Lecture
Columbia University, New York
 
I was invited to speak to a class in the Graduate School of Architecture. Instead of a conventional lecture, I presented this work-in-progress. I have the students respond to the contemporary composer Alvin Lucier's 1969 piece 'I Am Sitting in A Room', and to a live mix I create which mingles various off-site classroom ambiences in different languages with the on-site ambience. It is conceived to adjoin with another coming presentation.

This work is an investigation on how we interfere with and orchestrate our listening environment. In this work-in-progress, the edited feedback from the students and instructor is paralleled with the on-site live mix.
