This is the week I had really been looking forward to. We were finally going down to the IMP Labs (link below). The cool part about the IMP Labs is that they have tons of Midi controllers, turn tables and other cool audio gadgets that you can play around with every Tuesday and Thursday after 6pm. Unfortunately the lecture was painfully boring. I thought the class was going to be on DJing and it ended up being about Charity Marsh's work with inner-city kids using the IMP labs. It didnt really give me any insight into what the IMP labs are all about just information on something the IMP labs is involved in. I was pretty disappointed, as a person who always wanted to check out the IMP labs.
Owen Chapman was the guest lecturer who came to the second class in the IMP labs. Owen chatted with the class about his project that used every days sounds and extracted them to a site for people to listen to all over the world using their site and its interface. I thought the idea was really cool if thats what you're into.http://www.interactivemediaandperformance.com/
