This installation consists of ninety-six panels, of varying sizes any number of which can be assembled and reassembled in a multitude of ways. Initially, the individual panels were inspired by the rich visual imagery in Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium. This grew to include images from found sources like newspapers, encyclopedias or the Internet. The wood panels are drawn, painted and screen-printed. The panels exist as discrete entities that build sequentially to create meaning in the way words in a sentence or pages in a book create a narrative. But if the panels were pages of a book, they would be unbound and could be rearranged or discarded. Within this work is the potential to physically choose and arrange panels in a way that creates meaning for the viewer that is independent of the artist’s intentions. Someone arranging the panels can use all of them or just a few, leaving the remainder on shelves installed in the corner of the gallery.

UCSB Arts & Lectures presents disability rights advocate Eddie Ndopu delivering a FREE public lecture titled Sipping Dom Perignon Through a Straw: Reimagining Success as a Disabled Achiever on Thursday, November 2 at UCSB Campbell Hall.

“One of the most powerful disabled people on the planet (Time magazine),” Eddie Ndopu is an award-winning global humanitarian and disability justice advocate. Diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at age 2 and given only five years to live, he has gone on to become a beacon of hope and possibility for people with disabilities around the world. His debut memoir, Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw, captures his effervescent, indefatigable spirit. As a UN Global Changemaker, Ndopu actively demands equity for the world’s most marginalized segments of society and is a vital voice at the intersection of disability, sustainability and how we can best work together to make meaningful change for our planet’s future.

Road ecology is the study of how roads and other forms of transportation infrastructure affect nature

An eye-opening and witty account of the global ecological transformations wrought by roads, from the award-winning rauthor of Eager: The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter


Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience.
While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption .

In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roads

Despite the way the Internet connects us with vast quantities of music, 43% of all albums sold in the U.S. last year were vinyl LPS. Why is this? Why is it that, today, the disc record is the only physical audio format with increasing sales?

A panel of industry and audio experts explores the 130- year history of the disc record and explains why – despite frequent predictions of its demise- the format’s popularity continues to grow. Intertwined with their presentations are demonstrations of period phonographs and recordings that reflect the changing musical tastes and technology since the disc first appeared in the 1890s.

Panelists
Richard Martin – Co-owner, Producer, Engineer, Researcher/Writer, Archeophone, Records
Nick Bergh – Sound Restoration Expert and Found, Endpoint Audio Labs, Inc.
Patrick Feaster – Sound Media Historian: Lead Researcher, First Sounds Initiative

Moderator
Yuri Shimoda – Supervisor of Preservation Services, Warner Bros. Discovery

Presented by the UCSB Library as part of the Early Recordings Initiative (ERI). The ERI is focused on the acquisition, conservation, maintenance, digitization, and study of the earliest and rarest early sound recordings. These records are primarily brown way cylinders but also include other early formats.

Though originally taken for scientific purposes, the images of California native plants in a new exhibit at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s Gallery were photographed using a specialized technique that created dramatic portraits against a black background. “Depth of Field: Botanical Photography Through the Low-key Lens” features images taken over a period of fifty years by eight photographers using the “low-key” technique to document species in the field.

“Depth of Field” is on view in the Garden’s Pritzlaff Conservation Center Gallery daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through December 9, 2023, and is free with Garden admission. Reservations to visit the Garden are required and can be made by visiting www.sbbotanicgarden.org/visit/hours-reservations.
