AUROVILLE exists on the southeastern coast of india, an experiment in living based on the teachings of scholar, radical nationalist and integral yoga guru, sri aurobindo, and realized by his spiritual partner, known to the universe simply as "the mother." built around a sacred banyan tree, the township takes its shape as a spiral galaxy. in its nucleus, a giant golden geodesic dome--called the MATRIMANDIR--houses a meditation chamber which holds the world's largest manufactured crystal orb. thousands of people visit AUROVILLE daily to catch a glimpse of this orb. fewer get the chance to meditate in its presence.

AUROVILLE will be performed by seth kirby (electronic drones) and nick hallett (chanting). there will be a mylar installation by I LOVE YOU (seth and the vivacious ana matronic, who plans to plot our stage on the golden mean and will perform a multimedia presentation in powerpoint) and MIGHTY ROBOT will be there as always with their incredible psychedelic projections... here are the details: HARKNESS A/V SALON at SECRET PROJECT ROBOT presents AUROVILLE immersive music and visual environment by nick hallett and seth kirby documenting the experiment in human unity and spirituality existing in india since 1968 (first nyc performance, world debut: yale school of art '04).
