EMPAC — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center
My application to attend the summer intensive workshop has been accepted. August will find me in New York at one of the most advanced media arts centres in the world learning sophisticated control technologies. This workshop is intensive, going from 10am-10pm for 7 days on campus in residency.
LIVE.MEDIA + PERFORMANCE.LAB
8/16 – 8/22
The workshop addresses emerging and professional art practitioners, scientists, researchers, and students from different backgrounds in performance and new media committed to sharing their interest in developing a deeper understanding of composing work focused on real time, interactive or time-based experiences and multidisciplinary collaborative processes (video, sound processing, projection design, lighting, choreography and directing).
This workshop will assist me in realizing my Immersive Environment Instrument (IEI) and possibly lead to collaborations with other media artists that attend. An opportunity that has come along at exactly the right time to help me create my vision requires some pre-production consideration.
A Macbook Pro looms in my future, but I will still try to program and control my sensor array with Ubuntu.
