BDP Large Show TNO: The Astronomers w/ Adam Paddock

Thursday, April 11
8:00pm - 10:00pm
MSC Great Hall
Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

Blue Devil Productions is proud to present our Large Show of the semester: The Astronomers with Adam Paddock.

The Astronomers are the band you can't help but root for. Led by frontman Michael Stensland and producer Ben Baker, the duo boasts a dynamic and energy-filled performance that blends pop, rock, and electronic elements, resulting in a sound that's uniquely their own.

From opening for worldwide-known names such as Dua Lipa, Waka Flocka Flame & MAX, to selling out his debut headlining show (a venue upsize occurred, too), to selling out venues as an opener all within the past year, Adam Paddock's live show is something to write home about. Trumpets, electric guitar, bass, drums, and powerhouse vocals are the core of this act.

Philosophers' Café: Appropriation Art: The Case Against Andy Warhol

Wednesday, April 10
7:00pm - 8:30pm
Brewery Nonic
Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting. Our next meeting is April. 10th, 7pm, at Brewery Nā”œ©nic. The topic is "Appropriation Art: The Case Against Andy Warhol" and will be moderated by Dr. Cynthia Bland (Art History, UW-Stout) and Hon. Paul H. Anderson (retired, Minnesota Supreme Court Justice). Here is the abstract:

"In a 7-2 vote, the Supreme Court ruled in May of 2023 against the Andy Warhol Foundation and the artist's use of Lynn Goldsmith's photograph of Prince. The ruling delivered a blow to appropriation artists, determining that Warhol's work was not transformative and of the same essential nature as the original. Retired Justice Paul H. Anderson of the Minnesota Supreme Court will provide context for the ruling, while art historian Dr. Cynthia Bland will focus on the dissent, written by Justice Kagan, which argues that Warhol's work is "fair use" and not copyright infringement. Should the court determine the merit of artistic contributions, or should artists be set free to borrow, transform, and be inspired by original works?"

Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!

The Ethics of Personalized Digital Duplicates: A Principled Framework

Thursday, April 11
3:00pm - 4:15pm
Memorial Student Center (Oakwood)
Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

With new developments in generative AI, people are now creating digital duplicates of themselves and others to engage in a variety of tasks. In this paper, I develop a general framework for thinking about the ethics of digital duplicates. I start by clarifying the object of inquiry – digital duplicates themselves – defining them, giving examples, and justifying the focus on them rather than other kinds of artificial being. I then identify a set of generic harms and benefits associated with digital duplicates and use this as the basis for formulating a principle that stipulates the conditions that should be met in order for the creation and use of digital duplicates to be ethically permissible.

Dr. Danaher is Lecturer in Law at the University of Galway. His research focuses on the ethical, legal and social implications of new technologies. He maintains a blog called Philosophical Disquisitions, and produces a podcast with the same title. He also writes for the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.

This is an in person and virtual event. This event is sponsored by the Center for Applied Ethics and the Menard Center for the Study of Institutions and Innovations.

Refreshments will be available at MSC (Oakwood).
