VISUAL-MUSIC & FULLDOME EXPERIENCES – Wednesday Oct. 18th, Concordia University

VISUAL-MUSIC & TRANSDISCIPLINARY FULLDOME EXPERIENCES
A lecture by Ricardo Dal Farra

Early experiments in visual-music were joining new technologies with an explosion of innovative explorations in creating new forms of art.

Surfing between cinema, video-art, expanded and new media forms, 2D and 3D animation, sound art, concert or electroacoustic music,

visual-music started to find a place also in planetariums and other fulldome spaces.
