| [Nettime-bold] [BAM New Media] Three New Media Installations for BAM's Next WaveFestival |
To extend its long-standing interest in breaking down the boundaries separating disciplinary genres, BAM created a unique artist-in-residence program last year in conjunction with Lucent Technologies, which paired three artists working in new media and communications technology with scientists at Bell Labs. BAM is proud to share with you and your guest the result of this synergy of art and science. These projects have been generously supported by The Rockefeller Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts. We would love to have you and your guest join us as we discuss these exciting projects with their creators on the dates listed below. Following each discussion we will serve light refreshments, and you will have the opportunity to view the installations. Trace Wednesday, November 28 at 8pm Discussion with Paul Kaiser and Nicolas Tsingos In a specially designed and sonically controlled room, audio scientist Nicolas Tsingos and digital artist Paul Kaiser explore the disembodied "traces" we leave within ourselves and in others, ranging across time and distance. Discussion moderated by ABC News special correspondent Robert Krulwich. The installation can be viewed from 6pm to 10pm. Please RSVP to BAM Patron Services 718.636.4182 by Friday, November 23, to reserve your seats. Virtual Actor Wednesday, December 5 at 8pm Discussion with John Jesurun and Kit August Theater director John Jesurun and Bell Labs researchers Kit August discuss their collaborative efforts in producing Jesurun's multimedia performance Snow. The piece deployed multi-screen video projections, four actors, and a "Virtual Actor" robotic camera to investigate received assumptions about point-of-view, narrative structure, privacy, and surveillance. Moderated by Norman Frisch, Director of Performing Arts at Snug Harbor Cultural Center. Please RSVP to BAM Patron Services 718.636.4182 by Friday, November 30, to reserve your seats. Listening Post Wednesday, December 12 at 8pm Discussion with Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen What does the collective voice of the internet sound like? Listening Post gives voice to this vast, silent world, transforming collective online activity and communication into a multi-layered sound installation. Moderated by John Chambers of Bell Laboratories. The installation can be viewed from 6pm to 10pm. Please RSVP to BAM Patron Services 718.636.4182 by Friday, December 7, to reserve your seats. We look forward to greeting you at BAM as we move forward with another exciting realm of art presentation.
