The Binghamton Historical Soundwalk Project

Thank you, Mattie, JUST member, for the head's up. Mark your calendars!

Tune in to WHRW 90.5 FM Binghamton this Friday, May 10th between 4-7 pm for a special broadcast of the student projects from the Sonic Storytelling joint graduate and undergraduate course co-taught by Prof. Monteith McCollum of the Cinema Department, Binghamton University and Professor Jennifer Stoever of the English Department. Students have been crafting short podcasting episodes all semester long on unique topics such as
--the deep relationship between humans and birds
--why it can be so hard to teach yourself guitar
--the questioning of whether college is "worth it"
--remembrances of women from the mid-20th century who sewed and wore dresses made from feed sack cloth
--the rise of "the emotional support water bottle"
--hobbies people DON'T want to do for money
AND MORE!

You can also stream the show from anywhere at https://whrw.fm/

Just a reminder that your personal situation should not stop you from enjoying a visit to a museum!
Roberson is also part of Museums for All, providing free admission to those receiving SNAP benefits.

Article about the sound walk!

At DPA we know that murals are not permanent but it is sad to see them coming down. We spent so much time and effort creating some history and beauty in this old parking ramp on Water St. in Binghamton. This mural by Zach Wilson represents the player piano which was built on this site. Other murals depicted the Bundy time punch clock which led to IBM Computers, the Link Organ Co who begat the Link flight simulator which trained WWII pilots and then astronauts. And the American Dance Asylum which pioneered multi media dance events in the Parking Ramp Dance. Combine all that history on that spot and you have Binghamton as the Birth of Virtual Reality (computers, robotics, simulation, multi media). Claim it, Binghamton!
