Join us Monday, Nov. 9 for our first Humanities Workshop and Valhalla Social!

5:30pm in HUMA 327

Melissa Venator (Art History) will deliver a 30-minute presentation on her dissertation, Light Play: Light Art in 1920s Germany. Her project examines early machine art that used electric light as a new artistic medium. Her presentation focuses on Dada artist Raoul Hausmann’s optophone of 1921 whose photocell technology intersects with Albert Einstein’s particle theory of light, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in the same year.

Afterwards, we’ll head to Valhalla for some beer, wine, and snacks on us. Come out and support your colleagues in the humanities (and get some free beer, too)!
