A century ago, Generation Z’s modernists imagined a future generation in which the role of artist and technologist had fused. In that hybrid world, boundaries between media, image, sound and innovation would blur into new forms of expression. Today, that vision is our reality.

MusicMakers Hacklab is a weeklong open, collaborative laboratory hosted by Peter Kirn of CDM (createdigitalmusic.com) and sound artist Darsha Hewitt (darsha.org). It allows practitioners from a range of disciplines to reconnect with the work of early pioneers in a new context. Participants will get the chance to mix rediscovered analogue and electronic techniques with new, still-evolving digital processes connecting to the Generation Z : ReNoise exhibition.
