What stories do coins carry beyond their economic value? In this online program, Ex-Change co-curator Carlee S. Forbes is joined by Professor Andrew Apter of UCLA Departments of History and Anthropology for a conversation about the role of coins, tokens, and counters in African cultural and ritual systems. Drawing on the Fowler’s African collections and Apter’s scholarship on Yoruba ritual economies, the discussion will explore coins as conduits of memory, belief, and power. These objects transcend monetary function as they participate in spiritual, aesthetic, and historical narratives. Together, Forbes and Apter will consider how these small, everyday forms reflect vast networks of exchange, colonial histories, and symbolic meanings across time.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Colin Allen, Distinguished Professor in the department of philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara Drawing on interviews and other work that is being done for a book about the history and philosophy of "mathematical psychology,” Colin Allen will characterize mathematical psychologists as a self-identified community within psychology, united by their approach to mathematical modeling, mentoring lineages and institutional structures such as a journal, and societies on three continents organizing conferences and summer schools. Mathematical psychologists have recently been vocal about the need for psychology to move in a more mathematical direction, inspired partly by the so-called “replication crisis” which many of them believe is actually a “theory crisis.” In this talk, Allen will at the arguments of three prominent mathematical psychologists and argue that while mathematical psychology does not lack small “t” theories, it has been arguably less successful in formulating big “T" Theories that have the kind of scope, generality, and predictive power that led Wigner to write of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in physics. This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served.

California hosts over 1,600 native bee species, making it one of the world's most biodiverse regions. But our native bees—as distinct from honey bees—risk extinction from climate change and habitat loss. In her new book, The ABCs of California’s Native Bees, Hickman describes 26 critical bee species—from the Agile Longhorn Bee to the Zone-tailed Banded-Mining Bee—through stunning photography and expert insights on identification, habitats, and conservation. A conversation with Michelle Fullner, host of the popular Golden State Naturalist podcast, and a book signing follows the talk.

The box office opens one hour before the event. A selection from the Hearst Metrotone News Collections of early conceptions of automation and “robots” in the home, office and night club will play interspersed throughout the program. Latencies of the Statistical Image Catalunya, 2024 The essay explores the genealogies that link today’s computer vision and artificial intelligence imaging systems to 19th-century scientific research's use of photography. Using the work of Étienne-Jules Marey and Francis Galton as case studies, the essay encourages an analysis of the latencies or cultural mutations manifest in the operative images of both periods.—Roc Albalat DCP, color, 9 min. Director: Roc Albalat. The Twilight Zone: “From Agnes — With Love” U.S., 2/14/1964 A simple task for a computer engineer becomes an all-encompassing problem when emotions get involved in this tale of man vs. technology.—Programming Coordinator Nicole Ucedo DCP, b&w, 25 min. CBS/Cayuga. Producers: William Froug, Rod Serling. Director: Richard Donner. Writer: Bernard C. Schoenfeld. With: Wally Cox, Ralph Taeger, Sue Randall. Fembot in a Red Dress U.S., 2015 Fembot in a Red Dress analyzes the cultural trope of the “lady in red” as it evolved from the genre of film noir to science fiction and from the human to the artificial female in a variety of film and television texts. Through juxtaposed sequences of fembots, “ladies in red,” and a combination of the two, the work attempts to mine the potential of the “critical supercut” not only for laying bare gendered patterns of representation, but also for uncovering subtle variations in meaning across cinematic texts and contexts.—Allison de Fren DCP, color, 13 min. Director: Allison de Fren. Not Exactly a Still Life Switzerland, 2024 Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo is a film about the drive to repeat and reproduce lost things, and the failure to do so. What would it mean to repeat the images of this repetitious film with the help of AI — but as disturbing (failed) dreams rather than an exact replica? We begin to imagine a new film within the one we know. AI gives us back the history of cinema — as an uncanny double.—Johannes Binotto DCP, color, 4 min. Director: Johannes Binotto. Toute la data du monde Switzerland, 2025 An experimental short essay film that reimagines Alain Resnais’ iconic 1956 essay film Toute la mémoire du monde (1956) for the AI age. Resnais’ film, on the surface a documentary portrait of the National Library of France, has commonly been understood as a meditation on the crisis of memory, knowledge and ethics after the horrors of World War II. Toute la data du monde takes some of Resnais’ images and questions as inspiration and applies them to this new current crisis of memory, knowledge and archivization in the age of AI. Through surreal, meditative and entirely AI-generated images, it suggests what the libraries of artificial intelligence and data might look like.—Evelyn Kreutzer DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 4 min. Director: Evelyn Kreutzer Afterlives (excerpt) Germany/Belgium/France, 2025 Afterlives is a desktop documentary that critically engages with the historical and digital traces of extremist propaganda, questioning how images of violence circulate, mutate and persist. This excerpt explores how online platforms, including generative AI models, facilitate the disappearance and reappearance of extremist media.—Kevin B. Lee DCP, color, 7 min. Director: Kevin B. Lee.

Part slam poem, part manifesto, their searing group piece “Listen Asshole” was born of frustration and a desire to “shatter stereotypes of Asian American women as passive, quiet, and demure,” and earned a standing ovation for its unapologetic anger, sharp wit and fierce reclamation of voice. Hosted by rapper Mos Def, the first season of Def Poetry Jam was taped at New York City’s Supper Club. DCP, color, 5 min. Director: With: Michelle Myers, Catzie Vilayphonh.
