About this episode

This episode introduces the new Pegasus Project, focusing on analogue projection instruments and youth engagement through art and technology.

In this episode the new Pegasus Project is introduced which involves the fabrication of a new generation of analogue projection instruments, the creation of an ensemble of light artists, the collaboration with an ensemble of singers and a tour of schools and youth groups. Reflecting on current screen culture and technology use among young people an unusual area of opportunity presents itself here, something highlighted by testimony from young people who have been involved in earlier iterations of the project. The project timeline and opportunities for collaboration and support are described as well. References: https://www.centerforvisualmusic.org/ Veit, W.; Stuten, J.
