Art Lecture: DJ Spooky

DJ Spooky
Paul D. Miller

He had an interesting lecture, that was a mix of him talking about his work and performing his work. His work is taken from his environment, going up to Alaska to study the snow, and create music from the snow. He has interesting books, one about his trip to Alaska, which he created an equation to translate the patterns in the snow into music, another book was about imaginary apps, as he had asked a bunch of artists to create a fake app, but to only make the icon, so as a viewer would guess what the app was about, and more. The performance I had enjoyed too, bringing in 4 students to play strings, after sending his composition ahead of time for them to learn, while he mixes his music along side of there performance was interesting.
