WIRED ICONS: A Conversation with David Byrne

In conversation with Wired magazine editors, speakers in this special series
on technology and a world in transformation discuss how their work is
shaping the future. David Byrne's most recent project is Envisioning
Epistemological Information, a book of artwork done with the presentation
software PowerPoint. Byrne explains how to take subjective, even emotional,
information and present it in a familiar audio/video form using a medium in
a way that is different and, possibly better, than what was intended. Best
known as one of the Talking Heads, Byrne has been making visual art for more
than 25 years and is represented by Pace/MacGill Gallery, NYC. This event
takes place at the 92nd Street Y, 1395 Lexington Avenue (at 92nd Street) in
New York, NY, on Monday, September 15, at 8pm, and tickets are $25. Future
guests in this series include Barry Diller (10/28) and Lawrence Lessig of
Stanford University's Center of Internet and Society (3/23). More info is
