The Bronowski Art & Science Forum presents Ernest Silva.
Ernest Silva’s paintings and sculptures (www.ernestsilva.org) are psychological landscapes bridging tranquil American subject matter and the disquieting, to reveal aspects of human nature. Silva uses images to trigger speculation, based on personal experience, though not autobiographical. The common denominators are the handmade, the emotive, and the sense that they may have been imagined, or recalled from memory. They can be read literally but easily move to metaphor.

Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface
Exhibition runs Monday, October 5 through November 25, 2009
Calit2 Theater / Atkinson Hall, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093
The gallery@calit2 presents "Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface" moderated by Eduardo Navas. The show brings together works by seven artists who draw upon the cultural landscape of the border region linking Tijuana and San Diego. While most of the artists are based in Tijuana, two of them - Lea Rudee and Fred Lonidier - are UC San Diego faculty members. The works in "Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface" range from digital prints to interactive multimedia. José Ignacio López Ramírez-Gastón's interactive spatialized sound installation, 24 Speakers and 24 Sound Sources, deployed in the interior of the gallery@calit2, enacts the concept of the democratization of knowledge and 'reversed migration' in the use of technology. In the main hallway, Media Womb creates an interactive sound cocoon made of recycled egg cartons - visitors' movements inside the womb modulate sounds connected to the media's mis/representations of Tijuana and transborder drug cartels. Media Womb is a collaboration from the artists of the CUBO Project: Giacomo Castagnola, Camilo Ontiveros, Nina Waisman and Felipe Zúñiga, with programming by Marius Schebella. Other works on display include former UCSD School of Engineering dean Lea Rudee's photographs documenting the Tijuana River's path across the border, revealing its many roles as drainage creek, city water supply, border crossing obstacle, and preserved salt marsh. UCSD Visual Arts Professor Fred Lonidier's N.A.F.T.A. #15 "Rio Tijuana Bridge: A Tale of Two Globes or Two Tales of a Globe/Puente del Rio Tijuana: Un Cuento de Dos Mundos o Cuentos de Un Mundo" provides a representation of the problematics of "globalization" from the perspective of the organized efforts by workers to make gains in labor rights and conditions of employment.

Giulio Carlo Argan said that realism is flagrant presence. That idea developed in his critique of the revival, which for him was a model of uncritical appropriation of the past. For Argan realism is the antithesis of revival, and provides both an historical awareness of the present. Choosing the title for this exhibition involves reviewing various points of view in approaching the past in the present and in revision of the definition of realism. In this project the concept of realism will be complemented and qualified by the concept of nostalgia. Those are the two key themes of the exhibition. The nostalgia here is not associated with the revival because it does not appear as recycling of past styles. In fact, both the work of Mark Lee as Rubén Ortiz Torres can be seen as criticism of the revival, as it is kitsch. They sense the nostalgia as a subjective state of reality and as a present state of culture ...

In the information society the current reality is an increasing dependence on technological resources to create order and to find meaning in a gigantic quantity of online data. Searching has surpassed browsing and surfing as main activity on the web. This development turned the search engine into our most significant point of reference. Its focus on efficiency and expansion of services tends to veil the nature of the technology as well as underlying (corporate) ideologies.
In this query driven society, The Society of the Query conference seeks to analyze what impact our reliance on resources to manage knowledge on the Internet has on our culture. The theory of a semantic web lurking around the corner revives the ‘human vs. artificial intelligence’-debate. The centralizing web demands to critically question the distribution of power, the diversity and accessibility of web content, while promising alternatives for the dominant paradigm surface in peer-to-peer and open source initiatives. Finally, the question arises what role politics and education, after having invested substantially in media intelligence, can play in the creation of an informed users’ group.
