Lisa Dorin, AIC Associate Curator in Contemporary Art
Ken Fandell, artist, SAIC Professor and Photo Department Chair
Bill Fontana, artist and William and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Professor for SoundSculpture
Anna Friz, artist and Post-doctoral Fellow in the Department of Sound

The event was part of the Sound Department’s Weekly Colloquium series and co-sponsored with the SAIC Sculpture Department. It was streamed live on Free Radio SAIC. (Audio excerpts from the live stream may be available here in the future.)
