    • Bring your own musical instrument! Join the EMPAC Research program for a hands-on workshop exploring Pauline Oliveros’ Expanded Instrument System (EIS) with introductions by Michael Century, Stephanie Loveless, and Jonas Braasch. Under continual development since 1965, the system is a series of computer-generated delays that process acoustic and vocal sounds, offering musicians, composers, and the curious ways to explore improvisations and compositions using sonic manipulation.
    • SYMPOSIA
    • May 15–16, 2023 / Studio 2
    • symposium, OPEN-TO-CAMPUS
    • Gameful And Immersive Learning Symposium
    • The Gameful and Immersive Learning Symposium presents innovative methods and technologies for teaching such as reward systems that encourage engagement, adaptive content that personalizes learning for individual students, and human-scale immersive environments that place students within the material’s authentic contexts. Using combinations of these can create impactful educational experiences. This two-day symposium offers invited talks by field experts, panel discussions with Rensselaer community members, and workshops for creating, curating, and facilitating these types of learning experiences. Symposium events are held in both the EMPAC Theatre and in Studio 2, where the immersive Panoramic Screen is installed. This work is supported by the Rensselaer Provost Office for Undergraduate Education and is free and open to Rensselaer Faculty and Staff. Register
