Ted Hayes and Lindsey Case: Ophos.
Special Event: April 27, 2013. 7pm - 10pm.
Ophos comments on both the nature of our relationship to sound and sonic environments as well as our relationship to our planetary environment: Ophos is synthesized out of our plastic refuse: discarded bottles and containers coalesced into a new lifeform who we will briefly occupy.
Produced in collaboration with Lindsey Marcelle Case, chef, bakeress and food-writer.
Ted Hayes is a hacker-poet, conceiving objects and experiences that explore the sublime and the enigmatic through recombination, emergence and deconstruction. He is a proponent of what he has dubbed “Research Art,” or art as science experiment: a work driven by questions, but without obvious conclusions, that raises new questions while enveloping and engaging the audience. Ted’s works range from a group of language-inventing robots to a mythological city-founding ritual for soprano and string quartet, is a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, and is recently the recipient of a New Radio and Performing Arts commission. Ted has spoken on the subject of Research Art and Language Machines at TEDxGallatin, Crossing Arts Gallery and Dorkbot.
