LEMURtron at Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

LEMURtron, our musical-robot-live-video-interactive-video-tracking installation, is now running through September 7th. And it's pretty amazing, if we say so ourselves...and we do. LEMURtron features over 20 musical robots, very cool interactive video projections by Luke DuBois, and a top-secret video tracking camera that lets you kick the video around and play the robots.

If you live in Pittsburgh, check it out and bring your kids, your friends and your friends' kids. Guaranteed to be fun for adults too. If you don't, why not make a trip of it and grab a Primante's sandwich and some O's fries while you're there.

ReSiDeNt Returns in August

After a three-month hiatus, ReSiDeNt, LEMUR's monthly creator-in-residence program returns in August. Why not July? Two reasons:

1...ReSiDeNt is now funded, thanks to a Greenwall grant! Each participating artist will receive an artist fee. Info on this will be posted soon on LEMUR's site. Since money talks, we want to give more time for submissions for the next round.

2...OK, the real reason - we're fresh out of robots, having sent them to the two aforementioned shows. But fear not: we're fastly and furiously building a whole new set of robots, which will be ready by August.

One more thing: Since four out of five NYC residents surveyed said they'll be at Burning Man on the last Friday in August, we'll be moving the August ReSiDeNt show to the next Friday, September 5th

Applications for this and future ReSiDeNt months are now open. Submissions for August are open through July 15th. Artists from all performing and installation disciplines are encouraged to apply to ReSiDeNt, including musicians, composers, dancers, choreographers, video artists, interactive installation artists, performance artists, multimedia artists and others. To learn about applying to ReSiDeNt, visit the RESIDENCIES link. Deadlines are rolling, and decisions are made shortly after the 15th of each month for the following month's residencies.
