Hi! My name is Adrion T. Kelley and I am president of University of 
Oregon Art & Technology. The UOAT has been hard at work creating niche 
opportunities for Art majors who utilize their unique creative skills to 
assist fellow students, faculty and community professionals with media 
development, market analysis, scientific/data visualization and 
programming/hardware design. The new agenda for UOAT is as follows:



1. Proffering of Universal Accessibility Agenda

UOAT has been working closely with Sara Zolbrod from DanceAbility 
International on introducing an interactive media element within 
alternative dance therapy for differently abled persons. DanceAbility 
maintains an active presence on the UO campus through the UO School of 
Music and Dance.
For more info contact Sara sara at danceability.com

UOAT has also recently become aware of the new Disability Studies minor 
offered here at the UO. UO Associate Professor, Elizabeth Wheeler, lent 
a tremendous effort in the establishment of this new minor at the U of 
O. Professor Wheeler also works with the UO Department of Theatre Arts 
in maintaining theatre classes for the differently abled.
For more info contact Professor Wheeler  ewheeler at uoregon.edu

UO Department of Architecture Associate Professor, Kyuho Ahn, also 
assists in the maintenance of the differently abled theatre classes by 
designing stage sets for performances. On occasion Professor Ahn advises 
the UOAT in matters of interactive interior design as it pertains to 
Universal Accessibility.
To find out more about human behavior within a built environment contact 
Professor Ahn kahn at uoregon.edu

UOAT has also made contact with Mike Shugrue from Full Access in Eugene. 
Mike offers screenwriting and videography classes for the differently 
abled. Each year films created by differently abled individuals are 
featured at the SPROUT film festival  https://vimeo.com/122650454
For more info contact Mike Shugrue MShugrue at fullaccess.org

UOAT would also like to thank Rebeca Torres for being such an 
inspirational artist and recognizes her as a game changer within the 
world of marketing and promotion. UOAT students are currently employing 
her aesthetic algorithms, with terrific results.

UOAT would also like to thank Heidi Von Ravensberg from the UODSP for 
all of her wonderful updates regarding all Universal Accessibility 
events and announcements.
To receive all things Universally Accessible contact Heidi 
hvr at uoregon.edu



2. Architectural Environment Controls

As of late UOAT has lent a technical helping hand to the development of 
wireless environmental control systems in a joint academic endeavor 
betwixt the U of O's Energy Studies in Building's (ESBL) lab and the OSU 
to study human comfort within interior spaces. Associate Professor and 
Director of the ESBL lab, Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, and Graduate 
Research Fellow, Andrew Loia, are open to exploring new and innovative 
software and hardware designs to assist in the discovery of optimal 
human comfort and efficiency levels within interior spaces.

3. Renewing Academic Interest in Analog Electronics

The UOAT has become made aware of the Technical Science Administration's 
(TSA) unique class entitled "Analog Electronics". This is a very special 
class open only to graduate students that teaches the finer points of 
electronics through analog immersion. TSA Director, John Boosinger, and 
TSA Electronics Engineer, Cliff Dax, are looking to expand their class 
so that anyone could enroll and benefit from the decades of advanced 
technical knowledge both Cliff and John have to offer the academic 
community. Cliff and John are looking for a UO academic department to 
help sponsor their efforts at program expansion, in return that certain 
department will be enriched with decades of rare electrical engineering 
expertise.
For more info contact John boos at uoregon.edu

Cliff cdax at uoregon.edu



4. Interactive Presentations

UOAT has been developing the next generation of presentation technology 
by researching and developing a suite of data/scientific visualization 
smart phone apps to be used in tandem through wifi with a projector to 
create a simple and friendly interactive presentation space. UOAT would 
like to thank the Energy Studies in Buildings (ESBL) lab and the 
International Interior Design Association (IIDA) for their valuable 
analytic feedback pertaining to UOAT's interactive wireless presentation 
prospectus. UOAT hopes to extend this interactive wireless presentation 
niche within the realms of physics and chemistry.
For more info contact UOAT club president Adrion adrionk at uoregon.edu


5. Free Promo for Art & Technology

Allen Price Science Commons & Research Library Science and Technology 
Outreach Librarian and Associate Professor, Dean Walton, is the person 
in charge of media content featured on the biggest data visualization 
screen in Oregon. Dean is constantly looking for Art & Technology Majors 
who would like to submit videos of their Art/Tech projects. These videos 
will be featured in a continuous loop for all Science and Technology 
Majors to enjoy within the new library. Dean also heads up the new 
DeArmond MakerSpace within the science library. Within this fully loaded 
technical design lab Dean teaches students some of the basic concepts 
surrounding hardware design, interactive game development and physical 
dynamic data retrieval.
