LIQUID GOLD There is perhaps no other American photographer more iconic than Ansel Adams—after all, the revered California native did capture some of this country’s most spectacular natural wonders on film for future generations to enjoy. Water—from clouds and fog to rivers and oceans to snow and ice— figured prominently in much of his work, which is the premise behind the exhibit Ansel Adams: At the Water’s Edge at the Peabody Essex Museum (refer to listing, page 26) in Salem. The show features more than 100 images, including gorgeous pictures of Adams’ beloved Yosemite National Park. New England’s coast is well-represented as well, and there’s even a handful of rare, mural-sized prints on display. No matter the size, these stunning photographs have the power to not only transport viewers physically but emotionally, just as Adams intended. —Scott Roberto ABOVE PHOTO: ANSEL ADAMS, THE TETONS AND THE SNAKE RIVER, GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING, 1942; COLLECTION CENTER FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY, THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA; ©2011 THE ANSEL ADAMS PUBLISHING RIGHTS TRUST WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT BURGER BLISS 6.25.12 When it comes to earth-conscious eateries, it’s hard to do better than Four Burgers (704 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-441-5444). As one of the leading forces in the locally sourced food craze, owner Michael Bissanti proves that Four Burgers is truly a cut above the rest. Meats and produce are shipped in from the highest-quality farms around the northeast, providing guests with beef and turkey that is all-natural, grass-fed and hormone-free. Four Burgers offers a healthy alternative to run-of-the-mill fast food, without skimping on flavor or quality. Not in the mood for meat? Try the wild Alaskan salmon burger with Asian soy slaw or the vegan black bean burger topped with handmade mango barbecue sauce, both of which have customers raving. —Kiana Sarabia Strayhorn 6 PANORAMA HUBBUB BOTTOM PHOTO: ZE SHENG LIANG ON TOP Top of the Hub (800 Boylston St., 52nd floor, 617-536-1775), one of Boston’s most elegant and breathtaking dining spots, hosts its annual Independence Day celebration on July 4. The special occasion begins at 7 p.m. with a complimentary chef’s welcome reception, including hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. At 8 p.m., guests are treated to a five-course dinner while being entertained by a simulcast of the Boston Pops concert from the Hatch Shell. The festivities round out with a viewing of the fireworks spectacular over the Charles River at 10:30 p.m. from the 52nd floor of the Prudential Tower where this beautiful restaurant resides. The price is a splurge at $225 per person, but the memory of such an enchanting evening is no less than priceless. —Samantha House HARBORSIDE HAVEN Aragosta Bar + Bistro (3 Battery Wharf, 617-994-9001) at the luxurious Fairmont Battery Wharf Hotel provides a coastal haven by offering fine Italian fare mixed with a splash of New England’s seaside bounty. Upon entering, the wrap-around bar and chef’s counter welcome all who wish to watch the kitchen work its magic. Walk through the dining room to the outdoor terrace and it’s clear why Aragosta was named “Best Outdoor Dining 2012” by Boston Open Table. Not only are clientele treated to an awe-inspiring view of Boston Harbor, but two year-round fire pits allow them to sit in a communal setting and cook up sweet treats such as s’mores. Don’t forget to try some of Aragosta’s specialty seasonal cocktails while you’re there—the smoked watermelon daiquiri is a fruity highlight. —Benjamin Lindsay WHAT A GEM The much-anticipate hotspot Emerald Lounge (Revere Hotel, 200 Stuart St., 617-482-1800) threw open its doors this June to an already- devoted following. The 6,000 square foot space boasts a brushed metal tornado sculpture, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, a two-tier patio and a sophisticated lighting system. The jewel of the Revere Hotel is bathed in green and offers well-crafted specialty drinks and utensil-free small plates such as duck spring rolls and oyster shooters. There’s a rumor of a hidden VIP room called the Ruby Lounge, but you won’t have a yellow brick road to help you find it—only special guests get the guided tour. —Samantha House BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 A 4TH THAT POPS! BOSTON POPS FIRE- WORKS SPECTACULAR DCR Hatch Shell, Charles River Esplanade, July 4 from 8:30–11 p.m., july4th.org IN 1973, THE ESPLANADE CONCERT series, which had been ongoing since 1929, saw diminishing attendance and needed a boost. Boston businessman David Mugar suggested playing Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture with a few extra surprises. Because of Mugar’s suggestion, the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular would become one of the most anticipated and celebrated events in Boston. Howitzer cannons, fireworks and church bells were added to the concert so that, in Arthur Fiedler’s words, “All Hell could break loose.” For the first time, a July Fourth fireworks display took place over the Charles Emmy Award-winner Michael Chiklis returns River, and almost 40 years later the tradition as host.

    Press Advisory Contact Josie Patterson 617-253-4422, [email protected] Press Images - PDF MIT Museum Announces New Exhibition of Holograms and the 9th International Symposium on Display Holography CAMBRIDGE, MA - The MIT Museum announces the opening on June 27, 2012 of The Jeweled Net: Views of Contemporary Holography, an exhibition created in conjunction with the 9th International Symposium on Display Holography, co-sponsored by the MIT Museum and the MIT Media Lab. Over 20 holograms created by international artists, as well as several from the MIT Museum collections, will be on display, and will remain open to the public through September 28, 2013. The exhibition presents a rare opportunity to view selected works from the world-wide community of practicing display holographers. The MIT Museum holds the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of holograms and regularly invites artists to showcase new work at the Museum. "This new exhibition is an example of our expanded commitment to support public engagement with practicing artists through exhibitions and programs," says Seth Riskin, who will give talks and tours throughout the coming year in his role as the MIT Museum’s Manager of Emerging Technologies and Holography/Spatial Imaging Initiatives. The Jeweled Net: Views of Contemporary Holography surveys state-of-the-art display holography, and showcases the artistic and technical merit of individual works of art. Selected by a panel of experts, the holograms on display represent artists from Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the US. Holography has given birth to a new field of science during the past six decades, and as well, to a group of 'pioneers' who have found a new media upon which human vision in three dimensions is transferred.

    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Cybernetic Apparatus: Media, Liberalism, and the Reform of the Human Sciences A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Screen Cultures By Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2012 2 © Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan All rights reserved 3 Abstract The Cybernetic Apparatus: Media, Liberalism, and the Reform of the Human Sciences Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan The Cybernetic Apparatus: Media, Liberalism, and the Reform of the Human Sciences examines efforts to reform the human sciences through new forms of technical media. It demonstrates how nineteenth-century political ideals shaped mid-twentieth-century programs for cybernetic research and global science sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation. Through archival research and textual analysis, it reconstructs how and why new media, especially digital technologies, were understood as part of a neutral and impartial apparatus for transcending disciplinary, ethnic, regional, and economic differences. The result is a new account of the role of new media technologies in facilitating international and interdisciplinary collaboration (and critique) in the latter half of the twentieth century. Chapter one examines how political conceptions of communications and technology in the United States in the nineteenth century conditioned the understanding and deployment of media in the twentieth century, arguing that American liberals conceived of technical media as part of a neutral apparatus for overcoming ethnic, geographic, and economic difference in the rapidly expanding nation. Chapter two examines the development of new media instruments as technologies for reforming the natural and human sciences from the 1910s through the 1940s, with particular attention to programs administered by the Rockefeller Foundation.

The exhibition will premiere on • May 15,1988, at die AIA National Convention | and Design Exposition in New York City before traveling nationwide during its three-year tour. The American Institute of Architects, founded in 1857, is a voluntary not-for-profit member- i ship organization representing more than 54,000 architects and architectural profession- i als in nearly 300 state societies and local chapters stretching from Maine to Guam.

"I cannot, in whole conscience, recommend architecture as a profession for girls. I know some women who have done well at it, but the obstacles are so great that it takes an exceptional girl to make a go of it. If she insisted on becoming an architect, I would try to dissuade her.
