Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts and School of Music present a Spring 2025 workshop series with the Berlin-based arts collective House for the End of the World (HEW).

Professor of Composition Joshua Fineberg and AI and visual artist Dario Srbic will lead a workshop about the technological aspects of installation art, including sound, video, and lighting equipment, as well as biometric sensors and exhibition-specific technology. Examples from past HEW and other artworks will be presented. They will talk about Raspberry Pis and biometric sensors along with more conventional technology and how these tools can be used to activate specific features of a site itself.

The five-part workshop series prepares participants for The Other One: Dependency, Distortion, Displacement, an interdisciplinary exhibition opening in Fall 2025. The exhibition explores themes of technological reliance, urban development, and identity, featuring HEW artists Joshua Fineberg (Professor, Composition; Director, Center for New Music), performance artist Elana Katz, and AI and visual artist Dario Srbic, alongside contributions from CFA students.
