Join us at a program with Claudia Arozqueta, author of Heartbeat Art, exploring the history of heartbeats, pulse, and technoscience in the work of a wide range of international artists and composers. She will be joined in conversation by MIT’s Behnaz Farahi.Heartbeat Art is the first study of how artists have engaged with heartbeats from the 1960s to the present, creating sophisticated and technological works that project in unique ways the circulatory processes of the body beyond its physical limits. Drawing on a long history of scientific and artistic experimentation, Claudia Arozqueta offers detailed case studies of heartbeat works by a wide range of international artists working at the interconnections of our bodies, art, and science and technology, including Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros, Heinz Mack, Brian O’Doherty, Teresa Burga, and many others.Copies of Heartbeat Art will be available for purchase and signing after the talk, courtesy of the MIT Press Bookstore.November 18 6pm - 7pm, followed by a book signing $5

Lucas Epp The Edward and Mary Allen Lecture in Structural Design Part of the MIT Fall 2024 Architecture Lecture Series. Presented with the Building Technology Group.Lucas is a structural engineer with more than 19 years of experience working in Canada, the UK, and New Zealand. After graduating from UBC, he spent several years working for StructureCraft, where he was responsible for modelling several large-scale timber projects including the 2010 Olympic Speed Skating Oval roof structure. Following a desire to explore abroad, he moved to London, UK for 5 years to work for Buro Happold. While there, he worked with some of the world's leading architects designing a range of projects including London's Olympic Stadium and a 300m (1000ft) tower in Kuwait. He then moved to New Zealand, working there on several seismically challenging projects for 2 years prior to returning to Canada.His expertise with complex geometry and challenging structures has led to involvement in projects where the close interaction of architecture and structure is critical to the success of the project. Lucas has been an invited speaker and guest lecturer at ETH Zurich, the Architectural Association in London, and MIT, among others.Lucas has had a lifelong exposure to timber, working at StructureCraft from a young age on the shop floor. He has since been involved in many of the company's signature projects, including the sweeping 200m (650 ft) long Arena Stage Theatre facade in Washington, DC and an 80m (265 ft) clear span footbridge in Banff, and now leads the engineering department at StructureCraft.This lecture will be held in person in Huntington Hall, 10-250 and streamed online.Lectures are free and open to the public.
