Join us at DataX as Daniel Scott Snelson presents a book talk on his recently published The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats (University of Minnesota Press, 2025). Snelson explores how digital archives dramatically transform the artifacts they host and how these transformations might help us better understand our own private collections in turn. He develops creative tools and contingent methods for reading cultural data, whether found in public-facing repositories on the internet or in our own collections of TXT, JPG, MP3, and MOV artifacts. Within and beyond the project, experimental poetic interludes give readers practical entry points into the creative practice of producing new meanings in any given little database. Inventive and interdisciplinary, The Little Database grapples with the digitized afterlives of cultural objects, playing with the way in which the past is continually reconfigured to shape the present. Light refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by: DataX, The Livescu Initiative on Neuro, Narrative and AI (NNAI), Program in Digital Humanities, and Text/Tech Lab.

Always for Pleasure U.S., 1978 On the streets and porches, in the living rooms and the kitchens of New Orleans, documentarian Les Blank observes an American city like no other. As one of his subjects puts it, “It’s the last place in America that you feel just sort of free to live.” A graduate of Tulane University, Blank acknowledges the complexity of the city’s history in that regard which deepens its scenes of jubilant celebrations brimming with life, from St. Patrick’s Day to Mardi Gras where red beans and rice and Cajun seasoned crawdads are consumed with copious amounts of beer. 16mm, color, 58 min.

With raucous, three-chord cinematic bangers such as My Degeneration (1989), Terminal USA (1993) and Mod Fuck Explosion (1994), the Godfather of Punk Cinema, filmmaker Jon Moritsugu, defined the trashy, rough-hewn DIY aesthetic of 1990s underground filmmaking. The Archive is thrilled to welcome Moritsugu back to the Billy Wilder Theater for the world theatrical premiere of Numbskull Revolution, his first feature in over a decade, created with longtime collaborator and ex-wife, Amy Davis. She and James Duval play a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Shitville, Earth. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber drug called Skullfuck. Ingenious production design and savvy location shooting evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which Mortisugu frames this scathing satire of art world pretension.

A radical thinker and cornerstone of Black liberation movements, Boggs — who died in 2015 at age 100 — transformed abstract philosophy into community action.
