VIX Sound+Light+Motion

The first day at the EMPAC Lab with a group of very creative individuals from all over the globe. Two dancers from Australia, a computer science student from Italy, a dancer from South Korea, a Second Life theatre company member from England, various American citizens and myself, the lone Canadian.

My arduino boards did arrive in the mail today, so I am looking forward to developing that direction. The facilities and staff here are magnificent, giving us a level of technical support and available equipment that exceeds my expectations in every way. More photos and posts to come. This will be an exciting exploration for all of us.
