SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Movies Even an Engineer Would Love: Stories About Culture and Technology “The Tailenders” "
DESCRIPTION:"\rEngineering and Technology Studies at Illinois\rProgram in Science and Technology Studies\rMovies Even an Engineer Would Love: Stories About Culture and Technology\r\r\"The Tailenders\"\r(Adele Horne, 2005, 72 min.)\rFilmed in the Solomon Islands, Mexico, India, and the US, this film\rchronicles a missionary organization's development of ultra-low-tech\raudio technologies (like a cardboard record player) to evangelize to\rtraditional communities with limited access to electricity and media.\rInterspersing interviews with shots of nodal patterns, waveforms and a\rsignal generator, the film \"has presented disembodied audio as a\rreligion unto itself\" (The New York Times).\r\rIn this film series, each story shows the human dramas of the modern\rtechnologies that surround us.  The technological systems seen here\rinvite us to consider the relationships between technical decisions\rand sustainability, culture, and identity.  Join us for screenings of\rthese award-winning films, each followed by a brief discussion.\r\rMuseum visitors are reminded that outside food and drinks are not\rallowed in the Museum.  Backpacks and other large items brought to the\rMuseum will have to be stored; there is limited locker storage space\ravailable for these items.\r"
