We hear from artist Young Joon Kwak, whose work focuses on queer bodies, how they have been represented in art history, and how they form communities. Then, speculative architect and SCI-Arc faculty member Jennifer Chen talks about world-building and how design can flesh fictions into alternative realities. Finally, Dr. Sunita Puri speaks on dying, the unknowability of the universe, and the different ways of being embodied within it.

In architecture dimensions are crucial, ranging from prosaic units of scale and size to deeper and subtler considerations of a building’s qualities and surface effects.
This episode is about dimensionality, about its artifice, its strangeness, its unexpected qualities. SCI-Arc History+Theory Coordinator, Marrikka Trotter, will consider how dimensions coexist across vast distances of space and time with UCLA postdoctoral scholar in Astronomy and Astrophysics Louis Abramson, various dimensions of architectural representation with SCI-Arc senior faculty and Visual Studies Coordinator Devyn Weiser, as well as the perspective of a multi-layered queer aesthetics with art historian, curator, and author Andy Campbell.
