Paul Rucker @ CHAC Tonight
This evening at CHAC, one of our artists, Paul Rucker, will be participating in a forum on Experimentation along with a bio engineer, a physicist, and a teacher.
Paul will be featured at McLeod Residence in January with an interactive multimedia installation. The piece, Untitled, Three Lasers, involves a set of lasers encased in a glass box full of smoke. Three holes cut into the glass allow participants to interact and break the beams, each of which are associated with a musical composition.
Buster and I will be attending the forum tonight, and I hope you can join us! It would be great to give Paul the support.
See you there?
Lele

This episode: "Experiment"
Monday, December 11, from 7 to 9 pm
Admission is free. Tell your friends.
This conversation series happens at the Lower Level, adjacent to the
CHAC Lounge, in the basement of the Capitol Hill Arts Center
(http://www.capitolhillarts.com), at 1621 - 12th Ave, Seattle - just
below the sign for Crave.
The guests:
Paul Rucker, composer, musician, and visual artist
Ilya Shmulevich, bioengineer and pianist
John G. Cramer, physicist and novelist
Victor Larson, teacher and child development counselor
We're ending the year with a typically excellent lineup of guests, along with a fascinating topic. This time we'll be talking about experiment, the fundamental way in which we learn and develop culture, whether as children, artists, scientists, artisans, cooks, and so on. How does experiment work? Is successful experiment synonymous with progress? What does it mean for an experiment to fail? If a 21st century experimental film looks a lot like a film from the 1920s, does that make it any less of an experiment? Is scientific experiment qualitatively different from the experiments of everyday life? The guests include an experimental musician and composer, two scientists who are working on the frontiers of quantum physics and computational biology, and a counselor with a deep experience of how children experiment. As always, we also want to draw from your experience and passion.
