SUMMARY:Dual Lens: Art and Science in Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an inspiring evening where we explore the fascinating intersection of art and science. This event will spotlight how creativity and curiosity transcend disciplines\, showcasing artists who draw inspiration from scientific inquiry and scientists who incorporate artistic practices into their work. Discover how these unique perspectives enrich our understanding of the world and ignite imagination. \nPurchase tickets online! \nDRI Storyteller: \nTiffany Pereira is an ecologist and scientific illustrator specializing in the flora and fauna of the desert southwest. She has more than 11 years of experience specializing in natural resource management\, wildlife management\, threatened and endangered species management and springs and seeps management.  As both a researcher and artist\, she is also interested in graphic design and illustration for science communication. She provides these services\, along with outreach and educational services to DRI and local agencies. She has completed illustration commissions for the Nevada State Museum\, Las Vegas\, research publications\, and private entities. \nFeatured Speakers:  \nJessica Oreck often says that she collects the invisible. Not the magical\, science-fiction version\, but the stuff of life that is so commonplace\, it has receded below our collective conscious awareness. Working across film\, animation\, collage\, photography\, miniatures\, and large-scale installation\, all of her work strives to create a sense of wonder about those invisible\, overlooked aspects of the everyday. \nIn 2021\, Jessica opened a museum in Las Vegas\, NV called the Office of Collection & Design. It is devoted to the minuscule\, the forgotten\, and the discarded. It is essentially a 1000 square-foot installation – a palpable\, interactive manifestation of nostalgia. Visitors have described the museum as “a mix of your grandparent’s attic and Hogwarts Castle.” And have said the collections themselves are “wondrous\,” “magical\,” “charming\,” and “full of unexpected life.” It has been featured everywhere from Colossal to Atlas Obscura. Through the museum\, Jessica present various associated traveling exhibits\, installations\, and workshops around the US. \nThe Office of Collecting & Design also doubles as both an animation studio and a prop house for her work in film and animation. Two of Jessica’s bite-sized\, animated series were commissioned by TED\, and more are underway for a soon-to- launch children’s network. Jessica’s films have been shown at festivals including Sundance\, SXSW\, and Tribeca Film Festival as well playing theatrically around the world. The Criterion Collection recently hosted a retrospective of her documentary features. When not making films\, Jessica spends her time collecting – and these days – sharing those collections with visitors from around the world. \nManila-born and Vegas-raised\, *CoCojenkins is a multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, DJ\, and looper. As a looper\, she blends her classical training and beat-making skills to create psychedelic\, genre-bending compositions with a Hip-Hop foundation\, crafted live in front of her audience. \nBeyond her work as a music artist\, she founded There’s Nothing to do in Vegas—a cultural platform designed to spotlight and amplify Vegas-made art\, music\, and creative expression across all mediums\, connecting the world to the city’s vibrant and unexpected creative pulse. \nThank you to our community partner Nevada Humanities  \n \nThis production is not a Vegas Theatre Company event.
