Audiopad
 | Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, juxtapose archived recordings against warm synthetic melodies, cut between drum loops to create new beats, and apply digital processing all at the same time on the same table. |

The Karl Bodmer Aquatint Collection
 | During the years 1832 to 1834, the German naturalist Prince Maximilian zu Wied led an expedition to the Upper Missouri region of North America. The description of this journey, Travels in the Interior of North America (in italic), published after his return to Europe, provided one of the most significant collections of ethnological information available concerning the nineteenth-century American Plains Indian. |
| This book was illustrated with eighty-one aquatints, the work of Karl Bodmer (1809-1893), a young Swiss artist, who accompanied Maximilian on his journey. The years of Maximilian's expedition were pivotal in American history. As fur traders penetrated farther up the Missouri River and western migration along the Oregon Trail commenced, the end of an era for the Plains Indian began. Maximilian insisted that the European-trained Bodmer paint with strict attention to detail. The resulting watercolors, upon which the published aquatints were based, had a photographic accuracy that was unequaled and which have subsequently proved invaluable to historians and ethnologists.

From Generation to Generation
 Taken over a period of approximately twenty years, the photographs in this exhibition are part of a series entitled, Triptychs. These twenty-seven photographs, presented in groups of three, depict working class families living in a six-block area of Buffalo, New York's Lower West Side. The families were photographed during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. These images speak about the importance of family, continuity, and the impact of the passage of time. Without sentimentality or romanticizing, the portraits capture the dignity of these individuals and tell their stories of humor, warmth, vitality, and mortality.
