Monica Bolles – Sound in Immersive Spaces (Zoom) “As an artist, I design and produce experiences that immerse the audience in sonic, visual, and tactile sensation. I question relationships, explore communication, and foster interaction. I believe people connect with the world around them through experiences, so I create experiences that immerse their senses and offer them new insights into somewhat abstract concepts. As an audio engineer/composer I combine my love of science and art to explore space and the ways in which space can be used to create new tonalities and new compositional practices.“
