Hi All -(sorry if this is posted numerous times... used the wrong email 
to send!)

I wanted to let the list know about a Symposium on Sound Art that is 
being held at The University of the Arts, Connelly Auditorium, 211 
South Broad Street, 8th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

November 9, 7:30 – 9:30 pm.

Reception following discussion. Free and open to the public.

Symposium on Sound Art: http://www.terragizmo.net/Sound_Art_Symposium/

This Symposium will host four internationally renowned sound artists: 
Annea Lockwood, Liz Phillips, Douglas Irving Repetto, and o.blaat 
(Keiko Uenishi). The artists will speak about their own art and will 
present samples of their work in an auditorium with state-of-the-art 
media facilities. These four artists represent an extensive range of 
sound art practice: Lockwood was a pioneer of outdoor sound 
installation work who is now composing music using environmental sound 
sources; Phillips, another ground-breaking sound artist who 
collaborated with media artists such as Nam June Paik when she was in 
her early 20’s, is now building installations with 3-D video 
projections and binaural sound using vases and bowls as speakers; 
Repetto, a dynamic force in the multimedia community, creates 
biologically-based sound pieces, interactive installations and robotic 
art projects; o.blaat produces interactive installations and is 
currently focused on performance altering the “how and where” of 
experiencing sound art. So, from submerged pianos to the club scene, 
this panel will offer the symposium audience a unique perspective on 
current sound art practice as the artists reflect on their own work and 
how they involve the audience in sound art including comment upon 
Cardiff and Miller’s Pandemonium installation at Eastern State 
Penitentiary as well. The panel will be moderated by intermedia artist 
John J. H. Phillips.

Hope you all can stop by!

Thanks,

John
