DESCRIPTION:In-person:\n\nIntroduction by filmmaker Asuka Lin. Q&A with fil
	mmakers Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman\, moderated by Public Programmer 
	Beandrea July.\n\n\nAdmission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat 
	will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Se
	ats are assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office open
	s one hour before the event.\n\nAfter years of use and misuse\, the techno
	logical materials we rely on to communicate become obsolete and are thrown
	 away to rot. This program imagines the post-tech era in which these disca
	rded materials take their own course\, at times seeking revenge against th
	eir creators. Toxic and deadly mining of coltan used to power lithium batt
	eries sets the scene in Neptune Frost. Core Dump — Dakar tracks the effect
	s on humans scavenging and melting minerals for resale\, and in A.I. Mama\
	, recycled scraps of tech are assembled to revive forgotten dreams. These 
	narratives surrounding postconsumer tech products shine a light on human e
	fforts to create\, control and destroy methods of communication.\n\nNotes
