 and evangelized the importance of the entertainment phenomenon known as the dark ride. The term refers to indoor amusement rides, such as ghost trains, haunted mansions and old mills which have been a key feature of fairgrounds and theme parks for more than
 a century.<br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">
 <br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">
Sadly, of the thousands of spooky rides which used to adorn amusement parks across the USA and the world, almost none are left. Little has been done to archive the impact of the dark ride on visual culture despite the popularity of other haunted media and horror
 movies.<br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">
 <br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">
Since 2015, Dr. Zika has used virtual reality to archive the remaining examples of the dark ride media format. This unique approach has led to rich media being collected from rides dating back to 1932, experiences which have never been shared beyond their darkened
 corridors.<br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">
 <br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">
Dr. Zika will discuss the importance of ride culture in society and the impact that archiving entertainment experiences can have on other media practitioners.</div>

 catastrophe. The work transports viewers into a ghostly rendering of pre-contact Indigenous earthworks located within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The rendering, derived from high-resolution 3D lidar scans, is complemented by an atmospheric soundscape
 algorithmically influenced by current weather conditions in the park. The soundscape includes field recordings created in the park as part of a scientific study, bird calls of species that citizen scientists have identified in the park, and, most importantly,
 the voices of Indigenous folks and scientists reflecting on their relationship to the diverse human and non-human communities of Northeast Ohio.</div>
