About the speakers:
Chris Jordan's Albatross makes slow violence legible through traces-material residues, temporal marks, and perceptual impressions.
This presentation follows three linked fields of tracing. First, Midway Atoll appears as a landscape marked by Anthropocene intrusions, first military, then plastic trash. Second, albatross bodies emerge as living archives and corporal evidence of consumption-driven economy. Third, the film's durational aesthetics-long takes, still frames, and lingering gaze-cultivate habits of attention that render traces visible and ethically demanding.
Legal discrimination against Chinese people in the United States began in 1852, when California passed a tax on foreign gold miners that was explicitly designed to exploit Chinese labor. Over the next seventy years, officials in California, Oregon, Washington, and other western states instituted more than five thousand laws that marginalized and controlled their Chinese residents.
