Featuring a series of tasty “sound bytes”—short, pithy multi-media presentations by both UW-Madison and internationally-renowned scholars who are exploring the senses in trans-disciplinary research (anthropology, visual/material culture, art history, music, performance theory, cognitive sciences, etc.). Throughout the day, these “bytes” will be interspersed with a variety of interactive sensory experiences for all.
