October 16 from 2 to 4 pm
archive article, added 10/10/2005
Over the summer, children across the East End created a new
kind of art using a technology called Voice Painter™. As part of the
Multimedia Art Program for the East End, the children’s art will be
shown on the big screen and played in full audio in the Parrish Art
Museum’s concert hall on Sunday, October 16 from 2 to 4 PM. Admission
is free and refreshments will be served.
Voice Painter is interactive software that lets kids create amazing, dynamic
art with their voices by talking, singing or just making funny noises into a
microphone. In addition to seeing the children’s art, guests at the
Sunday program will be able to create their own voice paintings on the big
screen, and receive copies of paintings as well.
Events in which children created their unique one-of-a-kind art were
coordinated by VisiSound Technologies, where Voice Painter and other software
was developed, and held at various participating organizations including the
Parrish Art Museum, Quogue Library, East Hampton Library, Camp Karole, and
the Hampton Classic. Both the still paintings and dynamic multimedia (visual
+ sound) paintings that were created will be displayed. The Multimedia Art
Program is part of a larger effort by VisiSound to provide more positive
alternatives in multimedia available to families and children.
Gifts for Everyone!
All paintings created at this weekend’s event and by the summer
programs can be viewed and obtained from the Internet as gifts (at www.voicepainter.com).
The paintings will be available on greeting cards, in mat-frames, on tee
shirts and on other items. Sample voice-painted greeting cards will be given
to guests at the Parrish event. The items make ideal personalized holiday
gifts.
“Voice Painter touches and stirs a child’s creative urge”,
observes Sheila Sweeney, a children’s educational specialist.
“Voice Painter fosters creativity, and allows all children, even those
who are not technically proficient with a pencil and paper, to finish stunning
works of art”. Voice Painter helps every child feel special, be
creative and just have fun.

This breakthrough multimedia software was created originally by Dr. Tom
Riedl, a technologist and psychologist, who believes, "Whatever you may
feel about software, it’s amazing what you can do with it.” Tom
will be at the event to answer questions.
