The School of Art, Art History & Design is pleased to welcome Andy Cavatorta as a Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist, and as a featured artist and presenter at the the Mid America College Art Association Conference, October 4-6.

Andy Cavatorta is a Brooklyn-based sculptor who combines robotic technologies with form, motion, and sound. His work explores performance, technologically mediated emotions, and opportunities to express the previously inexpressible. His talk is about the surprising history of music and technology, his own work, the pleasures and perils of working in unexplored spaces, and the importance of fake rules. He is a graduate of the MIT Media Lab, and recipient of the Lincoln Prize. Recent collaborations include Björk and Matthew Herbert. Recent commissions include MoMA, TED, The Royal Opera House, Vice, and Stella Artois.

Andy Cavatorta’s talk is free and open to the public.
