The Filter Bubble with Eli Pariser

What is the Internet hiding from you?

Join Eli Pariser, former executive editor of MoveOn.org, for an eye-opening exposé of personal data-mining on the web. In this chilling account, the author of “The Filter Bubble: What the Internet is Hiding From You” explains how powerful business interests control the information the public can see online, while allowing others access to everything about consumers.

The Floating World


In Malashock Dance’s The Floating World, contemporary forms of music, dance and image-making draw inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e) to reveal what it takes to create a ‘façade of beauty’ in the arts today. Choreographer John Malashock and UCSD-based filmmaker/projection artist Tara Knight co-conceived the work, which includes a score by Bay Area ‘avant’ cellist Zoe Keating and costumes by fashion icon Zandra Rhodes.

The Floating World: 13 Views of the Dance Company on Tour premieres July 8 at 8pm.
