It involves wireless technology which is getting smaller and smarter. Friday November 8, 8pm Composer Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello, directors of the Manhattan-based Troika Ranch dance theater company, discuss their work, in which live art is enabled by interactive technology. The presentation will include a demonstration of Coniglio's MidiDancer, a system of sensors that allows a dancer's movement to control music, light, and video. Audience members will be able to jam in real time, altering the plot of the lounge, by means of sound interaction and MIDI streaming. Warm up for Thanksgiving with an 11-course, interactive, potluck dinner, cooked up over ISDN phone lines in collaboration with Open Interactive Media.
Participants bring one dish to share and one to donate to a needy family.
In series concludes with a free release party for a new CD-ROM by Diane Bertolo. Probing into Science, distributed by Tellus.
