I went to school at RPI, but unfortunately wasn't around when this was completed. Though I got to go back and get a tour. Really cool facility.<br><br>RPI's mostly an engineering school with not a lot of artistic outlet. So most of the artistic projects they do end up being highly geeked-out.<br>

CCRMA, The Knoll Building, Classroom, 2nd floor<br>
<br>
A presentation of one of the latest and very largest facilities<br>
dedicated to the intersection of human experience, human or machine<br>
action and the digital domain.<br>
<br>
EMPAC is located at RPI, Troy, NY and online at <a href="http://empac.rpi.edu/" target="_blank">http://empac.rpi.edu/</a><br>
<br>

<br>
Johannes Goebel, EMPAC director (also long-standing CCRMA colleague)<br>
will introduce EMPAC as architecture and technical instrument and he<br>
will talk about projects and research, events and productions. A new<br>
position of director for research is seeking applicants and he will<br>
describe the opportunity.<br>
<br>
EMPAC opened in the fall of 2008 after 8 years in the making. The<br>
220,000 square foot facility is dedicated to “Experimental Media and<br>
Performing Arts”. The goal was to build a center for arts, science and<br>
engineering that respects fully the requirement of our human senses<br>
while providing a state-of the art infrastructure for that which<br>
communicates between the digital and experiential domains.<br>
<br>
"The venues and studios are built to accommodate any group size between<br>
2 and 1200 for artistic, immersive, augmented or whatever reality you<br>
live in (even if you would like to fly through the physical<br>
three-dimensional space under real-time, interactive computer control or<br>
if you need to lift your truck up 50 feet controlled by you playing a<br>
flute)."<br>
<br>
A scholar in residence program is starting, artist residencies are<br>
already in a quite dense sequence – and a director for research position<br>
waits to get filled.<br>
