<div><b>Second ReSiDeNt Show Friday</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>LEMUR's second<b> ReSiDeNt</b> show is this Friday, February
29th, featuring Holland Hopson, Zach Layton and Max Lord + Ellen
Godena.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>January's show was a blast, with great works by Joshua Goldberg,
Drew Krause and Taylor Kuffner, with 200 people in attendance. It also
spawned the first ReSiDeNt collaboration project - LEMUR and Taylor
will be working together to make a permanent robo-gamelan, with an NYC
debut show to be announced shortly thereafter.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>ReSiDeNt shows take place at LEMUR on the last Friday of each
month.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>ReSiDeNt @ LEMUR: New Works, New Instruments, New
Artists</b></div>
<div><b>461 Third Avenue between 9th & 10th Sts.,
Brooklyn</b></div>
<div><b>Friday February 29th</b></div>
<div><b>8 pm - 12 pm</b></div>
<div><b>$5 at the door</b></div>

<div><br></div>
<div><b>Holland Hopson</b> is a composer, improviser, and electronic
artist. Holland will bring Old-Time Appalachia to the League of
Electronic Musical Urban Robots by creating new pieces for the LEMUR
bots and Tru One, his clawhammer banjo/sensor interface.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Zach Layton</b> is a composer, improviser, curator and new
media artist based in new york with an interest in biofeedback,
generative algorithms, experimental music, biomimicry and
contemporary architectural practice. His work investigates complex
relationships and topologies created through the interaction of
simple core elements like sine waves, minimal surfaces and kinetic
visual patterns. He is planning to create a new work for guitar, sax,
drums plus robots. His piece will be composed using an open score
format encouraging improvisation among the human players and neural
network software to encourage improvisation among the robots.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Max Lord</b> is a percussionist who will be writing a new
piece for the LEMUR robots in collaboration with NYC-based
choreographer<b> Ellen Godena</b>. The score will integrate a live
performance on the Marimba Lumina with robot percussion and
spontaneous robot-inspired movement.</div>

<div><b>March ReSiDeNts Announced</b></div>
<div><b>April Submissions Now Open</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Our third group of ReSiDeNts is a big one, including two teams of
collaborators. They will be creating new works at LEMUR in March to be
debuted March 28th.</div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div><b>R. Luke DuBois</b> is a composer, performer, video artist
and programmer. He has collaborated on interactive performance,
installation, and music production work with many artists and
organizations including Toni Dove, Matthew Ritchie, Todd Reynolds,
Michael Joaquin Grey, Elliott Sharp, Michael Gordon, Bang on a Can,
Engine27, Harvestworks and LEMUR.<b> Lesley Flanigan</b> is a
sculptor, vocalist, curator, and sound artist in New York City. Her
diverse range of work explores relationships between people and their
inventions using metaphors of sound, communication, and mechanics.
Their plan is to play the robots by using transducers to resonate and
damp their sound.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Fascinated by details and interested in exploring alternative and
seemingly bizarre human computer relations,<b> Hannah
Perner-Wilson</b> indulges in breaking technologies down to a basic
level, from which she is able to develop her own interaction solutions
and scenarios.<b> Mika Satomi</b> is interested in exploring the
concept of an urban body extension in the realm of wearable
technology. Their previous collaborations have explored wearable
technology as a medium for commenting on technological and social
aspects. They propose to map a verbal language onto motion captured
from a performer's body and to feed back auditory output, resulting
in a dialog between performer and machines.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Jay Alan Zimmerman</b> is an experimental multimedia composer
whose works for dance, film, and theater have been shown in hundreds
of venues including art galleries, Lincoln Center, the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival and the Pompidou Center in Paris. With both classical
music training and a BFA in Film from Tisch/NYU, he stretches
boundaries by working with diverse collaborators including
instrumentalists, Broadway singers, aerial performers, visual artists,
drag queens and now robots. In addition, as Jay has become deaf to
most sound, he plans to create a visual symphony during his
residency.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Artists from all performing and installation disciplines are
encouraged to apply to ReSiDeNt, including musicians, composers,
dancers, choreographers, video artists, interactive installation
artists, performance artists, multimedia artists and others. To learn

Deadlines are rolling, with April submissions accepted until March
15th.</div>
