2. The Electrofunk Mixtape: Illuminus Edition is the result of a
collaboration between the STEAM Lab at the Boston Arts Academy
(BAA), Boston-based sculptor Brian Browne, and the “Phil Spector of
noise,” Hank Shocklee. Electronics, music, and video projection will
be layered on 3D objects that will hang or be worn by performers.
Visitors will witness -- and participate in -- a responsive and highly
visible 3D art installation that will respond to music and movement
and light.
