SUMMARY:RCC Postdoc Seminar Talks: Limits of Representation: Methodologies to Address Challenges of Interdisciplinary Research Practices in Art, Film, and Technology
DESCRIPTION:<div>	<div>		Francisco Alarcon is an artist and engineer whose research interests lie at the intersection of visual arts and technology, with a focus on cultural techniques. His work spans across image-making, sculpture, installation, video, engineering, and other disciplines. During his presentation, Alarcon will give an overview of research methodologies in interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of arts and humanities with science and technology. <br><br>His research focus is on the material history of computer-generated graphics and how the interface informs the construction of cultural techniques. Alarcon is intrigued by the importance of the technical specificity of post-photographic image production in contemporary visual culture. Along with conducting theoretical research, Alarcon puts theory into practice with further development of his ongoing studio work.	</div>	<div>		 	</div>	<div style="text-align: center;">		<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="5972c177-3a08-408b-bab8-ad936b0fb07f" alt="falarcon"></drupal-media>	</div>	<div>		<br>Francisco holds an MDes in Art, Design and the Public Domain from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and an M.Arch. from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), where his thesis project, Innerscapes, won the prize for the best thesis.
