- MIT is pleased to announce that interdisciplinary artist Pamela Z is the recipient of the 2022 Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT. The $100K prize awarded at a gala in her honor also includes an artist residency at MIT in spring 2023, during which Pamela Z will perform selections from her work in a concert open to the public on April 19, 2023, then will present a public lecture/demonstration on April 20, 2023.
A pioneering composer, performer, and interdisciplinary artist for more than four decades, Pamela Z has toured to major festivals and venues worldwide. She works with voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound, and video, and is known for using custom music technology, activated by physical gesture, to explore deeply personal themes.
The McDermott residency builds on Pamela Z’s prior visits to MIT in 2013 and 2016, during which she worked with students, fellow visiting artists, and other members of the campus community.
This video features excerpts from an interview conducted on her first visit to the Institute, and addresses how she started making experimental music.
