I will show two sand pieces at SMC.
With the latest software I have improved the 'feel' of the piece (i.e. the impression made by each trace cycle), simplified the care for the sand, and allowed to run several pieces from the same computer. I might next install a macmini in the pieces rather that using an external powerbook. This would be a nice touch, and allow for a flexible interface and easy maintenance once the piece is connected to the internet.

My sand pieces have a new generic name: "aniccata" (sanskrit for impermanence).
They are readily accepted as healing art in an appropriate context. This is good.
They are also much more than that.

Oxford department of astrophysics also has an artist in residence.
October 7, opening at the KITP, dedication of a new wing, twenty five years anniversary of the institute, celebration of David Gross' Nobel prize timely announced the day before, and a three days conference on the future of physics.
I present fifty pi
eces in a solo show plus fifteen pieces permanently installed as their collection. For the length of the conference I displayed two sand pieces, one playing music after the sand traces (created with Ioannis Zannos).

The sand of changes, with sounds.
We recorded our first two pieces with Ioannis Zannos on Aug31.
Within the next few weeks we will incrementally evolve our first sounds into music. We are composing music from motion (gestures) and geometry (lines). It is all about time and space of course.
