Design Night at the Autodesk Gallery on August 1: Music

Past

Design Night is an events program at the Autodesk Gallery. At each event, guests explore a different theme — such as biomimicry, light, or robotics — that challenges the conventionally narrow definition of design. The theme is reflected in all aspects of the event, from the activities guests enjoy to the food they eat to the music they hear. The result is a fun and fascinating venue for exploration, networking, and the exchange of ideas. So far we have had:

• September 6, 2012: Small is the Next Big Thing // more
• October 4, 2012: Public Interest Design // more
• November 1, 2013: Future of Transportation
• December 6, 2012: Leaps and Bounds // more
• February 7, 2013: Mother Nature: Celebrity Designer // more
• March 7, 2013: Illumination // more
• April 4, 2013: Robots // more
• May 2, 2013: Making It! // more
• June 6, 2013: Faster. Stronger. Tech-ier. // more

Present

On Thursday, August 1, 6-10 p.m., the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco will host another Design Night: Techno? Tech-yes!, where we will explore the design's impact on music. So get your musical self over to Design Night and experience:

• Talk by Tyler Kicera, stage and automation design guru from Tait Towers // more

• Live performance from musical alchemist Elizaveta // more

• Self-playing drums (or Arduino if you want to sound "with it") // more

• Musical Instructables // more

From classical opera and jazz fusion to rock ‘n roll and techno funk, music is more than just entertainment — it’s art, communication, a way of connecting us all. More than just listening to music, we feel it. And the rapid evolution of design technology is changing the way we experience it—how it’s delivered, how it’s performed, and the music itself. But what hasn’t changed is its spirit and why we create it.
