I love to speak in public and last year was fortunate to have been invited to give four talks. Hoping that this trend will continue, I am now sharing and posting details of each event here on my website in the new section called “Talks” (you can see it on the menu on the left.)
In case you weren’t able to attend, here is the video of my presentation at last year’s Ignite NYC VI evening:
In case you missed the actual presentation!
dorkbot-nyc, 02 December 2009 — Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo: The Moments Between Still & Moving from Dorkbot on Vimeo.
I’m speaking at Dorkbot NYC tonight, so swing by if you get a chance! Below are the details and the lineup.
Dorkbot Meeting
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
7pm
Location One in SoHo – 26 Greene St.
Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo: The Moments Between Still & Moving
Photography is traditionally considered a medium that pauses time. In her recent artwork, Lawson Jaramillo positions photography as a media art by developing bodies of work that use it to extend and challenge our traditional notions of space and time. At dorkbot-nyc she will present her digitally and physically layered photographs and will focus on her recent experiments with extremely slow moving videos and coded generative image-based works. www.cynthialawson.com
Arno Klein: Brain Labeling
I will present examples of how and why people label brain images, from painstaking, manual labeling of human brain MRI data to fully automated labeling algorithms. I will also give a preview of a new NIH-funded project that will manually label 1,000 brain images and borrow a strategy from face recognition to serve as the brains underlying a new fully automated brain labeling software program called Mindboggle. http://www.binarybottle.com
David Birchfield: Gamebot
In the GameBot exhibition at the Arizona Science Center, humans and robots to come together for interactive game-play that explores the social, technological, and sustainability dimensions of robotics. Teams of artists, game-designers and scientists from Arizona and beyond have collaborated to create three new GameBot pieces that were unveiled at the exhibition.

I was invited to speak tonight at the Ignite NYC event as part of Yahoo’s Open Hack NYC Developer Conference. Here’s a brief description of the talk and I’ve included the PowerPoint presentation below:
Since 2007 I have been involved in an ongoing project through Parsons and The New School in which faculty travel to Guatemala each summer with teams of students to help small Mayan women’s artisan associations to create sustainable income-generating businesses through the sale of their products in global markets. In this talk I will focus on how my work in one of the towns, San Lucas Tolimán, has been an invitation to slow down, to reconsider my spatial frameworks, and particularly, to question and challenge the good & the bad in our highly mediated networks.
I’ll be presenting in that insane 5-minutes-20-slides-with-15-second-auto-advance format (aka Pecha Kucha) and it seems to be a great lineup of presenters! I’ll post a link to the video once it’s up. To attend, you can find all the details here (no need to RSVP.)
