As part of the Corwin Chair Series, composer Dr. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin will give a lecture titled Using the Creative Process as a Computational Framework for Unfolding Complex Systems.

Dr. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin is a composer, director, Chief Scientist of the AlloSphere Research Facility (allosphere.ucsb.edu), and professor of Media Arts and Technology and Music at UCSB. Her research focuses on creative computational systems, multi-modal media content, and facilities design. Her years of experience in digital media research led to the creation of a multi-million dollar sponsored research program for the University of California—the Digital Media Innovation Program. The culmination of her creativity and research is the AlloSphere, a 30-foot diameter, 3-story high metal sphere inside an echo-free cube, designed for immersive, interactive scientific and artistic investigation of multi-dimensional data sets.
