Chloe Gallagher - Interactive Director of Curbs and Stoops, an art accessibility think-?tank geared towards democratizing the access to fine art across a diverse range of socio-?economic and cultural communities: Like our name suggests, we believe art dialogue should be everywhere including the thresholds that define our cities; our curbs and our stoops. This way, engaging art is not a destination, like going to a museum. Instead, it is a part of a visual vernacular.
Tobias Berblinger - Since before Link Wray kicked in his speakers to get a "new" growling sound for his ubiquitous hit "Rumble" or Ike Turner's Rocket 88 with Willie Kizart's "damaged" amplifier blaring out a fuzzy sound, distortion has provided problems and benefits when electronically amplifying acoustic energy. This talk will focus on the beneficial effects of distortion, and why they happen.
