February InfoMaintainers meeting: featuring Elisabeth Nicula!

[Jordan Hale]

Hi, Maintainers of all stripes! Happy Friday to you all.

I’m delighted to announce that our next community call will feature Elisabeth Nicula, an interdisciplinary artist whose recent work befriending and documenting a neighbourhood scrub jay named Frank yielded a corpus of tens of thousands of digital photographs, videos, and feathers summarizing their friendship and Frank’s life. As a birdwatcher who manages digital repositories, I was so curious to know: how do you keep Frank’s life in order? Of course, Elisabeth has been a practising studio artist long before her focus turned to birds—so we’re going to have a conversation about how she maintains her physical and digital practices, and we might get to meet some of her neighbourhood animal friends.

Friday, February 19 at 11:00 am–12:00 pm EST

Sign up on Eventbrite here!

Cheers,

Jordan
