| Description: |
The Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) and the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Cube Fest 2018 with a performance by Dustin Wong and Takako Minekawa on Sunday, August 12, 2018. Based in Tokyo, Japan, Dustin Wong and Takako Minekawa are part of a growing DIY community, frequently performing in smaller spaces such as Nanahari, Fuchi-kuchi and Ochiai Soup. Their artistic focus is to create the unexpected. It is a scene that encourages this adventurousness. Wong and Minekawa use their considerable technical skill to create the psychedelic, surreal, and conceptual—and with dexterity and inventiveness. While Minekawa still contributes to J-Pop releases and Wong is still connected to his Baltmore roots, their joyous collaboration is as delightful and challenging as it is innovative. Admission is $10.00 for the general public and free for Virginia Tech students.

Cube Fest 2018, occurring from August 9–12, 2018, is a spatial music festival with performances for the public and a VIP package of hands-on, behind-the-scenes, and creative opportunities for fellow revolutionists. Cube Fest brings together a group of 20 international audio technology experts, computer engineers, music technology experts, musicians, and composers who will present performances of original compositions created for the Cube and preexisting works, including music by the late David Bowie.
