Yesterday kicked off SCAD‘s second deFINE ART program, a showcase of leading artists, art professionals, SCAD students, faculty, alumni and special guests in Savannah and Atlanta, taking place Feb. 22-26, 2011. deFINE ART features lectures by prominent figures in the art world, special exhibitions, commissions, student showcases, performances and other events, which will be viewed at venues throughout the university’s locations in Savannah and Atlanta.

Tonight, check out “Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica” — an acoustic portrait of a rapidly transforming continent made of ice and condensation by conceptual artist, writer and musician Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid.

“Terra Nova” explores the realm of fiction and ideas that underlie almost all perceptions of Antarctica. From the interior desert plains to the Transantarctic Mountains that divide the continent, the suite will take samples of the different conditions and transform them into multimedia portraits with music composed from the different geographies that make up the land mass.
