*Subject: 20^th Image Week – Techno-cultural Audiovisualities*

**

The “Audiovisualities of Technoculture: Communication, Memory and Design 
(TCAv)” a research group, linked to the Graduate Program in 
Communication Sciences at the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos, a 
jesuit university from Brazil, is holding the 20th edition of Image Week 
from November 7th to 10th. This year, the event adopts the theme 
Techno-cultural Audiovisualities and will take place online and free of 
charge, from noon to 2 p.m. (USA Pacific Time), and can be watched 
through Zoom (see links below for registration).


The event, in its 20^th edition, will take place from November 7th to 
10th, will feature lectures by national and international communication 
researchers and short films from graduate alumni.

All remote, through Zoom webinar platform. Check links at the end.


The program begins with two round tables formed by international guests. 
On November 7th, we welcome Professor Dr. Peter Krapp (University of 
California Irvine) with the lecture "Is the internet a museum of 
computing?" and, on November 8th, Professor Dr. Lori Emerson (University 
of Colorado) with the lecture "Situated practices in the media 
archaelogy". Both lectures will have the mediation of professor Dr. 
Gustavo Fischer (Unisinos), currently a visiting scholar at UCI´s Film 
and Media Department.

Peter Krapp is Professor of Film and Media Studies at UCI and his major 
publications include "Medium cool" (2002), "Deja vu: Aberrations of 
cultural memory" (2004), "Noise channels: Glitch and error in digital 
culture" (2011) and "Handbook language - Culture - Communication" 
(2013). His research interests are cultural memory, history and theory 
of gadgets, games and simulations in film and digital representations. 
He is a partner of TCAv and has participated in Image Week in 2018 and 
2020. This time, he will question studies that show the internet as the 
most appropriate way to gather, consult, commemorate, and musealize what 
we know about computing.

Lori Emerson is a professor in the Department of English and director of 
the Arts, Writing, and Performance Program at the University of 
Colorado. Known for her work in media archaeology, digital preservation, 
and digital archives, she has authored ''Reading writing interfaces'' 
(2014) and co-authored ''The Lab Book: Situated practices in media 
studies'' (2022). This is her first appearance at Image Week, and during 
the event she will comment on her work as director and founder of Media 
Archaeology Lab, a museum dedicated to obsolete technologies produced 
since the 19th century.

On the 9th, Dr. Bruno Moreschi, will address the topic "Seeing and 
practicing computer vision", in which he will discuss the images that 
train machines and the processes and practices that make them feasible 
and unfeasible. There will be simultaneous interpretation for English 
speakers. Professor Dr. João Ricardo Bittencourt (Unisinos) will be in 
charge of the mediation.

Bruno Moreschi is an academic researcher and multidisciplinary artist. 
His investigations are related to experiences of diffusion and teaching 
of a more inclusive History of Art, besides the deconstruction of 
systems and the decoding of their procedures and social practices. He is 
currently conducting experiments in the field of Artificial 
Intelligence, in reverse engineering processes for the realization of 
expanded practices of institutional critique and studies on human layers 
present in the training and maintenance of contemporary digital 
infrastructures.

The last day of the event promotes the screening of the short films (in 
Portuguese) "É assim que eu me lembro", by Julherme Pires, and " Meu pai 
vestido de trabalhador", by Analu Favretto, both alumni from our 
Communications Graduate Program. After the screening of the movies, we 
will have the debate "From research to film" with its directors. 
Professor Tiago Ricciardi Correa Lopes (Unisinos) will mediate. Both 
short films are in portuguese and there will be no simultaneous 
interpretation on this final day.

With a doctorate and master's degree in Communication Sciences from 
Unisinos, Julherme Pires has professional and academic experience in the 
audiovisual and cultural fields. He has a bachelor's degree in 
Journalism and a specialist in Cinema and Audiovisual Direction from 
Unochapecó. On the 10th, Julherme will present the experimental film "É 
assim que eu me lembro" (This is how I remember), produced with image 
archives and developed from his thesis.

Analu Favretto has a degree in Cinema and Audiovisual from UFPel and a 
master's degree in Communication Sciences from Unisinos. Her interests 
surround technocultural issues, updates of rurality constructs and 
Brazilian short films. She has participated in film festivals with her 
own films. In the event, she will screen her short film "My father 
dressed as a worker", which deals with image, memory and archive.
