Sound Art: Audio-visual Design, Installation, & Sculpture is a week-long intensive workshop aimed at a hands on approach to working with sound in relation to artistic practices, co-taught by Nolan Len and Stephanie Sherriff. In this seminar style workshop students will engage in the investigation of historical works that culminate in a combination of site, sound, kinetic, light, moving imagery, or otherwise. This interdisciplinary, project-based workshop is aimed at artists and musicians interested in working with sound as an expansion of their practice through technical and theoretical support, and is tailored to engage the unique interests of the group. The final day of class will culminate in a group showing of new works by participating students, where the overall goal of the workshop is to provide students with ideas, methods, and technical processes which can be further investigated and applied to future creative practices.

Stephanie Sherriff is an interdisciplinary sculptor, performer, composer, and media artist. Her artwork is experiential in nature and consists of sculptural, time-based installations and performances that are often living, changing, and sometimes dying. In her process she observes, collects, deconstructs, and recomposes plants, light, sound, video, and scents in order to create abstracted, ephemeral forms and sensory experiences.
