Cleveland's annual Ingenuity Festival of Art and Technology is taking
place this weekend in the Playhouse Square area in downtown Cleveland.
 The festival features a long list of innovative performances,
installations, and exhibits throughout Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
High tech firms, NASA, major colleges and universities will dazzle and
engage attendees with their latest scientific innovations. Performing
and visual artists are working alongside other world-class artists
from around the globe to create original performances.

And here are some other interesting aspects to the event that should
be of special interest to Experimedia friends and fans.

Crooked River, in 1st and 3rd Persons by Spurse with collaborators
David Jensenius and Sean White, New York, N.Y.
This is a phonography installation setup at various stations
throughout the festival.  Tune in to the sonic path of the Cuyahoga
River as it courses through the urban grid of Cleveland. Eavesdrop at
live listening posts along the river to hear something unexpected.
Engage with multiple histories of the river as you trace its flows
through time.

Evolution Control Committee from San Francisco, California. Mad
geniuses or copyright criminals? For more than 20
years, The Evolution Control Committee has been making musical
copyright violations, playing their custom-built Thimbletron and
polishing their own music genre ("Mashup") with a reputation for
party-science performances that are not to be missed!

Toenjes-Marchant-Smith: Inventions Suite from Urbana, Illinois. A
magical theatrical experience inspired by the question of
the artist's connection to technology and man's connection to machine!
Inventions Suite is a 60-minute interactive work that explores
(through a cyclical combination of video activated by music, music
prompted by movement, and new improvised responses by both dancer and
musician) the advent of computer-interface dance and the challenges
and inspiration it sparks in these improvised dance/music
performances.

If you have a chance to attend this please do. This region does not
get many great events like this and would like to see this festival
continue to happen and get better every year.
