For this special event, the Sonic Arts Ensemble meets in virtual space connecting from their homes in Argentina and the U.S. (Ohio, Indiana, New York, Florida). (More info on the Ensemble below).
FEATURED GUEST
The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker, a New Renaissance Artist joins the Ensemble as our featured guest. She brings to the evening her idiosyncratic genius and boundary shifting approach which she describes as:
“embracing a constant stream of change and rebirth in practice, which expands into a variety of media, chiefly an exploration of how sonic and spatial worlds can be manipulated to personify a variety of philosophies and principles both tangible as well as intangible.”
Through a special partnership with the Wexner Center for the Arts, audio and video from the various performance locations will be mixed centrally in the Black Box of the Wexner Center, where it will be streamed live.
Put on your headphones and relax for this special concert hosted by the Wexner Center for the Arts.

The Sonic Arts Ensemble
Founded by Marc Ainger and Ann Stimson with Oded Huberman in the Motion Lab at ACCAD (Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design), the Ensemble is a collaborative group of artists that comes together in different configurations over time. The artists are seeking collectively and individually to extend traditional instruments and modes of performance into new, imaginative realms of action and interaction. Relationships between the real and the imagined are re-imagined through sound.

More Details:
This performance will be a real time exploration of the multiverses across time zones that constitute various remote performance spaces, creating an ensemble performance of a combination of through-composed, semi-scored, and real time composition. It will be a live streamed ensemble event, made possible through new conceptual approaches to remote network performance, along with the development of new software and hardware that enable these conceptual approaches (developed through a collaboration with the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, the School of Music, the Dance Department, and CSE).
