[-empyre-] Week 2 Introduction

[Junting Huang]

Thanks to all of you who participated in the first week. As many of us, including myself, will be attending the SCMS conference next week in Toronto, responses may arrive a little late. But please feel free to jump in anytime and respond to the discussions we started in week 1. 

Meanwhile, we have three more guests to join us in week 2:

Eleonora Oreggia

Eleonora Oreggia (aka xname) is a London based interdisciplinary artist from Milan (IT), making performances and interactive installations. She studied at DAMS (Drama Art and Music Studies) in Bologna then worked in Amsterdam at NIMK (Netherlands Institute for Media Art) and at Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (NL). In London she has been awarded an MPhil from Goldsmiths College and is completing a fully funded PhD in Media & Arts Technology at Queen Mary University of London. Her live compositions transform light and other electromagnetic frequencies in sound waves through self-built synthesizers and complex semi chaotic machines.
