AdWords™/Edward for ensemble with Google Glass, a commission of the Google Explorers project via Cynthia Johnston Turner, will be performed at the Georgia Museum of Art as part of the 2014 Spotlight on the Arts.
AdWords™/Edward, is dedicated to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
In it, performers *wink* to advance through a series of short, looped phrases displayed in their glasses…a performative (and stylistic) homage to Terry Riley’s “In C”, now celebrating its 50th Anniversary year.
