The Potential of Any Sound: Nathan Wolek at TEDxFulbright

Nathan Wolek is an Audio Artist, Researcher and Associate Professor of Digital Arts and Chair of the Creative Arts Department at Stetson University in DeLand, FL. He is currently a Fulbright Scholar spending 6 months in Bergen, Norway. Nathan Wolek is the music director of the new media collective MPG: mobile performance group, which was founded by video artist Matt Roberts. The group is dedicated to the ideal of presenting audiovisual art outside of traditional venues. They engage the public using laptops, video projection, camcorders, mp3 recorders, wireless routers, mobile phones and other technologies.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
