► Sam Lavigne (Assistant Professor in the Department of Design at UT Austin) is an artist and educator whose work deals with data, surveillance, cops, natural language processing, and automation.

► New Circadia is a collaboration between Richard Sommer (Professor of Architecture, University of Toronto), and Natalie Fizer (Parsons New School) and Emily Stevenson of the design team Pillow Culture.

Their recent co-curated exhibition Adventures in Mental Spelunking was inspired by Nathaniel Kleitman’s sleep experiments in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky to rethink the roles of daydreaming, sleep, and repose in contemporary design and architecture.

► Moderated by Curator and SoS Postdoctoral Fellow Erandy Vergara!
