Art students attend lectures by renowned artist and psychologist

by admin, on 06 September 2012 19:13:44 CEST

Prague College students from the Interactive Media and Fine Art programmes attended two interesting lectures by American composer and improviser Pauline Oliveros and by one of the world's most distinguished living psychologists, Philip Zimbardo.

The first lecture, presented by Pauline Oliveros and held in the American Center in Prague, consisted of a multimedia presentation of a recently completed environmental work entitled Tower Ring, and a short activity introducing lecture attendees to the fundamentals of Oliveros' listening discipline Deep Listening.

Ms. Oliveros is an early pioneer in the field of electronic music, and an important figure in the tradition of Experimental music within the US.  She is a founder and director of the Deep Listening Institute, and performs across the world in major art, developmental technology, and experimental music festivals.  Now in her 80th year, her career has spanned six decades.  Ms. Oliveros was in Prague to perform in the premiere concert of the Babel Festival at Divadlo Archa.

Later that evening students attended a seminar at Prague's contemporary art centre DOX, given by Philip Zimbardo. The lecture was entitled "My Journey from Evil to Heroism"  and detailed his infamous Stanford Prison Experiment, recent examples of evil and heroism in the world, and his new foundation the Heroic Imagination Project (HIP).
