Karl Staven: February 12, 2007
Take a trip through a world of shadows marching across bricks, rival gangs of dolls vying for dominance, and jazz bands trekking through the underworld. For over 20 years, filmmaker Karl Staven has experimented with everything from time-lapse photography to cutout animation and even manipulated 16mm live action footage in his animated shorts.
Join this award-winning artist for an evening of surreal and engaging animation at the Fine Arts Theater on Biltmore Ave. The film begins at 7:00 pm, and is $5 for the general public and free to WCU and UNCA students with ID.

Asheville is the regional hub for technology, high performance computing, weather and climate
data, GIS expertise, industry, and education, and multi-media arts - forming a strong culture focused on the the growing field of applied
visualization. This is the third annual conference, building on the successes of Quarks to Quasars in 2004 and AppliedVis 2005.
Be a part of this rapidly growing field by joining us for AppliedVis 2006.
Applied visualization is the use of
computer-based technologies that make large amounts of information more understandable by combining the results of data analysis, computing
models, interactive technologies, display technologies, and narrative development. The results provide people from all sectors (including
community planners, scientists, media professionals, engineers, educators, artists, designers, and business people) the ability to communicate
complex ideas in ways that are easily understandable to a wide variety of audiences. Primary applications include weather forecasting,
environmental modeling, urban planning, science communication, financial models and medical analysis.

Beginning Saturday, November 4th, the Flood Fine Art Center in Asheville, NC, will present new work by artist Lorraine Walsh. On exhibit will be digital prints and motion media exploring nature and perception. In this work, Walsh creates landscapes inspired by diverse forms, utilizing various species of butterflies and other insects. This new work also expresses subtle references to warfare, hence the title of the exhibition, Fly Zones.
Lorraine Walsh is a digital media artist living in Asheville, NC. She traded the asphalt of NYC for the verdant hills of Western North Carolina, ostensibly to find more bugs. She is Director and Assistant Professor of Multimedia Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Walsh's work addresses ideas related to science and nature in contemporary society. She exhibits her work and lectures nationally and internationally.
