Michael Theodore’s “The (Art) Machines are Coming” part of 鶹ѰBoulder Next

Michael Theodore points to a large cartoon drawing that he drew of a man at a piano and another man holding loud and soft signs.
Michael Theodore, director of the ATLAS Institute’s Center for Media Arts and Performance (CMAP) and an associate professor of composition in the College of Music, will speak in Washington D.C. on April 21 about the special relationship artists have with technology. The talk is part of 鶹ѰBoulder Next, a series of events that bring the university’s cutting-edge research to select cities across the country.

A multimedia artist, Theodore’s presentation, "The (Art) Machines are Coming," is an overview of how he uses computer code for music compositions, object fabrication and creating immersive sound and light installations.

“What’s fun about composing with code is that instead of writing note by note, you can direct streams and flows of information and see where they lead,” says Theodore, who also spoke at 鶹ѰBoulder Next in Los Angeles in February.

The interactive afternoon of learning, hosted by the Office of the Chancellor, showcases 鶹ѰBoulder’s people, programs and research, with a focus on how 鶹ѰBoulder impacts society by leading innovation and developing leaders of tomorrow.

Theodore’s work, including interactive kinetic installations, moving images and musical compositions, have been presented across the United States and in 10 different countries around the world. He has also created large-scale sound/art installations with roboticist Nikolaus Correll and touring pieces with performance artist Michelle Ellsworth.
