Thought you guys might find this interesting...


Thursday, January 21, 5pm
CCRMA, The Knoll Building, Classroom, 2nd floor

A presentation of one of the latest and very largest facilities
dedicated to the intersection of human experience, human or machine
action and the digital domain.

EMPAC is located at RPI, Troy, NY and online at http://empac.rpi.edu/

_____________________________________________________________________

Johannes Goebel, EMPAC director (also long-standing CCRMA colleague)
will introduce EMPAC  as architecture and technical instrument and he
will talk about projects and research, events and productions. A new
position of director for research is seeking applicants and he will
describe the opportunity.

EMPAC opened in the fall of 2008 after 8 years in the making.  The
220,000 square foot facility is dedicated to “Experimental Media and
Performing Arts”. The goal was to build a center for arts, science and
engineering that respects fully the requirement of our human senses
while providing a state-of the art infrastructure for that which
communicates between the digital and experiential domains.

"The venues and studios are built to accommodate any group size between
2 and 1200 for artistic, immersive, augmented or whatever reality you
live in (even if you would like to fly through the physical
three-dimensional space under real-time, interactive computer control or
if you need to lift your truck up 50 feet controlled by you playing a
flute)."

A scholar in residence program is starting, artist residencies are
already in a quite dense sequence – and a director for research position
waits to get filled.
