Description:
The School of Performing Arts and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology at Virginia Tech continues their 2024 Fall New Music + Technology Festival on Thursday, October 3, 2024 inside The Cube within The Moss Arts Center.

The the New Music + Technology Festival showcases the ever-broadening field of music technology, focusing on new compositions and performance systems. Since its inception in 2021, the New Music + Technology Festival has presented multi- and interdisciplinary performances while furthering research at the nexus of music, theatre, cinema, dance, visual art, creative coding, computer science, neuroscience, molecular biology, robotics, and cyber security.

ArtX — which stands for art, research, and technology exchange — will present an interdisciplinary, film-forward projection piece by Irish artists, Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty, from the University of Galway. This festival screening is part of the new international, collaborative ArtX program, which is housed in ICAT.

Festival Director and Founder Kyle Hutchins, who additionally serves as ArtX’s director, says that the “mission of the program is to take creative scholarship and research, the study of live performance, and original works that Virginia Tech’s ICAT fellows and faculty are making for the Cube, and find new avenues to share it moving forward.”

Admission is free though reservations are required due to limited seating.

The festival will run October 1st-4th at the Creativity and Innovation District living-learning community and in The Cube within the Moss Arts Center and will showcase innovations in the field of music technology and spatial audio, including a new international partnership founded by the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT). All performances on this festival are completely free, but all located within The Cube require reservations.

The Creativity and Innovation District LLC Building is located at 185 Kent Street in Blacksburg, VA on the campus of Virginia Tech.
