\nAfter March 26, prices will increase to $130\/$65.<\/p>\n

The workshop will begin with Harvard Professor of Mathematics Noam Elkies discussing

\nTod Machover will speak about Marvin Minsky’s impact and inspiration on his music.
\nMarvin Minsky will present the keynote address, speaking on themes from his landmark
\npaper, “Music, Mind, and Meaning,” linking musical, artificial and human intelligence.

On Saturday, March 31, international scholars from universities including Universite Paris-Est,
\nPrinceton, University of Copenhagen, TCNJ, McGill University, Drexel, and Rensselaer
\nPolytechnic Institute will present original research. Presentations will take place in a
\nsingle session in the Concert Hall between 9am and 5pm. Demonstrations of interactive music
\nsystems and creative applications of technology will also be on display between 10am and 1pm.<\/p>\n

The TCNJ Art Gallery will be open during MMI to present Illuminating Data: Visualizing the
\nInformation that Moves Our World. The exhibition includes work by more than twenty artists
\nwho employ innovative approaches to visualizing data through dynamic installations, sculptures,
\nalgorithmically drawn prints, video, animation, and other forms of new media.<\/p>\n

The MMI workshop is sponsored by National Science Foundation Grant #0855973 and supported by
\nthe Schools of the Arts& \u00a0Communication, Science, and Engineering at The College of New Jersey.
\nIt will be held in the Music Building on the TCNJ campus, located at 2000 Pennington Road in
\nEwing, New Jersey. For directions, parking, and travel information, see:
