ATC Revisited: Tarek Atoui
Last night Monday, March 10, Tarek Atoui gave a riveting talk on making instrumentation for the deaf and hard of hearing, and the DeafSpace Project developed by the Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. His talk touched upon recreating the sound of archived instruments, on origin of DeafSpace project as a way to connect the body of the performer to the body of audience as vibration, and how the insight of deaf students helped Tarek Atoui & artists to reconsider not just their relationship with each other but in space. Challenging the relationships between sound, vibrations, instruments, and the body, a lively Q&A discussion followed the lecture.
