Leon Gruenbaum, inventor of the Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeeeee, will be presenting his new project “Genes and Machines.” And last but certainly not least we’ll be hearing from creative force and ex-Antipop Consortium member High Priest (a.k.a.

Genes and Machines
(Leon Gruenbaum)

You’ve read all the Kurzweil books and the sclence fiction scenarios and it makes perfect sense: whatever an entity is made of - flesh and blood, or silicon and lead - its actlons, its “thoughts”, its “feelings” are determined by mechanistic processes. Man and machine alike are programmed.

And then something happens that makes it clear, at least to you, that people must be more than machines. But in the end you are not sure.

Timothy Nohe

Timothy Nohe is an artist and educator engaging traditional and electronic media in public life and public places. His recent work has been realized in Intermedia works, including site-specific sound and video installations, sound scores for dance, sculpture and photography. He recently debuted two visual scores for Percy Grainger’s “Electric Eye Tone Tool”, transcribed from rubbings produced at historic penal colony buildings in Sydney, Australia. He is currently composing with a range of sonic materials gathered at Botany Bay: gale winds and tides; Guriwal funeral songs; satellite data streams; the cries of sulfur-crested cockatoos; radio frequency intercepts; tombstone epitaphs, convict songs, the idling diesel thrum of inter-modal container terminals…

Nohe was the recipient of a 2006 Fulbright Senior Scholar Award from the Australian — American Fulbright Commission. Three Maryland State Arts Council awards have sustained his work in the area of New Genre and Installation/Sculpture. He will continue his work in Australia in January 2008.
