February 23, 2016 3-D Portraits From DNA "It all started with wondering what I could learn about someone from a little piece ... they left behind," says artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg. Using discarded items like cigarette butts, chewing gum, and fingernails, she extracted traces of DNA to create masks based on the owner's genetic profile. While difficult to determine how closely these portraits match the original holder, they do put a human face on larger questions surrounding genetic surveillance. Filmmakers Veena Rao and Emily Sheskin present Dewey-Hagborg's "Stranger Visions" series and her counter-surveillance product Invisible, a set of sprays she claims erases the majority of one's DNA footprint. |

| February 2, 2016 Editing as Punctuation in Film In January 2014 Kathryn Schulz published an article in Vulture called "The Five Best Punctuation Marks in Literature. It got Max Tohline thinking about what the five best "punctuation marks" in film might look like. He wanted to assemble a video essay with a rapidfire list of nominees of great moments of editing-as-punctuation in film. But as he started putting it together, the project grew into a twofold piece: an analysis of and response to Schulz's article as well as an attempt to spur new insights about editing by examining it through the metaphor of punctuation. |
