Parsons Internship Fair

We hope you can join us at the Parsons Internship Fair! This event is a great opportunity for students to find fall and winter semester internships. In addition, we encourage students to network with these top companies. We are pleased that in this challenging economic climate, employer interest in Parsons students continues to grow. A recent New York Times article reporting on the difficulty college students seeking internships are experiencing, stated, “Internships available to college students have fallen 21 percent since last year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.” But at Parsons, employer demand clearly remains strong.

Over forty top employers will be in attendance, including companies that are new to the event such as Stylecaster, Time Inc. Content Solutions, and Wieden+Kennedy.

Screening of Manufactured Landscapes today!

Parsons School of Art, Media & Technology will host a screening of EDWARD BURTYNSKY: MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES tonight.

WHEN: Wednesday, August 26, 6PM

WHERE: Lab10 (room 1000, 2 W 13th St., 10th floor)

MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES is the striking new documentary on the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Internationally acclaimed for his large-scale photographs of “manufactured landscapes”—quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams—Burtynsky creates stunningly beautiful art from civilization’s materials and debris. The film follows him through China, as he shoots the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. With breathtaking sequences, such as the opening tracking shot through an almost endless factory, the filmmakers also extend the narratives of Burtynsky’s photographs, allowing us to meditate on our impact on the planet and witness both the epicenters of industrial endeavor and the dumping grounds of its waste.

In the spirit of such environmentally enlightening sleeper-hits as AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and RIVERS AND TIDES, MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES powerfully shifts our consciousness about the world and the way we live in it, without simplistic judgments or reductive resolutions.
