This episode is about authenticity. Hosted by SCI-Arc History + Theory coordinator Marrikka Trotter, the Arc considers the relationship between the authentic and the fake in fashion and art with Jenny Lin, associate professor of critical studies at University of Southern California&#039;s Roski School of Art and Design; the consciousness-expanding experience of co-authoring a novel with AI with writer and artist K Allado-McDowell; and how Neolithic edifices might be considered an authentic reference for contemporary small-scale housing in Los Angeles with SCI-Arc faculty Anna Neimark.

Embodiment

Casual, unscripted, and intimate, The Arc episodes present themed discussions that investigate existing contemporary ideas and attitudes around architecture, juxtaposing them with disciplines and topics outside of architecture. 
The Arc is a venue for conversation, recorded at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles, and led by SCI-Arc faculty and History + Theory Coordinator Marrikka Trotter.
