NMC and Dadageek [Workshops]: Real‑Time 3D for Immersive Art with TouchDesigner

Join composer and interdisciplinary artist Hannah Spector for an evening of deep listening. Developed by pioneering composer Pauline Oliveros, deep listening is a practice of expanding your awareness through sonic contemplation. Listeners are invited to slow down, soften their attention, and experience sound as a way of connecting more deeply to themselves and their environment.Throughout the evening, Spector will perform a live instrumental score for their 7-channel video installation, if you stare at a cowboy&#39;s face for long enough it turns into a sunset. Performed twice, on the hour, the score combines synthesizer, field recordings, tape loops, live voice, and improvisation. Each iteration will shift slightly. Between performances, listeners can hear the installation with its original recorded soundtrack.Filmed over 5 years in West Texas, the immersive installation explores landscape, myth, and the poetics of place. The desert is not a void, as it is so often depicted, but rather an active landscape with vibrational subtleties that reward deep listening, deep looking, and deep care. Hannah Spector is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, poet, and educator. They think of language as a solid object&mdash;a concrete and spatial expression that can overturn limiting perceptions of the everyday.Spector has shown their work at Transformer Gallery (DC), The CAM Perennial (TX), Stoveworks (TN), The Katzen (DC), and Women and Their Work (ATX). Spector&rsquo;s short films have won prizes at Dumbo Film Festival, Berlin Short Film Festival, and Bodega Film Festival. They have completed residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2024), Stoveworks (TN), and MoHa (ATX).They are an Assistant Professor of Time &amp; Technology at UT Austin and a member of the artist collective MASS Gallery. They curate the communal deep listening project, MASS Ambient.

Performed at Art Basel Miami, CURRENTS, and across North America. <br style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">PULSECODER<br style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Kyle Evans&rsquo; electronic music project crossing deep modular synthesis with chaotic digital glitch.
