8.jpgFreestyle SoundHack - a workshop and performance with Jessica Thompson :: January 26, 2008; 1 - 5 pmM :: p|m Gallery, 1159 Dundas Street East, Suite 149, Toronto, Canada.

Freestyle SoundKits are wearable sound pieces that generate and broadcast electronic beats as users move through the urban environment. Freestyle SoundHack is a collaborative performance in the form of a workshop. During the performance, the artist will give her project to the public by teaching workshop participants how to make their own Freestyle SoundKits, to distribute as they wish, using whatever sounds they choose. Material fee: $20 (full kit), $10 (kit-amp).
For more info or to RSVP, please email info [at] pmgallery.ca.
