Join us in the multiverse for an evening of sonic emersion and visual poetics on Tuesday, November 10th from 7:00–8:00 PM.

Directed by Marc Ainger (Music/ACCAD) and Fede Cámara Halac (GAHDT PostDoc), the Sonic Arts Ensemble explores the extension of traditional instruments and modes of performance into new, imaginative realms of action and interaction. 

For this special concert, the Sonic Arts Ensemble meets in virtual space to connect from their homes in Argentina and the U.S. (Ohio, Indiana, New York, Florida). 

Dancers Norah Zuniga Shaw (Dance/ACCAD) and Oded Huberman (Dance/ACCAD) will perform along with several other collaborators. Zuniga Shaw hopes this technology can help strengthen human bonds. Week by week during the spring and summer, she saw the way live collaboration enhanced the well-being of everyone involved. Humans love making sound together – laughter, applause, singing and music – and that opportunity has really dropped off during the pandemic, she said.

“Because society at large is now realizing the stakes in our digital lives, there’s a radically enhanced and expanded audience for the intellectual and creative work of this kind of performance,” Zuniga Shaw said. “This is an example of a way that we can and should be pushing on our technologies to be more humane and to advance our lives and well-being, not just corporate profits.”

The honorable Elizabeth A. Baker, a New Renaissance Artist, joins the Ensemble as our very special guest. She brings to the evening her idiosyncratic genius and boundary shifting approach to sound, light, and image!
