Fail-Safe: Los Angeles x Pittsburgh

Fail-Safe is a recurring variety performance show which brings together artists exploring performance across disciplines to present new experimental projects in early stages of development. Organized by Angela Washko, Scott Andrew, and Jesse Stiles, this fourth edition of Fail-Safe will create a dialogue about performance between Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. Fail-Safe: Los Angeles x Pittsburgh comprises two evenings of new and in-progress performance works by interdisciplinary musicians, performance artists, and dancers from these two cities. On both evenings, visiting artists will be preceded by a lineup of Pittsburgh-based artists whose practices share affinities.

Flavors of HCI with the User Experience Association

Join the User Experience Association (UXA) November 12-13 for their biggest event in the fall: Flavors of HCI.

UXA hopes to bring awareness of the incredible diversity of areas with HCI among undergrads in their early stages of exploring HCI. Flavors of HCI is a perfect opportunity for undergrads to connect with enthusiastic and inspiring Ph.D. students at HCII through a "tasting menu" around five topics: Human-AI Interactions, Social studies in HCI, Technical studies in HCI, Accessibility, and Critical/Cultural Approaches in HCI.
