact we’ve brought back the old PPG loop so the course will be longer
and harder. Of course we will do our best to provide some beverages
on trail but you’d be wise to bring something like a backpack with a
mug in it, plenty of liquids, some warm clothing and FOOD. Yes, we
are bringing back the old days. So here’s the official announcement

Nicholas P. Sullivan, Author of "You Can Hear Me Now"
The cell phone revolution in the developing world is a story of transformation on par with the Industrial Revolution in the West. In poor countries where five or 10 years ago only the rich had phones and bank accounts, hundreds of millions now have phones—and are using them to transfer money (locally and internationally), buy and sell goods, track agricultural prices and connect to doctors. The stories of GrameenPhone in Bangladesh, CelTel in Africa and Smart Communications in The Philippines, among others, show how the introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) at the grassroots, and particularly in rural areas, is creating a whole new class of indigenous entrepreneurs, increasing incomes in the informal sector, and driving national economic growth. At the same time, the cell phone stories show the power of private investment over development aid as an economic tool, as new capital markets incubate and evolve to spark long-term growth. This is a win-win story of inclusive capitalism that creates wealth as it spreads wealth. Nicholas P. Sullivan has written widely about technology and entrepreneurship, for the most part tracking the impact of the information communications technology revolution in the United States. For the past five years he has focused on global development and investment, a path he followed after hosting international Internet conferences and radio programs for entrepreneurs while he served as editor in chief of Inc.com (a sister company to Inc. magazine). He was thereafter a United Nations–accredited business interlocutor to the International Financing for Development Conference (Monterrey, Mexico, 2002), and participated in several follow-on dialogues at the United Nations.
Sullivan is author of the upcoming You Can Hear Me Now: Connecting the World’s Poor to the Global Economy (Jossey-Bass, January 2007). For 15 years, he wrote the Workstyles column (“life and work in the information age”) for Home Office Computing. He is publisher of Innovations: Technology/Governance/Globalization (an MIT Press journal), and a partner in the Global Horizon Fund, a private-equity fund-of-local funds in emerging markets, for whom he compiles the annual Wealth of Nations Index, a ranking of 70 developing countries.
Sullivan is a graduate of Harvard University and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship at M.I.T. (www.lcde.org).

synopsis of the films available at http://rojaszotelo.googlepages.com/shortfilmanddocumentaryfestival
About the film and the director:
Based on the life of artist Pedro Manrique Figeroa (a leftist militant) who has been called the pioneer of collage art in Colombia after artists Lucas Ospina, François Bucher, and Bernardo Ortiz discovered his work in 1996; the film attempts to construct a biographical sketch of Manrique Figueroa, proposing nothing less than the retelling and re-imagining of a crucial period of Colombian history, from the civil war that began in the 1940s to the guerrilla wars and the new drug cartels of the 1970s and 1980s. After a series of national and international exhibits of his work Marique Figeroa has become central to understand the fragmented history of a complex nation, this film A Paper Tiger is a collage itself, placing art and politics, truth and lies side by side, letting documentary and fiction intermingle.
Luis Ospina was born in Cali, Colombia, in 1949. He studied film at USC and UCLA in California. His film-related activities include not only the many films he has directed but also his efforts as a Film Club organizer, co-founder of the film magazine "Ojo al Cine", teacher at universities, critic and chronicler for journals and magazines. He has also directed film workshops and edited several books. A collection of his articles and essays was recently published in Colombia. Up to date he has made two feature-length fiction films and more than forty short films and documentaries.

Challenge of Diversity in Higher Education
The University Lecture Series presents Beverly Daniel Tatum, president of Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga. Tatum's talk is titled "Challenge of Diversity in Higher Education." Prior to joining Spelman College, Tatum was acting president, dean and a professor of education and psychology at Mt. Holyoke College. She is a clinical psychologist who has addressed issues surrounding race and racism in her courses, psychology practice and consulting. One area of focus for two of her books has been racial identity as it is experienced throughout our educational system for students of underrepresented racial/ethnic populations. She is the author of "Assimilation Blues: Black Families in White Communities (1987), Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" "And Other Conversations About Race, Assimilation Blues: Black Families in White Communities (1997)," and published this year "Can We Talk About Race? And Other Conversations in an Era of School Resegregation (2007)." The talk is supported by a grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

Terry Irwin, Co-founder of MetaDesign San Francisco: Design and Worldview
Designed artifacts, processes, and the built environment are the physical embodiment of our individual and cultural worldviews. To the extent that our worldview is sustainable, so too will be the design that arises out of it.
In this lecture I look at the concept of worldview and propose that our current/dominant western worldview is unsustainable, which makes it practically impossible for a new, sustainable design paradigm to arise from within it. We need to work with and shift the cultural worldview before the paradigms of the disciplines will follow. Part of my research therefore, looks at the characteristics and assumptions of both the dominant (mechanistic worldview) and the business/economic paradigms which influence design. Finally I look at the design paradigm and some of its underlying assumptions.

Anne Taylor, Director of Technology, National Federation of the Blind: Designing Products for Non-Visual Access
Much of the current on innovation in industrial design has focused on making more technology available in different, flexible ways. The emphasis on mobility and flexibility, however, has done little to address the needs of growing group of consumers with visual impairments. This talk will expose new opportunities for design from a non-visual angle. It will describe the issues that arise as technology and formats change, and makes a case for a more inclusive design.
Non-visual access, if integrated in the development process from an early stage, is an opportunity to re-evaluate the consumer group the product is intended for. It is an opportunity for creativity that serves the community as a whole, not only those who are blind. Past developments indicate that non-visual design often represents a move forward in all design, increasing, as it does, the ease of access and simplicity of operation. Optical character recognition, pioneered in a reading machine for the blind, has long since become mainstream technology, as have the type of portable devices (similar to modern PDAs) that were first used as notetakers for blind people.
The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is the largest membership organization of blind people in the US. NFB has always aimed to do more than simply evaluate what others produce, as most recently demonstrated in their co-operation with Kurzweil Technologies to produce the Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader.
Anne Taylor is the National Federation of the Blind’s Director of Technology, and she maintains close relationships with manufacturers of both general and specifically non-visual products, providing feedback on existing products and consulting on the development of new ones. Ms. Taylor also manages the largest collection of non-visual technology in the US, in the form of the International Braille and Technology Center, and continues to work with universities in the area to involve their engineering students in the Center.
She's an expert in Braille devices

The School of Art presents Rachel Whiteread, an artist who creates large-scale sculptures and installations by casting everyday objects, including household furniture and large architectural structures to explore complex notions of presence and absence, memory and loss, and the relationship of the body to forms in space. These works, including Untitled (Domestic) 2002, a plaster cast of a three-story staircase recently acquired by Carnegie Museum of Art, formally document how humans relate to the spaces around them.
Nov 8 - 5 PM
The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery presents an opening reception for three exhibitions, featuring a photo installation by Patricia Maurides, a series of wall-hung sculptures by Michelle Stitzlein, and a suite of paintings by Julie Stunden. Maurides investigates her origins in installations made up of photos, projected images and natural sounds. Many photos explore her past and were shot on location in the village in southern Greece where her father was born. Maurides was the first director of Carnegie Mellon's Bachelor of Humanities and Arts and Bachelor of Science and Arts programs. Stitzlein transforms discarded items into large-scale sculptures with some comprising hundreds of objects. Stunden's colorful paintings inspire viewers to reflect on the fantastic and realistic elements in her work and synthesize them into a single perspective. The exhibitions run through Dec. 21.

Anne Taylor, Director of Technology, National Federation of the Blind: Designing Products for Non-Visual Access
Much of the current on innovation in industrial design has focused on making more technology available in different, flexible ways. The emphasis on mobility and flexibility, however, has done little to address the needs of growing group of consumers with visual impairments. This talk will expose new opportunities for design from a non-visual angle. It will describe the issues that arise as technology and formats change, and makes a case for a more inclusive design.
Non-visual access, if integrated in the development process from an early stage, is an opportunity to re-evaluate the consumer group the product is intended for. It is an opportunity for creativity that serves the community as a whole, not only those who are blind. Past developments indicate that non-visual design often represents a move forward in all design, increasing, as it does, the ease of access and simplicity of operation. Optical character recognition, pioneered in a reading machine for the blind, has long since become mainstream technology, as have the type of portable devices (similar to modern PDAs) that were first used as notetakers for blind people.
The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is the largest membership organization of blind people in the US. NFB has always aimed to do more than simply evaluate what others produce, as most recently demonstrated in their co-operation with Kurzweil Technologies to produce the Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader.
Anne Taylor is the National Federation of the Blind’s Director of Technology, and she maintains close relationships with manufacturers of both general and specifically non-visual products, providing feedback on existing products and consulting on the development of new ones. Ms. Taylor also manages the largest collection of non-visual technology in the US, in the form of the International Braille and Technology Center, and continues to work with universities in the area to involve their engineering students in the Center.
She's an expert in Braille devices

Carnegie Lecture Hall, Carnegie Museum of Art
The School of Art presents Rachel Whiteread, an artist who creates large-scale sculptures and installations by casting everyday objects, including household furniture and large architectural structures to explore complex notions of presence and absence, memory and loss, and the relationship of the body to forms in space. These works, including Untitled (Domestic) 2002, a plaster cast of a three-story staircase recently acquired by Carnegie Museum of Art, formally document how humans relate to the spaces around them.
Nov 8 - 5 PM
The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery presents an opening reception for three exhibitions, featuring a photo installation by Patricia Maurides, a series of wall-hung sculptures by Michelle Stitzlein, and a suite of paintings by Julie Stunden. Maurides investigates her origins in installations made up of photos, projected images and natural sounds. Many photos explore her past and were shot on location in the village in southern Greece where her father was born. Maurides was the first director of Carnegie Mellon's Bachelor of Humanities and Arts and Bachelor of Science and Arts programs. Stitzlein transforms discarded items into large-scale sculptures with some comprising hundreds of objects. Stunden's colorful paintings inspire viewers to reflect on the fantastic and realistic elements in her work and synthesize them into a single perspective. The exhibitions run through Dec. 21.

Joint Physics Colloquium, Dr. Robert Lang, Ph.D in Physics from Caltech and now is a full-time artist and consultant on Origami's applications to engineering problems, "From Flapping Birds to Space Telescopes: The Modern Science of Origami," Cosponsored by the Department of Physics and the School of Art,
Abstract: The last decade of this past century has been witness to a revolution in the development and application of mathematical techniques to origami, the centuries-old Japanese art of paper-folding. The techniques used in mathematical origami design range from the abstruse to the highly approachable. In this talk, I will describe how geometric concepts led to the solution of a broad class of origami folding problems – specifically, the problem of efficiently folding a shape with an arbitrary number and arrangement of flaps, and along the way, enabled origami designs of mind-blowing complexity and realism, some of which you’ll see, too. As often happens in mathematics, theory originally developed for its own sake has led to some surprising practical applications. The algorithms and theorems of origami design have shed light on long-standing mathematical questions and have solved practical engineering problems. I will discuss examples of how origami has enabled safer airbags, Brobdingnagian space telescopes, and more.
Robert J. Lang is recognized as one of the foremost origami artists in the world as well as a pioneer in computational origami and the development of formal design algorithms for folding. With a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Caltech, he has, during the course of work at NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Spectra Diode Laboratories, and JDS Uniphase, authored or co-authored over 80 papers and 45 patents in lasers and optoelectronics as well as 8 books and a CD-ROM on origami. He is a full-time artist and consultant on origami and its applications to engineering problems but moonlights as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics.

THIS MONTH: DOCS THAT AREN'T DOCS (in the traditional sense)
Films will include Duck and Cover and excerpts from Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance. Each is an important classic and has been very influential in its own way among filmmakers.
Almost sixty years old, Duck and Cover also has an eerie relevance to the current political climate of cultivating and maintaining fear. Duck and Cover was a Social guidance film produced in 1951 by the United States federal government's Civil Defense branch shortly after the Soviet Union began nuclear testing. Written by Raymond J. Mauer and directed by Anthony Rizzo of Archer Productions and made with the help of schoolchildren from New York City and Astoria, New York, it was shown in schools as the cornerstone of the government's "duck and cover" public awareness campaign. The movie states that nuclear war could happen at any time without warning, and for U.S. citizens to keep this constantly in mind and be ever ready.
Duck and Cover (1952) 9 min.
Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by minimalist composer Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. In the Hopi language,
the word Koyaanisqatsi means 'life of moral corruption and turmoil, life out of balance', and the film implies that modern humanity is living in such a way.
Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance (1982) 86 min. (excerpts to be shown)
Presented by Salon member Dan Handley.

The International Festival presents its keynote lecture by Charles Fishman, award-winning journalist and author of "The Wal-Mart Effect." By influencing the way we shop, the products we buy, and the prices we pay everyday, Wal-Mart continues to purposefully drive the American economy. On the other end, it affects the operations of the suppliers and changes what is sold, how products are packaged and presented, and the very lives of the factory workers who make these products around the world. It is, as Fishman describes, the most powerful and influential company in the world. Find out more about the phenomena, the lives it has touched, and what it means for the future of globalization. Tickets for the lecture are free and include lunch for all attendees. Tickets must be obtained at the University Center Information Desk.

7-10pm Bhangra in the Burgh
Soldiers & Sailors Museum & Memorial
Don’t miss Bhangra in the Burgh, a national Bhangra dance competition hosted by Carnegie Mellon’s Mayur-SASA and Chak De. Bhangra is a lively and energetic folk dance that originated in an East Pakistan and Northwest India region known as Punjab. It is typically performed while celebrating the annual harvest, but after spreading its popularity, particularly in the United Kingdom, Canada and the US, it has fused with Western elements including hip-hop and reggae. The competition will boast Bhangra dance teams from universities around the country competing for the top prize. All proceeds will go to the Homeless Children’s Education Fund, a non-profit organization that provides access to education for homeless children of Allegheny County. By attending, you are supporting a worthy cause and will most certainly be entertained and given a glimpse of the Punjab and South Asian cultures.
Tickets for Carnegie Mellon community members are $10 and for sale at the University Center Information Desk. Bus service will be provided from the UC Turnaround to Soldiers & Sailors in Oakland.

Shoot Shoot Shoot: British Avant-Garde Film of the 1960s & 1970s
The 1960s and 1970s were groundbreaking decades in which independent
filmmakers challenged cinematic convention. In England, much of the
innovation took place at the London Film-Makers' Co-operative, an artist-led
organization that enabled filmmakers to control every aspect of the
creative process. LFMC members conducted an investigation of celluloid
that echoed contemporary developments in painting and sculpture. During
this same period, British filmmakers also made significant innovations
in the field of "expanded cinema", creating multi-screen projections,
film environments and live performance pieces.
The physical production of a film (its printing and processing) became
integral to its form and content as Malcolm Le Grice, Lis Rhodes, Peter
Gidal and others explored the material and mechanics of cinema, making
radical new works that contributed to a new visual language. The
London Film-Makers' Co-operative, established in 1966, grew from a film
society at the heart of London’s sixties counterculture to become
Europe's largest distributor of experimental cinema and was recognized
internationally as a major centre for avant-garde film.
