PROGRAM

This evening will feature 3 presentations:

* Doga Cavdir (Stanford CCRMA) on "Movement-based Music-making"
* Jerold Chun (Sanford Burnham Prebys) on "Our Genomically Mosaic Brain"
* Kris Paulsen (Ohio State Univ) on "TBA"

Doga Buse Cavdir, a doctoral student at Stanford’s CCRMA, is an artist, 
designer, and researcher whose work integrates body movement and 
expression into music performance. Her artistic process actively engages 
with kinesthetic, immersive, and shared experiences for inclusivity as a 
way to bridge diverse abilities. Doga performs with her custom-made 
instruments solo, in collaboration with dancers, and in an 
interdisciplinary female-identifying artist group fff.

Jerold Chun is Professor, Senior Vice President, and Director of 
Translational Neuroscience at Sanford Burnham Prebys (SBP) Medical 
Discovery Institute in La Jolla, CA where he conducts basic and 
translational research, and oversees development of neuroscience programs 
having commercial and/or philanthropic potential.   He has made important 
scientific contributions including the discovery of genomic mosaicism and 
somatic gene recombination in the brain.

Kris Paulsen is a specialist in contemporary art, with a focus on 
time-based and computational media. Her work traces the history of 
technology in the arts from photography to new media, with a particular 
emphasis on telepresence, virtuality, interface studies, and early video 
art. She published the book Here/There: Telepresence, Touch, and Art at 
the Interface (2017) .
