Michael Century will discuss “The Times of New Media”
CRCA Visiting Scholar, Michael Century, will sketch out the basis for a closer dialog between new media art and contemporary music, focusing on differing and common approaches to the design of temporal structures.Century will review some of the theoretical literature in both fields, and present bridging concepts which can be applied in both music and new media art: “durational intensity”, or degree of interconnectivity between successive moments; and “distributed aesthetics”, which can be defined as experiences that are sensed, lived and produced in more than one place and time.
