Sound + Science Symposium + nanos+ theory + Border Crossing

Hola all,

I will drifting about - perhaps I will catch sight of you at one of these gatherings.

I will be presenting "Sounding out the Matter Market" from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, March 5 in the California NanoSystems Institute Auditorium at UC Los Angeles:
Sound + Science Symposium
March 5 + 6, 2009 10am-7pm

The UCLA Art | Sci Center + Lab and the University of California Digital Arts Research Network (UCDARnet) proudly announces the Sound + Science Symposium - a trans-disciplinary exploration of scientific research and technological breakthroughs concerned with sound, hearing, and aurality. This two-day event will bring together leading figures to discuss the applications and implications of such research in relation to questions of culture, politics, history, environment, art, and music.
