Winifred Smith Hall; Admission is free.

This concert premieres new works that explore the artistic potentials of networking technologies with performers in San Diego and Irvine, linked through low-latency, CD-quality audio and high definition video. Each work on this evening's program takes a different approach to the telematic stage and the questions it raises: aesthetic, philosophical and technical.

The concert will feature compositions by Christopher Dobrian, Michael Dessen (trombone), and Shahrokh Yadegari (Lila) in collaboration with media artist John Crawford, bassist Mark Dresser, trumpeter Edwin Harkins and other special guests.

The concert is a presentation of the 2009 Digital Art and Culture Conference at UC Irvine in collaboration with the Gassmann Electronic Music Series and presents research that is funded in part by a grant from the Intel/UCI People and Practices Research Initiative.
