SPECIAL EVENTS

Fresh Arts hosts artists from varying disciplines to present creative presentations about their work in an informal environment. Dialogue is encouraged so the audience can glean further insight into the artist, the artist's aesthetic and creative process. Drinks and nosh are served at 6:30; formal talks are underway at 7:00. Guests are invited to come and go as necessary.

June's Fresh Arts Artist SPEAKeasy features Troy Stanley and team from the Singularity Transmissions project and interdisciplinary group {exurb}. Join us for a fun and fascinating discussion with both of these interdisciplinary groups.

About Singularity Transmissions:
“Singularity transmissions” is a sculptural interactive tower designed to simultaneously converge the voices of up to 15 individuals into one unified transmission through the use of tin-can phones.

Houston artist Troy Stanley has pulled together a team of artists, engineers, and dreamers to create this monumental 40-foot tall sculpture with a 100x100-ft footprint with audio recording equipment that has the capacity of recording 15 tracks simultaneously and glow on the desert playa of Burning Man 2012, an annual art event and temporary community based on radical self expression and self-reliance in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.
