At 12.00-13.30 Thursday August 25th, Annie Danis will give a Visual Wednesday/ research seminar on her project at the Albany Bulb, a contested former landfill site (on-going), and on the exhibition and performance Hyperloop (or) round holes (2014), as well as the composition Not Seen / Seen (2015). Annie Danis works at the intersection of art and archaeology to explore sensory engagement and performance as method. Her work includes community-engaged archeological fieldwork, research, and performance, exploring the relationship of objects, people, landscape, and history in the American West. This guides her use of GIS, spatial visualization, and database technologies, as well as public archaeology as an artistic practice, to produce self-reflexive, inclusive scholarly works. Annie Danis is a Berkeley Graduate Fellow of archaeology in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, and heading the Experimental Ethnographies Townsend Working Group, which works across faculty and graduate students.
