The Innovation Studio is designed as hub for the convergence of different art forms and media, oriented for the development of innovative solutions for interactive performance, installations, film and theatrical design. The space contains:
- several projection surfaces
- theatrical lighting
- baby grand Disklavier piano
- continuum fingerboard
- Kyma system, integrated in a 16- to 24- channel MeyerSound speaker system that can be controlled by Pro Tools or Max/Pd
- wealth of state-of-the-art plugins for Ambisonic and multi-channel diffusion
The main computer and controls to the room sit on a movable platform so that the work post can be set at any place in the room according to a project’s specific needs.
The Innovation studio can also be configured as a performance space for the showcase of work to small audiences. The space is open to the NYUAD community and other artists for residencies to develop work that fosters non-trivial approaches to artistic creation in the digital domain.
