Laser Cutter Updates + FrIDeATe + Fall 2019 IDeATe Classes + TEDxCMU
Laser Cutter Update
As many of you are aware, the IDeATe laser cutters were temporarily shut down on March 24th so that we could update our safety policies and operations after some recent instances of fires. They are slowly coming back to life. Please head over to resources.ideate.cmu.edu to read all about it, including updated policies and hours of operation.
April FrIDeATe
Our next FrIDeATe event is coming up next Friday, April 5th at 4:30 p.m. in the IDeATe Fabrication Lab (Hunt Library A5, basement). A formal request was submitted for greater quantities of burritos. Therefore, there will be a bounty of burritos. Please come eat them. Event info is also available on facebook.com/CMUIDeATe.

Johannes DeYoung Exhibition at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts
School of Art/IDeATe faculty member Johannes DeYoung is currently participating in an exhibition at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibit, Immortal on Screen, explores anxieties of transformation and self-preservation in an epoch of rapid cultural and technological change. As increased virtualization of society erodes civic trust about what constitutes reality, artists in this exhibition question contemporary conditions of voyeuristic existence, scenarios of display, disappearance and virtual immortality, with artworks that look into debates and lamentations with self-presentation in cyber space. Pictured above is a still from DeYoung's contribution. More information is available at ntmofa.gov.tw.
