Tarek Atoui: Empty Cans

For more information and tickets:
http://www.newmuseum.org/events/351


Tarek Atoui is an electro-acoustic musician who creates a distinctive soundscape using digital technology in intensely expressive performances. Using dedicated programs of his own design for each composition, Atouis experimental practice draws on traditions of electronic music, performance art, and digital technology to create a unique method of working across disciplines and social groups.

At the New Museum, Atoui will work with twenty teens from the Museums G:Class high school program and New York Citys Department of Parks and Recreation RECYouth summer youth program. During the workshop, teens will view previous Empty Cans videos and develop and execute their own video and sound concepts, building tools for self-expression. Participants will also develop and rehearse individual roles using the Wii controllers to manipulate the video for the culminating performance at the Museum August 8, 2009 at 3 pm.
