Jointly hosted by OCAD University, the University of Toronto, Ryerson University and York University, CRAM featured 30+ interactive and entertaining events across the GTA. Visitors to OCAD had the opportunity to enjoy the following sessions: · Hey Autonomous Vehicle – Can You Tell Me About Yourself? – Assistant Professor Sowmya Somanath · Here Today, Here Tomorrow: Reversing Our Throwaway Culture – Assistant Professor Michele Mastroeni · Will Our Future Be A+? Avatars, Agents and Adaptive A.I. Assistants – Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Internet of Things, Alexis Morris · Communities on the Move: Finding a Sense of Place in the City – Assistant Professor James Miller · Can I Feel What You See?

VP MESSAGE New models of research space sharing A message from Dr. Robert Luke, VPRI: With spring comes news of recent grant recipients, and as you have seen elsewhere in this newsletter we are excited to be announcing recipients of funding for research at the University. Congratulations to all who have been successful! Congratulations also to those who applied for research funding. Applying is important as through this process we get to learn more about projects and to further develop them through iteration. The University has over the past decade+ built considerable research infrastructure, from faculty pursuing research through to centres, studios and labs that house specific projects and programs of work. With the growth in University research over the past several years we now face constraints on research space. This is in fact a good problem to have, as it means there are more faculty conducting research and creative practice and being successful at obtaining external funding to support these activities. Over the past two years the Research Office, in concert with the Research Committee, has conducted the Research Space Allocation Project, including numerous consultations with the OCAD University community on how we can best manage access to research space for a growing number of research­ active faculty. This effort has resulted in new models of research space sharing. Effective 1 June 2019 all research space at the University will be considered shared use. A regular process will be used to allocate research space as per the criteria developed through the Research Space consultations. The form that will be used for application for research space as well as the Assessment Criteria were both included in the memo sent to all University faculty on 16 April 2019. New research space allocation will include dedicated space for Research, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity & Inclusion. This project is working to create a more supportive and inclusive research environment for all equity­seeking groups, including Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, people with disabilities, women, the neurodiverse, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, and 2­Spirit. The project is jointly led by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Sustainability Initiatives and the Research Office, and is building on the work to date by the Presidential Task Force on the Under­Representation of Racialized and Indigenous Faculty and Staff. Stay tuned for further updates. I wish you all a happy spring, now that the sun shines warmer. RESEARCH NEWS Dr. Alexis Morris Interviewed on CBC Spark Assistant Professor Alexis Morris, director of ACE Lab and Canada Research Chair in the Internet of Things, has been featured in an interview with CBC Radio's Spark, hosted by Nora Young.

Dr. Bill Leeming and Dr. Selmin Kara deliver sabbatical talks On March 26, 2019, Dr. Bill Leeming and Dr. Selmin Kara delivered sabbaticcal talks in RHA 320. Dr. Leeming's talk, titled "Extending the Meaning of ‘Genetic’ in Medicine in Canada and Mexico to include ‘Related to Chromosomes and Genes,’” describes research performed during his 2016­ 2017 sabbatical, including collaborative work with Dr. Ana Barahona of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The talk explored how medico­scientific reporting of chromosomal anomalies using karyotype cytogenetics permitted scientists in a wide range of fields to manipulate and extend the meaning of “genetic” in medicine from “heredity” to include “related to chromosomes and genes.” Dr. Kara's talk from her recent sabbatical, titled "Cinematic Life in the Anthropocene", tracks ways in which 21st century film has responded to the question of life in the

    OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates: Michelle Astrug (Faculty of Design) Michelle Astrug is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Design, teaching in Graphic Design. She is applying for senate because she is interested in actively participating in University governance. Claire Brunet (Faculty of Art) Claire Brunet is a sculptor and Associate Professor in Media and installation art; Sculpture/Installation program and Fabrication Studio Bronze Casting and Digital Processes at OCAD University in Toronto. In June 2014 Brunet completed a PhD degree in Fine Arts, in the Interdisciplinary Program (INDI) at Concordia University in Montreal. Her research work explores expanded spatial boundaries and the influence of a 3D digital and technological context on the artist’s creative process in sculpture practice. Brunet’s sculpture project proposes opposing temporal forces—a 3D digital and technological spatial approach as a mode of production, in opposition to a critical discourse in regard to living species and their relation to their natural environment—which stresses the opposing values of an hypermodern society (Lipovetsky 2005). Brunet has presented projects and papers at conferences in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Canada. Her publications include: Exploring Data Space, in The Faculty of Art Newsletter (OCAD U, Toronto, 2012); “Extending Spatial Boundaries Through Sculpture Practices: Exploring Natural and 3D Technological Environments” in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (Illinois: CG Publishing, 2012); McLuhan and Extended Environment: Affect and Effect of a 3D Digital Medium on Sculpture Practice, in Y.

  • Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada?
    College Quarterly Winter 2013 - Volume 16 Number 1 (../index.html) Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada? Home By Reiko (Leiko) Shimizu (../index.html) Studio-based degrees in fine arts and design are not often written Contents about in higher education literature. Perhaps it is because art and design (index.html) education is misunderstood – students are viewed as “finding themselves” or have unrealistic dreams of becoming the next big artist. Perhaps the studio-based nature of the curriculum does not intrigue researchers to write about issues that concern it, or perhaps it is because anyone can call themself an artist without having an academic credential. Ten years ago, urban theorist Richard Florida coined the term the “creative class” as individuals who “do a wide variety of work in a wide variety of industries – from technology to entertainment, journalism to finance, high- end manufacturing to the arts….they share a common ethos that values creativity, individuality, difference, and merit” (Florida, 2002, para. 8). According to Florida the creative class helps build economic development; therefore, our cities should be nurtured to be more inviting to these types of individuals. This emphasis on culture and creativity is at the foundation of art and design education. Groys (2009) argues that art education is complicated and subjective; it ultimately has no rules and that “teaching art means teaching life” (as cited in Madoff, 2009, p. 27). If that is the case, how does one measure quality in a field that is viewed as so subjective? How does one define and value art and design education? One’s notion of good art and design can be vastly different from another’s, and both views may come from experts in the field.
