Cutting-edge audiovisual art exhibit arrives at UH

'Microfestival' to show multimedia artwork, with panel discussion Friday

Cougar News Staff

The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts and the Aurora Picture Show are teaming up to bring to campus the works of multimedia artists who are on the cutting edge of their ever-evolving field, Karen Farber, managing director of the Mitchell Center, said.

"Signal Operators: An Audiovisual Microfestival" will explore the sound and vision media of the past at 8 p.m. today at the Dudley Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Building.

"(The event) will offer an incredible line-up of cutting-edge artists," Farber said. "We were thrilled to discover that we could join forces with this amazing media festival being offered by the Aurora Picture Show."

Golan Levin's "Scribble," an audiovisual concert featuring computer-generated imagery and sounds and Scott Arford's "TV-IV," a combination of sounds created from two TV picture tubes fitted with microphones, are two of the works to be presented during the event.

The show will also feature works and performances by Sue Costabile, Dallas-based band Tree Wave, Tommy Becker and Rick Silva.

The artists will also participate in a panel discussion on audiovisual art at 1 p.m. Friday in the auditorium on the first floor of the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture. The discussion is open to the public.

The event is open to the public, and admission is $8.
