> feminist Tracy + The Plastics spins a fractured multimedia video art
> experiment in the politics of identity and sexuality. Golan Levin,
> creator

> Zachary Lieberman on an audiovisual piece probing "the subtleties of
> manual expression." Topping off the evening is Cory Arcangel from
> BEIGE,
> an art group who has pioneered the practice of hacking obsolete 8bit
> computers and video game systems, and was hailed by the New York Times
> as

> "The Manual Input Sessions" (2004)
> The Manual Input Sessions is a series of audiovisual vignettes which
> probe
> the expressive possibilities of hand gestures and finger movements. We
> present it as a first glimpse of a work-in-progress.
>
> Our concert is performed on a combination of custom interactive
> software,
> analog overhead projectors and digital computer video projectors.
> In this unusual quality of hybridized, dynamic light, we bring
> forth an almost magical new form of augmented-reality shadow play.

> Golan Levin is an artist, engineer and composer interested in
> developing
> artifacts and events which explore supple new modes of interactive
> expression. His work focuses on the design of systems for the
> creation,
> manipulation and performance of simultaneous image and sound, as part
> of a
> more general inquiry into non-verbal communications protocols in
> cybernetic systems. He is known for the conception and creation of
> "Dialtones" (2001), a concert whose sounds are wholly performed through
> the carefully choreographed dialing and ringing of the audience's own
> mobile phones, and for "The Secret Lives of Numbers" (2002), an
> interactive online data visualization featured in the 2004 Whitney
> Biennial. Levin is Assistant Professor of Electronic Art at Carnegie
> Mellon University. (http://www.flong.com)

> Zachary Lieberman is an artist, engineer and educator whose work
> explores
> the creative and human uses of technology. He produces installations,
> on-line works and concerts concerned with the themes of kinetic and
> gestural performance, interactive imaging and sound synthesis.
> Lieberman
> lives and works in New York City, where he teaches courses in
> audiovisual
> synthesis and creative image processing at Parsons School of Design.
> Most
> recently, Lieberman and Levin have premiered several works exploring
> the
> possibilities of real-time speech analysis, including "RE:MARK"
> (2002), an
> interactive installation, and "Messa di Voce" (2003), an
> interactive-media
