Sound artists MAKING THEIR OWN MUSIC INSTRUMENTS or USE EXISTING INSTRUMENTS IN A NON-CONVENTIONAL WAY are invited to take part in an event that will connect LE LABORATOIRE D’ART (Media Art Center) in TORONTO and the curator's residence in OSAKA via iCHAT™ videoconferencing application.
Each selected artist from Osaka will be paired with an artist from Toronto, and both will be invited to communicate with each other via email in order to prepare for a LIVE EVENT, where the different units will perform their IMPROVISED MUSIC COLLABORATION in front of audience at LE LABORATOIRE D’ART; the artist from Toronto will be physically present at the center, and the Osaka artist will appear to the public as a video projection.
The event should take place in OCTOBER 2007.
