Title:
A musical escape into a world of light and color
Speaker:
Kaki King
Description:

A genre unto herself, Kaki King might just be the next guitar god. She fuses the ancient tradition of working with one's hands with digital technology, projection-mapping imagery onto her guitar in her groundbreaking multimedia work "The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body." Using her guitar's neck like a keyboard, she plays an intricate melody as she takes the audience on a musical journey of light and sound. She calls it "guitar as paintbrush."
