We will be hosting a matralab explore session on Wednesday, January 15th at 5-7 pm at matralab (EV 4.502).
We are pleased to welcome Vanessa Massera who will be speaking about her work.
For those of you who are new to these sessions – matralab explore is a series of 5 a 7 events where artist-researchers will present their thoughts on a work in progress. The series was conceived as an open and supportive forum to discuss artistic issues around a current project with peers. We have experienced many memorable evenings of discussion and collegiality.

She explores various methods of integrating different media and explores the different meanings and implications of environment within and without music.
