Date: Friday, November 02, 2012

Time: Lunch at 11:30am. Talk begins at 12:00pm.

Presenters: Professor Laura Wexler and Trip Kirkpatrick

Description: In the spring semester of 2012, Professor Laura Wexler (AMST) expanded her use of the Yale University Art Gallery’s study gallery by collaborating with David Odo (YUAG) and Trip Kirkpatrick (ITG) on a kiosk installation within the study gallery. This kiosk, containing a computer, a large touchscreen panel, and speakers, presented visitors with audio from students in Professor Wexler’s graduate seminar, and Professor Wexler herself, discussing the photographs used in the course and the approaches covered in the course. Come hear about the pedagogy, the technology, and the project management needed to mount this uncommon example of public student scholarship in just over a month.
