About Orchestra
The UNC-Charlotte College of Arts + Architecture Digital Arts Center brings together 60+ artists, designers & performers for a multimedia, interactive, electroacoustic extravaganza at the Charlotte Art League. A collaboration among students and professionals, dys/connect occurs at the intersections of sound & semblance, digital & analog, observation & action. Your Neighborhood Orchestra also has a set at the end of each show with added firepower from UNCC Wind ensemble students!
The 1hr program features live & electronic music made visible through contemporary dance & projections of imagery & animation in a series of rapid vignettes. Participation transcends passivity, as audience members are invited to play original video games with live acoustic accompaniment or call forth invisible artworks through AR technology. Above the activity, an acoustical sculpture of mushroom-based matter will shape the sound while demonstrating the application of a new environmentally responsible building material..
