Videos to be screened include: How To Fix The World, an animation adapted from psychologist A.R. Luria’s research in Uzbekistan in the 1930s, bringing to life Luria's conversations with Central Asian farmers learning how to read and write under the unfamiliar principles of Socialism; Stranger Comes to Town, re-worked animations from the Department of Homeland Security --combined with stories from the border, impressions from the on-line game World of Warcraft, and journeys via Google Earth to tell a tale of bodies moving through lands familiar and strange; and The 100th Undone, a love letter of sorts to the individual in the age of biotechnical reproduction.

Jacqueline Goss makes videos and web-based works exploring the rules, histories, and tools of language and mapmaking systems. Her projects take as their source specific acts of writing and cartography that bring about cultural change, technological innovation, or create social narrative ruptures. For the last few years she has used 2D digital animation techniques to work within the genre of the animated documentary. A native of New Hampshire, Goss attended Brown University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She teaches in the Film and Electronic Arts Department at Bard College in the Hudson Valley of New York. http://www.jacquelinegoss.com
