IVAN WONG — V=331M/S+0.6T

The Integratron is an acoustic Paradise, a wooden dome constructed without nails. Originally designed by aerospace engineer George Van Tassel to channel rejuvenating electrostatic energy, the healing powers of the Integratron’s sound baths draw thousands of visitors to this desert outpost. Wong’s sound installation, whose title references the speed of sound in dry air, includes recorded sounds and acoustic instrumentation, vocals, synthetic reproduction and the acoustics of the environment in which it is performed. The piece is augmented by live sound manipulation via a soundboard, so each 15-minute performance is unique. New York-based Wong is an artist, musician, and composer whose works have been exhibited/performed on both coasts. He is also an accomplished publisher of art books. Wong holds a BFA in painting from UCLA.
