Quicktakes
• NYU Shanghai’s FaSta Choir gave their second public performance at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center on February 10th. The group of faculty and staff members performed as part of the Pudong New Area Chinese New Year’s Concert for Talents, alongside a lineup of professional singers and musicians. Under the leadership of Clinical Assistant Professor of Music Gabriel Song, the group performed two songs, “Wonderful Worlds” and “A Million Dreams,” in front of an audience of nearly 2,000 people.
• A week-long exhibition of Logico-Fantastic Machine, a media installation by Associate Arts Professor of Interactive Media Arts Stavros Didakis, brought machines to life—collaborating in real time to generate and evaluate visual and textual narratives. Kinetic structures scanned the gallery for contextual clues, feeding the system to create ever-evolving animated imagery, with text and voice, blurring the line between art and AI.
• Associate Arts Professor of Visual Arts Monika Lin and volunteers led an art workshop for facility staff, including campus security guards and cleaning and maintenance staff. Some of these staff members are part of an English skills program led by Community Engaged Learning and attended two art workshops with Professor Lin last semester, while others were participating for the first time.
