Friday, November 9, as an extension of our annual fundraiser, Kinesis, we're opening up Innovation Hall to the entire community to celebrate with us. Join us for musical performances, an art + technology exhibition including local and international artists, drinks in the brand new restaurant The Chocolate Pig, and be the first to explore the new Innovation Hall space in the Cortex district.
Innovation Hall is on the first floor of 4220 Duncan Ave. in in the Cortex District.
A program of Venture Café St. Louis, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, Innovation Hall is a platform for St. Louis’ innovation community. We are a collaborative, innovative event venue, public workspace, and programming hub designed to bring people together at every level.
Alexis Langevin-Tétrault builds a network of strings with which he interacts to create a sound universe between the industrial noise, electronica and acousmatic music. Interférence (String Network) is an audiovisual performance that explores the possibilities of embodiment of an electroacoustic work in real time through gestural interaction with a unique device. On stage, an audioreactive play of light unfolds gradually.
Pamela Z is a composer/performer and media artist who works primarily with voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound, and video. A pioneer of live digital looping techniques, she processes her voice in real time to create dense, complex sonic layers. Her solo works combine experimental extended vocal techniques, operatic bel canto, found objects, text, digital processing, and wireless MIDI controllers that allow her to manipulate sound with physical gestures.
Head Dress is the moniker of Ted James Butler, sound artist and host of long-running cassette-based experimental music podcast Norelco Mori. With releases on labels such as Audio Visual Atmosphere (BE), Black Horizons (USA), Cønjuntø Vacíø (ES), Phinery (DK) and now Granulart Records (ES), Head Dress has garnered support from techno heavyweights such as Oscar Mulero, Regis and Substance.
Disnovation's Predictive Art Bot is an algorithm that turns the latest headlines into artistic concepts. The program caricatures the predictability of media influenced artistic concepts, by automating and skirting the human creative process. But beyond mere automation, it aims to stimulate unbridled, counter-intuitive and even disconcerting associations of ideas.
