5:30 SMA Year-in-Review Slideshow, SMA Auditorium 5:45 Remarks and Proposed Acquisitions, SMA Auditorium 6:30 Refreshments, Music, Voting; SMA Central Court 7:30 Acquisition Announcement SMA Central Court Music: Reflection/ Projection is an installation that explores the process of reflection through the medium of sound. Different sound-fields emerge from six audio channels located throughout the Central Court. Listeners are encouraged to contribute to the sound environment by reading excerpts into a recording microphone that will then be looped and projected into the sound field. Video: Myself, Myself, Myself is a video installation composed of public participants who individually recite the word "myself". The catalouge of faces creates a repetition of images that result in an exploration of how language and appearance interact with identity.
