Opening night (December 8th at 7pm) will feature live performances that utilize computer generated electronics, interactive media, and the instrument of the human body. Throughout the exhibition, the audience will be able to appreciate a wide range of works that experiment with sound as a medium. In one of the works, for example, the audience will be able to manipulate the light around an object to create different sounds, rhythms, and pitches. There will also be: an interactive dialogue between the sonic and the visible through a "still life" of circuits; sound pieces where the text itself becomes a sculpture, without the use of any material or object; and organic material sculptures that utilize sound to add a new texture to their physicality. http://www.facebook.com/events/384737261610046/
