Cornell StudioLab's Comics, Posters PAR+D showcase returns for a second run in our Main Gallery & Library. The showcase will be on display 11/7 thru 11/15.
Comics, Posters, PAR&D features information comics and posters created by Cornell students in Jon McKenzie's First-year Writing Seminar. Students research and present issues from their own field of interest using a variety of media genres: journal articles, abstracts, proposals, annotated bibliographies, info comics, posters, Pecha Kucha presentations, conference panels, and now a design exhibition at MACRE. Combining old school and new school, students learn to mix argument and story, idea and image using forms of transmedia knowledge and strategic storytelling to tackle issues ranging from AI and griefbots to tariff wars and time travel. McKenzie's StudioLab pedagogy bridges expert and common knowledge to address the crisis of higher education in times of eco-anxiety, pandemics, culture wars, and economic uncertainties.

In addition... E of the ElectroZone will present a Synthesizer Petting Zoo in our PSP studio. This will be an assortment of synthesizers that participants can engage with first hand, learning not just about synthesis but also how it is applied in different synthesizers. E will be on hand to supervise the zoo and to explain features of the different synthesizers.

And lastly, our Incubator Artist, Jada Haynes will share work as a sneak peek into what she's incubating here at MACRE through early January.
