The “Technological Arts Preservation" project, enacted through the collaboration between Sabancı University and digitalSSM Archive and Research Space, is hosting a talk that brings together Jeffrey Shaw, a prominent name in the new media arts, with digital arts conservators from Tate and ZKM. 

The talk will revolve around the methods of carrying immersive media into the future: the participants will focus on “Virtual Sculpture” (1981) by Shaw and “Memory Theater VR” (1997) by Agnes Hegedüs, and explore the technical and non-technical challenges of preserving the works of new media art. 

PROGRAM 

16.00
Keynote: The Artist’s Views on the Preservation of Immersive Media

* Jeffrey Shaw, New Media Artist  
For this session, the artist will share his views on the preservation of his work of art Virtual Sculpture (1981) as well as the work Memory Theater VR (1997) by Agnes Hegedüs. 

16.40
Round-table: Non-Technical and  Technical Challenges of  Preserving Immersive Media

* Tom Ensom, Time-Based Media Conservator (TATE)
* Osman Serhat Karaman, Digital Preservation Manager (SSM)
* Jack McConchie, Time-Based Media Conservator (TATE)

* Morgane Stricot, Media and Digitla Art Conservator (ZKM)
* Matthieu Vlaminck, Media and Digitla Art Conservator (ZKM)

* Cemal Yılmaz, Engineering and Natural Sciences Faculty Member (SABANCI UNIVERSITY)

The debate will revolve around the works referred to in the first session and focus on the time factor in the preservation of technological artworks. The participants will examine whether it is possible to conserve the effect of an artwork that has been technologically produced and preserved. Accordingly, they will also explore the process of selecting the elements to be saved for the future in cases the original technology used for the work has become out of date. 

18.00
Q + A 

The event will be conducted in English and is free of charge for all participants who register at Sakıp Sabancı Museum’s website.

Sabancı University Engineering and Natural Sciences Faculty Members, SUNUM and EFSUN researchers Ali Koşar ve Kürşat Şendur's patents granted by three patent offices are defined as a highly prestigious triadic patent.

Ali Koşar, Kürşat Şendur 

The patent application entitled "Flow System for Preventing Particle Agglomeration", which was jointly made by Sabancı University and Özyeğin University, was granted by the European Patent Office (EPO) (EP3365627B1) and the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) (JP6559363B2), and the US Patent and Trademark Office (USTPO) (US10837604B2). The patents granted by these three patent offices are defined as a highly prestigious triadic patent. There are only below 20 triadic patents in Turkey.

Ozyegin University EÇEM Direktor Pınar Mengüç, FENS faculty members and SUNUM and EFSUN researchers Ali Koşar and Kürşat Şendur propose an innovative method for prevention of particle agglomeration. This method could pave the way for the implementation of nanoparticles to various applications.  This patent is an output of the collaborative platform ‘Istanbul Collaborative’.

The Gender Equality Action Plan (GEP) which Sabancı University started in 2019, will be put into action as of 2021.

The Gender Equality Action Plan, carried out within the scope of the European Union Horizon 2020 GEARING-Roles project, was designed as a unique collection of research and practices in which Sabancı University's ethical principles, strategic goals and research strategy were all considered. The action steps determined in the Gender Equality Action Plan aim to reflect our institutional stance in the field of gender equality at every point of our academic and administrative mechanisms. These actions have been categorized under 8 main headings in line with the needs and goals of Sabancı University.

• Institutionalization of Gender Equality
• Recruitment
• Career Progression
• Work-Life Balance
• Decision Making and Leadership
• Research
• Curriculum and Teaching 
• Sexual Harassment, Anti-Assault and Anti-Discrimination Mechanisms and Gender-Neutral Communication

During this process: 

• An Institutional Evaluation Report (2019) was prepared within the framework of the research methodology produced with the expertise gained from similar preliminary projects funded by the EU.

• More than 30 interviews, focus groups and co-creation workshops were conducted with the participation of 100 academics, academic administration staff and students from various units of the university.

• The Gender Equality Task Force (GETF) was established in June 2019 with the participation of 28 faculty members, administrative staff, directors and students from different faculties and units of our university. The GEP Committee took on an active role in the execution of the project. 

• Implementation of the action plans has already begun.  Gender Equality Training, in cooperation with SU Gender, was completed with the participation of 216 employees from Human Resources, Student Resources, Marketing and Corporate Communication and Information Center units. The aim is to offer this training to all university employees. 

• The “Gender Equality Officer” role was created under the umbrella of the Human Resources Department at our university.
