Via Zoom Masterclass with Karl Heinz Jeron: How to Create Sound Art with Audacity, 10am PST I am hosting these September courses, taught by guest artists from my 2021 Summer Arts class Contemporary Art in Berlin. (Remember how we moved that from 2020—I really hope you still want to come!) Here's the info: German sound artist Karl Heinz Jeron is going to work with you on sonification—a practice that blends the aesthetic realm of sound art and music. He’ll introduce you to Audacity, a program that allows you to create algorithmically generated music. This practice of mapping aspects of data to produce sound signals is being widely used now in the creation of sound art. Jeron will give a conceptual introduction and walk through a project using COVID-19 sample data. Then students will practice and ask questions to be able to make their own sound art, exploring scientific data and musical creativity. No previous experience is needed. You must download and install Audacity (it’s free) before the Masterclass. |

Corporeal Writing: Memoir Workshop, 5:30-7:30pm PST
This workshop had a long waitlist when we did it in August, so we're doing it again in October!
Yes, these are two hour meetings via Zoom, a week apart for a month. We're going to make things, y'all. We're going to focus on process and understanding how we frame what has happened to us in our lives, how we can use writing as a method of inquiry in order to access and enhance memory. We will spend no time polishing writing (in fact, I hope we write some things we'll never want to share with anyone). Go sign up now.

One thing is certain: her show is a must-see!" — The Scribe (Colorado Springs, CO) |
