Lecture | Towards Anonymous and Metadata Private Communication at Internet Scale


As the world becomes more connected, privacy is becoming harder to maintain. From social media services to Internet service providers to state-sponsored mass-surveillance programs, many outlets collect sensitive information about the users and the communication between them – often without the users ever knowing about it. In response, many Internet users have turned to end-to-end encryption, like Signal and TLS, to protect the content of the communication. Unfortunately, these works do little to hide the metadata of the communication, such as when and with whom a user is communicating. In scenarios where the metadata are sensitive, encryption alone is not sufficient to ensure users’ privacy. Speaker Srini Devadas is the Webster Professor of EECS at MIT where he has been on the faculty since 1988.

Classical Music | Bach at Noon


The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term 'baroque' has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was 'maestro di capella' at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today's music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi's advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 10, 2019 to May 20, 2020.

Lecture | Imagined Futures and Capitalist Dynamics


In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How do actors assess the future if this future is open and uncertain? In this talk, Professor Jens Beckert attempts to add a new chapter to the theory of capitalism by demonstrating how fictional expectations drive modern economies--or throw them into crisis--when the imagined futures fail to materialize. Collectively held images of how the future will unfold are critical because they free economic actors from paralyzing doubt, enabling them to commit resources and coordinate decisions even if those expectations prove inaccurate. Since they are not confined to empirical reality, fictional expectations are a source of creativity in the economy.

Over the course of his influential four-decade career, Mike Kelley generated a remarkably diverse oeuvre in an array of media, conflating high and low culture, critiquing prevailing aesthetic conventions, and colliding the sacred with the profane. This exhibition is the first in New York to focus on Kelley’s singular approach to painting as a conceptual medium. Featuring paintings from series that span a 15 year period, 1994 through 2009, the exhibition traces Kelley’s engagement with the medium through bodies of work including The Thirteen Seasons (Heavy on the Winter), a series of oval-shaped paintings on wood; Timeless Painting, which signified Kelley’s distinct return to painting in color.

We live in a world where methods of communication and of thought change faster than they ever did before. What does this mean for literature? Looking at the risks and new challenges that are taking shape today, Lina Bolzoni's book looks back to the past in order to resurface the great myths that nourished the reading experiences at the start of the modern world: myths filled with allure, both powerful and fragile; inexorably distant, they observe us with "a familiar glance."

Lecture | Character Traits: or, Can the Early Twentieth Century Please End?


The literature of early twentieth-century typographic industries presented a highly edited view of lettering history in support of their own products. The result was an historical sleight of hand that presented the period's technological and aesthetic presumptions as timeless fact. These late-Industrial aesthetics continue to exert a disproportionate influence on contemporary digital type design. In this talk, Russell Maret will attempt to tease out a different historical view of lettering, one that proposes that Industrial aesthetics should not be treated as the rule but the aberration in letter design. Along the way, he'll touch on related topics such as Is legibility worth it? Are digital letterforms type? and other hot-button issues.

Is imaginative writing of any consequence in the time of post-truth? Vásquez questions the impact of new technologies on our relationship to literature and considers the way literature shapes our moral and political landscape.

Lecture | Sugar, Slavery, and Plantation Space in 19th Century Cuba


Dr. Reynaldo Ortiz-Minaya will discuss the interconnections between social relationships, material processes of production, and visual economies of plantation life. The analysis looks at the ways in which the shift from local/regional to global levels of sugar production determined specific spatial reconfigurations of the plantation itself, the Island of Cuba, and more specifically the housing arrangements for slaves, i.e., from bohios to barracones. What is the relationship between the reconfiguration of space (both inside the plantation and on the Island of Cuba); the material processes of producing sugar (given its particularities as different from coffee, tobacco, or other commodities); and how do both of these factors interplay with the social relations of everyday life?

Blending memoir with historical research, Mikhal Dekel reveals a new Holocaust narrative: “one whose central image is not the concentration camp or the secret hiding place in the attic, but something much more disjointed: the constant fleeing from place to place, the shifting of allegiances and identity."

Lecture | Russian 20th Century Impressionism Through a Painter's Eye


Viktor Butko will introduce to you images of the important Russian Impressionists. It's a wonderful period to discover, with paintings full of life, light and bucolic simplicity. In particular, he will discuss the unique phenomenon of the Academic Dacha of Repin and the artists who created paintings there and went down in the history of Soviet art. Butko's grandfather, Viktor Chulovich was a first-ranked Social Realist and Viktor's first teacher. Butko also had the good fortune to study with the late Aleksei Gritsai. Viktor's is a story of coming of age in the end of the Soviet times, surrounded by the art of his forebears, their children and grandchildren. His unique life experience allows him to speak on artists that are of towering importance in Russia today, but hardly known on American soil. He will talk about the artists, not as an art historian but through the prism of his memories.
