Internally we are referring to him as The Integrator. Lief will be responsible for the integration of a variety of sensors: pressure, light, accelerometers etc., that we will be using in conjunction with a Teabox (from ElectroTap) and MAX/MSP. We are very excited and relieved to have found such capable hands to take care of this important aspect of our upcoming premiere performance.

August 02, 2006 HB Group of North Haven, CT has generously agreed to provide technical video and audio support for the residencies and performances at the Museum. We are grateful to Donald Guzauckas, Jr., general manager of HB, for his comittment to supporting the arts in our region. We have acquired custom video production gear from the studios of Dave Jones Design which will enable synchronous multi-channel DVD and video switching and display. Dave has produced the switcher to be compatible with MAX/MSP architecture and can be operated using manual triggering, MIDI interface or pre-programmed. Dave's most visible work has been with video artists Gary Hill, Diana Thater and Laurie Anderson. He's a wizard and very artist-friendly.
