Rova Saxophone Quartet returns to Kanbar Hall for another no-sounds-barred evening of improvisatory collaboration. Acclaimed Berlin-based multimedia artist/wunderkind Lillevan joins international music giants from the field of improvised music to perform Fissures, Futures, a set of pieces dedicated to the visionary genius that was Buckminster Fuller. Live music and digital animation will lock themselves into a continuous feedback loop – with the music influencing the real-time films’ creation and the film images inspiring the music. Not to be missed. Both shows will be recorded live for future DVD release.

ANDES SPROUTS SOCIETY (Andes, New York)
CALLING architects, artists, engineers to submit proposal
for sustainable studio/living units at ASsociety's meadow farmland.

ASsociety farm is looking for design submissions for 3 resident/studio
structures for its expanding artist in residency program. 3 free standing
structures will house resident artists as well as enhance existing farming
activities. ASsociety Resident artists will be engaged in developing media
art projects with crossover activities of emergent technologies and organic
farming.

This call out encourages collaboration between artists, architects
and engineers in order to demonstrate and promote unique, functional, and
inspiring approaches to sustainable design and post-crash housing
techniques.

ASsociety,a NYS not-for-profit entity, works toward the exchange of

CONCEPT 2 of 2:
Creating an Open Design Matrix for Realizing New Forms of Sustainable Innovation

The creation of 64 globally-aligned incubation centers are used to realize new and advanced forms of design and innovation relating to organizational practices and technologies that are symbiotic with natural rhythms and planetary culture. This innovation matrix will help to advance the design of communities using ‘whole system’ knowledge that is realized within the centers and shared world-wide. Ecological design principles and sustainable business practices are followed that adapt to the needs of a globally conscious society. An eighteen community domain learning framework is
used, along with a unique concentrix management process, to direct the centers within the innovation matrix. Collaborative learning methods are used to guide participants to create product and service solutions that support a diverse, interdependent, thriving world culture system.

The web link below will show you draft concepts that will direct the manifestation of these amazing new 'learning communities' and 'sustainable innovation' networks. I believe that these approaches hold seeds for realizing a world culture that is based in reverence, peace, and awe to emerge. It will unfold an exciting new journey for all of us; a new way for humanity to live and evolve.

Concept 1 of 2:
Building a World-wide Network of Learning Communities

I would like to see a unique form of collaboration and design network occur across the world. Its creation will be comprised of a model for bringing people together with common passions and interests who want to participate in the changes at hand, both at the visionary and practical levels of implementation. The frameworks for gathering and connecting people will be very open, allow for group and individual empowerment, be guided by principles of sustainability and collaborative learning, and allow those with knowledge and wisdom to lead rather than those with (so-called) power strength and money, and (rather than our present unhealthy forms for discussing and debating) it will be based on an open dialogue system for sharing and learning from a world of people who are wealthy with ideas. Together, from community-to-community, we will create a wonderful new reality.
