Event Details

Artist, composer and sound designer Mark McCoin presents several multi-media 
visual/sound performance installations in collaboration with designers, technology
specialists and performance artists.
The multi-media technology includes: 
- Microscope camera projecting biological images onto large white spheres in real time 
- Multiple round screens simultaneously serving as drums and screens for montage of projected 
video and stills 
- Animated images projecting on animated 3D sculptural, shaped surfaces 
- Live hands playing rhythm duet with video hands 

McCoin commented on his production, "When the piece begins to reveal itself and take on
its own life, the ecstasy begins. Soon the work is telling you something important; perhaps
something about your nature or past that is meaningful, and if you’re lucky, universal."

Mark McCoin is an MFA 2009 candidate of CU-Boulder’s
Department of Art and Art History and an instructor in Film Studies.

Note: The approximate 1.5 hour evening includes a talkback/discussion with the artist/producer.

ATLAS Institute (Alliance for Technology, Learning and Society) is an innovative campus-wide initiative in education, research, creative work and outreach in which information and communication technology is the enabling force.

 

ATLAS programs bring together students, educators, artists, writers, scholars and leaders from the academy, industry, non-profits and government to create a multidisciplinary environment that contributes to the understanding of the interaction of ICT and human society, and to the realization of the full potential of that interaction.

 

ATLAS offers a Technology, Arts and Media (TAM) minor for undergraduates, a masters degree in Information and Communication Technology for Development (MS-ICTD), a certificate in digital arts and sciences through Boulder Digital Works, and a Ph.D. in Technology, Media and Society.

 

The ATLAS building is home to the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), ATLAS Assessment & Research Center, ATLAS Speaker Series and CU's Film Studies Program. Visit: http://atlas.colorado.edu.
