FREE Student Program: Kronos Quartet
Want to get your students thinking and talking about privacy in the digital age? How data is used and consumed, how it shapes our understanding of the world?
To get your students’ minds whirring, register for this FREE student musical performance and gallery program on October 24, 2018 (10:30am - 12:00pm). Open to students and teachers of all disciplines, 7th-12th grade.
To start the engagement, the Kronos Quartet will reflect on their collaboration with artist Trevor Paglen called Sight Machine.
The quartet will perform selected arrangements and students will be welcomed to pose their own wonderings during an open Q&A.
Finally, students and chaperones will get special, before-hours access to Paglen’s exhibition in SAAM’s third floor galleries. Through close looking and a self-paced set of activities, students will unearth and consider questions about ethics in the digital age posed by Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen.
To Register: Registration is required and space is limited. Please prepare for a 1-to-15 chaperone-to-student ratio. Please provide your school name, a total participant count, and the information of a primary point of contact at the link to me at DeinesE@si.edu. More about Sight Machine: This work is the collaboration between the world-renown Kronos Quartet and Trevor Paglen, a multi-disciplinary artist who combined machine learning and photography to explore the rise of computer vision. As the famed string quartet plays, artificial intelligence -- designed by the artist and tasked with “data-fying” this ethereal experience -- analyzes not only the music, but also the musicians’ faces.
