Music Technology: Interaction, Intelligence & Design is an interdisciplinary program at Cal Arts focusing on technologies for the creation of sonic and visual art. KarmetiK is a think tank of artists and engineers exploring a digital renaissance, seeking to question and redefine the boundaries between music, the visual arts, and technology. Together they will present a "digital dream world" of musical and visual performance, displaying interfaces and robotics of their own design. This promises to be a remarkable presentation of new sonic and visual techniques and technology.
