DESCRIPTION:MICHIGAN TECH ART SERIES EVENT\n\nNeoliberal Loops is a body of
  work created by Emma C. Johnson that explores neoliberalism\, postfeminis
 m\, economic precarity\, and how our understanding of these phenomena are 
 mediated through visual culture. Her work is concerned with mundane and id
 iosyncratic details that are telling of a larger picture of the world. She
  works primarily in painting\, printmaking\, photography\, video\, sound\,
  and text. Whatever medium the idea demands is what determines the materia
 lity of the finished work. \n\nThe Neoliberal Loops project features three
  related works on the theme of financial crisis. This includes music/sound
  and digital video\, photography\, text on a moving LED lights screen\, an
 d letterpress on paper. This exhibition is an opportunity to reflect on ca
 pitalism\, representation\, and feminism\, and grapple with this material 
 in a visceral way. Emma invites viewers to reflect on neoliberalism\, whic
 h often seems as natural as the air we breathe. This opens up a dialog abo
 ut how representations of neoliberalism shapes our understanding of it and
  how we might approach our understanding of it and other possibilities for
  living differently. This project brings Emma's writing\, art\, music\, an
 d theoretical background together when these areas are typically compartme
 ntalized.\n\nThis exhibition was also an opportunity for Emma to receive g
 uidance from Michigan Technological University’s Math and Music Lab (MML
 ) co-directors Robert Schnieder and Michael Maxwell. Combining math\, visu
 al and performing arts\, and the humanities opens up possibilities. Emma's
  time at MTU was a unique opportunity to combine disciplines to culminate 
 in an interdisciplinary project.\n\nEnjoy refreshments and hear from Emma 
 C. Johnson about her works from 5-7 p.m. on Friday\, September 18\, 2026.
