FOCUS OF MITCHELL CENTER’S ‘SIGNAL OPERATORS’ AT UH From pop music composed on 1980s Commodore 64 computers to experimental film projects, the frontiers of sound and vision will be explored at the University of Houston during “Signal Operators: an audiovisual microfestival” at 8:00 p.m. Thursday, April 20 in the university’s Dudley Recital Hall. Presented by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at UH in collaboration with Aurora Picture Show, “Signal Operators” will feature performances and works by multi-media artists Golan Levin, Sue Costabile, Scott Arford, Dallas band Tree Wave, Tommy Becker and Rick Silva. This event is open to the public. Tickets are $8 and can be reserved by calling 713-868-2101. Among the works presented will be Levin’s “Scribble,” a semi-improvisational audiovisual concert featuring computer-generated imagery and sounds; Arford’s “TV-IV” that combines the sounds created from two television picture tubes fitted with microphones; and the music of Tree Wave who creates electronic pop using retro-computers. “Signal Operators will offer an incredible line-up of cutting edge artists,” said Karen Farber, managing director of the Mitchell Center. “We were thrilled to discover that we could join forces with this amazing media festival being offered by Aurora Picture Show.” The participating artists will also conduct a free multi-media panel discussion on audiovisual art at 1 p.m. Friday, April 21 in first-floor auditorium of the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture. This event is also open to the public. For more details, visit http://www.mitchellcenterforarts.org/public/PagRCCBD534432434.aspx
