Gamelan X is headed to TED

Posted January 30th, 2009 by gamelanx

We're delighted to be traveling to Long Beach next week to premiere a new work at the 2009 TED Conference. In collaboration with UV-light dance-theater troupe ArcheDream for Humankind (adhk.org) we've created Flowering Anomalies, a piece inspired by the theme of this year's conference: The Great Unveiling. See the post below for an abstract of the new work. Performance time: Feb. 4, 2:15pm, Main Stage.

TED bound!

Flowering Anomalies

Curiouser and curiouser...

As time flows on, we seem to be coming into closer and closer contact with alien things: unusual technologies, foreign cultures, exotic ideas. This trend show no signs of abating; rather it appears to be displaying exponential growth. What doesn't these days?

If we take our aesthetic response to the world as a key factor in the way we frame and thus create reality, then we have a responsibility to seek a more familiar relationship with the unfamiliar. It's time to turn and face the strange - with vigor.
