Hosted by Bowerbird and Soundfield are pleased to present the world premiere of three new works by composer and director Gene Coleman.
The evening opens with presentations by architect and artist Jenny Sabin and two leading scientists from the University of Pennsylvania (Dr. Shu Yang and Dr. Randall Kamien). Together they will provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of cutting edge nano-to-macro scale technologies based on a very surprising source: Kirigami - the traditional Japanese art of folded and cut paper.
Beginning the night, a presentation by Dr. Shu Yang, Dr. Randall Kamien and Jenny Sabin on their NSF project, using Kirigami as the basis for nano-to-macro scale technologies. For more details on the program for the event, visit http://www.bowerbird.org/newsite/events/141107/
