Here is one of the artists who’ll be appearing at the event.

Brian Alexander is an artist and maker from Michigan. His project, the Synescope, is a graphic-to-audio instrument where the player paints, draws, or manipulates graphic content on a turntable platter which then moves under sensors that change the sound output to create auditory textures.
