Real Virtuality (2017)
This project was in collaboration with Thomas Gerwin, connecting the DisPerSion Lab to
Germany. It explored varying modes of attention, including cross-continent gestural interaction between the ensembles. The event connected the lab with the Brandenburg New Music Festival in Potsdam, with performances by the EAO in collaboration with the Stream ensemble. Pieces for this group were created by Doug Van Nort (Canada) and Thomas Gerwin, John Rausek, and Sabine Vogel (Germany), and also included cross-site Soundpainting gestures involving Vogel and Van Nort.
