Humanities Instructional Building
This visit is part of David Byrne's West Coast tour, which
includes the Portland Art Museum, UC Berkeley and UC Santa
Barbara. He gave a similar lecture last year at LACMA to
a sold-out audience. Best known as a musician (co-founder
of the Talking Heads and Academy Award-winning film composer),
David Byrne started out as an art student, attending both
the Rhode Island School of Design and Maryland Institute
College of Art. He began using PowerPoint as an artistic
medium a few years ago and has created a number of stand-alone
art pieces that have been exhibited in galleries and museums
and installed publicly, and are also included in his 2003
book/DVD Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information.
Byrne's PowerPoint projects earned him a Wired RAVE Award
for Art last year.
Free
and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served
basis and is not guaranteed.
