Join Peter Loge, a political veteran and director of the Project on Ethics in Political Communication as he discusses how AI is being used in political campaigns today, and how it might be used in the future. Loge will highlight that American politics has been full of half-truths and fabrications from the beginning – including Ben Franklin making up fake news to promote the Revolution, the Hudson River School painters creating “composite” scenes of the American West, William Randolph Hearst reportedly telling an illustrator “You furnish the pictures. I’ll furnish the war,” and beyond. Peter will suggest that AI and all that has come before it gets to a question Plato raised about the connection between persuasion, ethics and truth – a question we have never really answered.

Peter Loge is an associate professor and director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at the George Washington University, the director of the Project on Ethics in Political Communication and a senior fellow at the Agirre Lehendakaria Center in Bilbao. Over his 30+ year career, Peter has served in senior staff positions in the US House, Senate and administration. Over that time, he has also advised, led and helped lead a range of national and international advocacy campaigns and organizations. Peter lectures on political communication and ethics around the US and in the Basque Country and is regularly quoted in national and international media.

Join Rosie Trump, Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Nevada, Reno and Founder of Future Moves, as she discusses screendance as a dynamic art form.

Rosie Trump is an award-winning filmmaker and the founder and chief curator of the Third Coast Dance Film Festival. She is interested in the momentum of action. Feminist and deliberately minimal, her work examines the tension between the ordinary and the absurd.

She is a regular guest curator for Frame X Frame Dance Film Fest in Houston, TX.

Recent awards include a Puffin Foundation Grant for her film “Try to Keep Up”, an Atlantic Center for the Arts residency, a jury award from the Constructed Sight Festival, and grants from the Nevada Arts Council. Rosie is an Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The galleries will close at 5 pm and the Shop will close at 6 pm today.

The film Kurtal: Snake Spirit tells the story of Spider, a sprightly 80– year– old Aboriginal elder, who travels from Fitzroy Crossing into the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia. Dialogue with Apsara DiQuinzio, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, to follow the screening.
