Born in Seoul, Kyu Yeon Kim studied at the Korea National University of Arts with Choong-Mo Kang and later at the Universität der Künste in Berlin with Klaus Hellwig, at the Curtis Institute with Gary Graffman and at the New England Conservatory with Russell Sherman. In the mid-1990s Mr. Scott founded Electric Sheep, a Miami Beach-based design boutique specializing in motion graphics, where he crafted film and broadcast visuals for clients such as Disney, Shakira, MTV, Sony and Caravan Pictures. In 2001 he joined the staff of the New World Symphony and in the following years worked closely with architect Frank Gehry and Gehry Partners on the unprecedented integration of video and projection technology into the New World Center. Mr. Scott is now the organization’s Director of Video Production, leading a seven-member team that works with Michael Tilson Thomas, guest artists and the New World Symphony’s Fellows to find innovative ways to merge video and classical music in performance and education. “My mission is to initiate, develop and launch projects that spark curiosity in our community through the creative interpretation of real and relevant science. We choose science and technology topics that have a local relevance AND global impact in order to create content that is identifiable to our local community. This ensures that our content is authentic and true to its context: Miami.” “Miami is a hub for the visual arts so allowing the community to dig deeper into what it means to SEE will broaden our understanding of that which we are looking at. We also have an amazing quality of light here in Miami. Our sky and oceans are vast and make up much of our landscape. I hope that SEEING helps our community appreciate the subtle and sometimes invisible environmental elements that play a big factor in our quality of life here.” “Guests will be exposed to brand new interactive technologies and completely unique creative interpretations on the subject of “seeing”. The model of commissioning artists and creative technologists to interpret cutting edge science is new to Miami and will expose new audiences to the topics being explored.” She hopes SEEING will evoke a sense of childlike wonder, “Like overcoming a fear of the ocean by snorkeling at night and encountering a bioluminescent jelly – not fully understanding it in an intellectual/didactic/rational way, but leaving the experience feeling life affirmed and yearning to know more.” But the small and local business support shouldn’t stop at Miami or nearby South Florida. The reason why it’s #SupportLocalFL is because we want to connect the entire state under the identity of the businesses that are proud to build within it. We’re so proud to announce that Prism and Support Local have joined forces with as our Fort Lauderdale partners, bringing the message to our northern neighbors and beyond. In honor of National Small Business Week, Music shouldn’t be the sole focus of a festival. If you’ve been to the likes of Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Burning Man, you know that the main stages are great, but what turns a first-timer into a lifer is the all-around experience. From set production and thoughtful layouts, to a separate schedule of non-music related activities, next weekend’s is a collection of communities all brought together to create a neighborhood to nourish the mind, body, and spirit.” Filled with every kind of immersive experience you can imagine, this will quickly become your favorite spot in the festival. During the day, jam to celestial sounds, participate in classes like a totem making and creative activism workshops, or watch improv and open mic performances. At night, you’ll fall under the spell of some of the most vibrant live artists and masters in the worlds of VR, light design, sound creation, and more. Did we mention it was multi-sensory? From the Pagoda Art Lounge to the Participation Row action village (because who says you can’t do good while you boogie?), thoughtful is an understatement.
