FREE CUTTING EDGE SPEAKER SERIES - Beginning this Wednesday!

TROY, NY – The Arts Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) presents the 2023 “iEAR Salon” virtual speaker series, exploring relationships between minds, bodies, the virtual spaces humans enact and inhabit, and our planet in crisis. Curated by the Arts Graduate Colloquium of RPI.

Mutli-disciplinary artists, musicians, and thinkers Bert Winther-Tamaki, Wadada Leo Smith, Dr. John Troyer, Dr. Hanne De Jaegher, Enrique Encinas, and Alenda Y. Chang address topics from embodied improvisation to technologies of the human corpse; from eco-critical approaches to art history to video games as responses to ecological chaos; and from speculative design to participatory sense-making.

The first one this Wednesday, Oct. 4th! – Please join us for the first of a virtual series of vital presentations followed by brief question and answer sessions. Each presentation is free to the public.

Time: 12pm-1pm

Location: Virtual
