Binaural is a Portuguese media arts collective that promotes the exploration
and research in sound, visual and new media arts, focusing on the crossing
of media and languages and on the articulation between artistic production
and the surrounding context, particularly through its activities in the
rural space of Nodar.

Binaural runs Nodar Artist Residency Center, located in an ancestral rural
mountain community of northern Portugal. Through an annual program of
residencies, are organized and produced the development of media arts
projects from international artists, followed by public presentations in the
surrounding villages. The resident artists are encouraged to establish
interactions with the place, its inhabitants, geographic space and memory.

Between January, 21st and February, 17th 2009, Binaural founder and sound
artist Rui Costa and the sound/video artist Maile Colbert will conduct a
series of lectures, workshops and concerts hosted by US universities and
cultural organizations. Through this tour, Binaural seeks to share with
artists, students and communities from across Atlantic the experience of an
immersive and committed site-specific art practice and of creative
interaction with rural communities. A particular focus will be given to the
different possibilities of working with sound in a site-specific manner.

As part of the lectures, some excerpts of works developed in Nodar will be
presented, by such sound / video artists as Martin Clarke & Alicja Rogalska,
Vered Dror, Maile Colbert, John Grzinich, Aaron Ximm, Pablo Rega & Oscar de
Paz, Jurate Jarulyte Weiss, o.blaat, Pali Meursault, Viv Corringham, Rui
