Events

The exhibition Crafting Democracy: Fiber Arts and Activism debuted in Rochester, New York – home to Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass – along with an eponymous catalogue (RIT Press, 2019). Works by the 30 artists explored how handwork probes the vulnerabilities of citizenship status, while also working toward positive social change. Over the following two years, the exhibit traveled to four additional venues in the Northeast U.S., realizing opportunities for community, conversation, and critique.

For more than five decades, Bill and Jean Stephens have been partners in life and in Art. Their artwork and artistic processes have continued to evolve and expand. The style of Jean and Bills’ work differs widely, yet the work is highly influenced by the natural world around them. They met in the RIT Printmaking Studio in 1972, and both later earned their degrees in the RIT MST Arts Education Program. Continuum is their first exhibition together.

ChatGPT was launched in November 2022 and in just 2 short years the idea and functionality of Generative AI entered popular culture and the research environment. Though it was not intended as a research tool, users began using ChatGPT and similar tools for search and discovery. Information providers reacted by promising and sometimes pushing out AI enhancements into library databases. And just this past year GenAI tools like Perplexity and the new ChatGPT Search have taken off. Join Jennifer Freer, RIT's Business Librarian, to mark the anniversary of ChatGPT's launch and to get an overview of how the launch of this tool has impacted business research, and adjacent subjects, inside and outside of library databases. This presentation will reflect on GenAI developments over the past 2 years, what the library-meets-AI landscape look like now, and where GenAI and information seeking might be headed.
