A
video work by Samantha DiRosa, assistant professor of art, will be
screened at the upcoming New Music Festival at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro on Oct. 24 in the UNCG School of Music Recital Hall. The piece, titled Notturno, is a collaborative video/sound project with composer Ryan
Hare.
The music is two excerpted movements from Hare’s Sinfonia: Six Pieces in
Memoriam John Cage (2000).
DiRosa’s accompanying video consists of footage captured from the Costa Rican
rain forest and the Museum of Natural History in New York, purposely recorded
at a slow frame rate with a low-resolution digital still camera. Akin to her
earlier work, issues surrounding the technological mediation of nature and
experience manifest in a collage of pixelated moving images.
$10 public, $6 seniors, $3 students.
