Activist Imagination and Drumming

A few announcements. I have been working in the studio while trying to get over a relentless virus. You know that one everyone has been getting that starts off with a sore throat and then terrible sinus pain and drainage, low energy and just feeling yucky for about 3 weeks. Well, I have been busy in spite of it all.

First, "Activist Imagination", the project I have been working on for the last year is finally opening. I will be showing new interactive sculpture with sound. I am having lots of fun with simple analog electronics. Seems easier than controlling everything with a PC for some reason. Perhaps the project after this one, I'll give that a try.

Here are some deets if you can't read the postcard. Feel free to download and pass the postcard around.
