2. ICE-Vision: Greaser's Palace (Robert Downey Sr., 1972)
Thursday, March 22 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Approaching the life of Christ with a sensibility informed equally by Bunuel and Mad magazine,
Greaser's Palace stars Allan Arbus as a Zoot-suited Christ figure who parachutes into a frontier
town run by tyrannical saloon proprietor Albert Henderson. Arbus just wants to sing and dance,
but he soon finds himself healing the sick, resurrecting the dead, tap-dancing on water, and
fending off the advances of frontier little person Herve Villechaize and his transvestite wife." -AV
Club

7. Performance: The Many Faces of Divas
Thursday, March 22 at 8 PM
Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall
In most operas, the roles created by the male figures primarily represent in the plot either the
hero, villain, lover, priest, brother or father. These characters are often one dimensional in contrast
to all of the female roles who are given a much wider emotional range to represent and to portray
creating a storyline that usually revolves almost totally around this female figure due to the fact
that her emotions and desires are the motivating factors for most of the action in one way or
another. While preparing this concert, we had hoped to be able to utilize only the operas named
after these powerful ladies (Turandot, Carmen, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, Suor Angelica, Manon,
Lucia di Lammermoor, etc.) but eventually found that to be able to cover the gamut of human
emotions from the naive love of a teenager to the mad ravings of a murderess, we needed to
include some of the strong female roles from the rest of the repertoire as well. This evening's
concert attempts to display the wide variety of emotions expressed by these central figures in full
and obvious bloom. The primary emotion desired by each character is indicated in the program
after the title for your evaluation and understanding of the music's intention. We hope that you will
enjoy this challenge for our singers to live up to the beautiful singing, sensitive acting, and
emotional rollercoaster honoring these 'Divas' that is opera at its best.

9. Lecture: Katrin Sigurdardottir
Tuesday, March 27 at 5:30 PM
(rescheduled from its original date of 2/27)
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S151
In her work, Katrin Sigurdardottir examines distance and memory and their embodiments in
architecture, urbanism, cartography and traditional landscape representations. Sometimes there is
a mnemonic aspect to the work, i.e. making the work is a process of spatial recall. The places
created are frequently based on real places, points of departure, arrival or passage, places as
minute at their spatial and temporal distance as the models she make of them. While alluding to
real locations, her works question the verity of these places, as well as our account of them.

15. Course Announcement: Interactive Art (Sound)
Focus on Sound (ARST 3850 / 4850 / 6800)
Professor: Dr. Eric Marty
Fall 2012, MWF 3:35-5:30 PM
An introduction to interactive art, with a special focus on sound for Fall 2012. This studio course
examines the role of interactivity in installation and performance, and covers basic principles of
interactive design, design in time and sound design. We examine important historical works of
interactive art alongside selected groundbreaking works of the new century. Through lectures,
projects, critiques and discussion, students learn to engage in critical discourse about interactive
art and sound art.
We will deal primarily with interactive environments, particularly sound environments. Topics
include sound spatialization, sonification, sensor systems, Kinect and camera-based computer
vision, audio sensing, and generative and reactive environments. The course serves as an
introduction to Max, a visual programming and authoring environment for interactive media
(audio, video and graphics, kinetics, sensors, etc)
Course offered through the department of Art X: Expanded Forms, Lamar Dodd School of Art. Open
to students from all disciplines. No prior experience in either digital art or sound is required.
