Free State Festival kicks off with renowned multimedia artist Dario Robleto’s immersive meditation on three “firsts” in the history of recording: the first time live music and singing were recorded, the first time brain waves were recorded in a dream state, and the first time a human heartbeat was recorded while listening to music. Commissioned by the Spencer Museum of Art, the 53-minute film is preceded by live music by Alex Kimball Williams and followed by Q&A with the artist. This screening features live audio description by the Audio-Reader Network and American Sign Language interpretation. Doors open at 7:00PM /Screening 7:30–8:30PM / Q&A with the artist 8:30–9:00PM.
