http://kairus.org/portfolio/book-the-internet-of-other-peoples-things/

The Internet of Things (IoT), smart city initiatives, and smart home technology are marketed to us as sleek and glamorous 3D renderings promising a convenient and sustainable technology that will save us and our planet from a future of environmental distress. Yet the buzzword bingo of smart city rhetoric, the polished advertisements for networked devices, and the glossy packaging of smart home devices are in stark contrast to the news and research which investigates the vulnerabilities of our connected lives...

Galaxies Not So Far Away: MSUM Professor 3-D Prints “BB-8” Replica

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away—or, right down the hall in the MSUM Center for the Arts.
For three months, Carlos Pacheco, assistant professor of photography at MSUM, has been working on building a droid, or at least a convincing replica of one. With some 3-D printers, designs found online, a few miscellaneous parts and time—lots and lots of time—Pacheco is well on his way to recreating the popular robot “BB-8” from the “Star Wars” films...

2018 MID-AMERICA COLLEGE ART ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
hosted by THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA - LINCOLN

OCTOBER 4th  & 5th, 2018

Photographic Artifacts and Virtual Memories is an individual artist talk focusing on three photographic and new media projects; Corrupted, Collective, and Found. Corrupted explores a glitch aesthetic through data-bending and found photographs. Collective is the culmination of an extensive body of work made up of a series of books and videos that utilize live-streaming web-cams at various sites deemed culturally significant. Together, the images and video that comprise Collective explore how we use photography in an increasingly digital and connected world. The third body of work, an extension of Collective, is Found. A continued investigation of found photographs and live web-cams, Found is an ongoing globally collaborative exploration utilizing social media and live streaming web-cams to pinpoint a moment
in time and space from multiple perspectives. A virtual link is created between myself and the participants, all of whom are complete strangers, in a questioning of privacy and access to information.

SPE Northwest Panel Discussion: Shifting Landscapes: Past, Present, and Future

Shifting Landscapes: Past, Present, and Future
Being image-makers, each of us observes and records our lives and our environment in our own way. Though differing in approach, the works of three lens-based artists: Anh-Thuy Nguyen, Carlos Rene Pacheco, and Jacinda Russell share a theme of loss, made visible through human interaction in the landscape. The panelists will lead the audiences though their visual journeys from the rural landscapes of the Upper Midwest, USA to the crowded cities in Viet Nam, to the glacial melt at Ilulissat Icefjord in Disko Bay, Greenland. We continually discuss global warming, while our legislators debate on policies to monitor human activities from deforestation, oil drilling, to movement of refugees, etc. Every second we are living, we are creating an impact. Using our visual work as a gateway, the panel discussion will invite dialogues for the audiences to reflect on and share thoughts of impact we have been producing in our daily life.

Overland Artworks 24/2 Artist Residency

During my 24/2 residency I started on a larger body of work tentatively titled Artifact. This project is an extension of some of my previous work involving found photographs and a glitch aesthetic. With the advent of digital technology came a de-materialization not only of ourselves but of the photographic medium. Photographs, which in the past were exclusively physical objects shared among friends and family, have been mostly replaced by virtual means of sharing through social media and online photo-streams. The physical photographs in this series...

Flatland at the NDMOA Autumn Art Auction

Inspired by the seemingly unbroken flatness of rural Minnesota and North Dakota along a horizontal plane, Flatland, is a series of photographs that explores the textures and space of the Midwest from an aerial point of view. From as high as 30,000 feet above the surface of the Earth, these photographs look at the microscopic and macroscopic structures of the terrain below. From this aerial perspective the landscape is evocative of the extraterrestrial topography of a distant planet. As if visible through the circular portals of some space-faring craft, the view is not dissimilar to those captured by the satellites and probes used by NASA....

Remote Viewing- Presenting at SPE South Central

Carlos Rene Pacheco will give an Artist Talk concerning three bodies of work; Collective, Obstructed, and Flatland. These works explore the theme of new and evolving approaches to image-making such as webcams, camera phones, and drones. Collective is a series of books and videos made using live webcam images of recurring actions in culturally significant spaces. Obstructed pushes back against the voyeuristic nature of webcams and surveillance cameras. Obstructed is a series of abstractions recorded from live webcams in which various environmental factors and the camera's own mechanisms disrupt the camera's function as a tool that aids in global voyeurism. And Flatland is a series of photographs that explores the textures and space of the Midwest, from above and below, along the vertical z-axis.

Talk about being saved by a whisker. A pair of kittens is on the mend after they became trapped inside a pile of burning brush in North Dakota, only to be saved by a passing photographer who heard them crying. “My first thought was, I am going to have to watch this cat pass away,” Carlos Pacheco, who was photographing the controlled fire earlier this month, told Valley News Live.Pacheco said he had been snapping photos for about five minutes at the blaze near Grandin, about 30 miles north of Fargo, before he heard their cries....

Photographer rescues two kittens from controlled burn

10/20/2016

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - Pyro and Manni are the names of two kittens being called little fire fighters. The two barely survived after being trapped by a controlled burn in rural North Dakota.

The kittens were born in a burn pile, and a couple weeks later it was lit on fire. "I don't feel this was intentional, I think unfortunately they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Says their foster mom, Dawn Barth.
Thankfully, a photographer stopped to capture the controlled burn, and rescued them. "My first thought was, I am going to have to watch this cat pass away, that was my first thought." Says photographer, Carlos Pacheco.
He has been working on a project where he takes pictures of fires, and has never seen anything like it. Pacheco took pictures for about five minutes before he realized the two were inside. He says the sound of the fire was too loud to hear them meow. "I walked over to get some different angles, and I heard a cat meowing, and I kinda looked around and I didn't see anything. So, I took a few steps back over to where I was, and it turns out the cat sort of blended in with the trees."

Pyro was actually inside the fire, and Manni was nearby breathing in too much smoke. "It was too hot for me to even get close to it, which is why I was surprised that the cat was even in it. I had to shield myself with my jacket to even attempt to grab her," says Pacheco.

Pacheco used a stick to pull out Pyro, and scooped up Manni, putting them in a box, and taking them to cat's cradle to get emergency care.

"When I just saw her, I didn't think she would make it." says Barth. "His temperature didn't even register on the thermometer, and her's was low, her's was low too."

Pacheco says he's considering adopting Pyro and Manni, hoping wherever they go they will end up together.
Cats Cradle wants to remind people to spay and neuter their pets, saying that shelters are overflowing with animals.
