source file: mills2.txt Date: Sat, 16 Nov 1996 10:31:00 -0800 Subject: Acoustics of Cyberspace Lecture NYC 11/18/96 From: jmax@interport.net (John Maxwell Hobbs) I would like to invite you to my lecture: ACOUSTICS OF CYBERSPACE Parsons School of Design Monday November 18th, at 6:30pm 25 E. 13th Street, NYC Room 206. The lecture is free. There will be a RECEPTION to follow. The lecture will focus on the "Virtual Abbey" project I developed with David Hykes a year ago. With the help of Michel Redolphi and Luc Martinez at CIRM in Nice, we transported the acoustic environment of le Thoronet Abbey, a 12th century abbey in the south of France, to The Kitchen in New York City. The voices of the Harmonic Choir were digitally transmitted to the abbey, the reverberation of the abbey was then transmitted back to New York in real time, where the audience had the same acoustical experience as those who were in the real abbey in France. I will also discuss the potential for this kind of acoustical tranportation in the 21st century. Please join me -- we will have a small reception afterward.
