A Sonic Laboratory returns to St. Augustine’s with Forbes Graham. This two hour performance will, similar to its debut in July, utilize material from St. Augustine’s oral history archive. “Further Reflections in the Sonic Laboratory” seeks to reimagine this material into a new sound bath intended to be experienced in whole or in part. Graham hopes listeners will be able to reflect, relax, contemplate, learn, and appreciate the work of past Afro-Diasporic communities.

Dr. Tiffany Nichols in discussion with NOVA on PBS: When we look at the world at the tiniest scales, the subatomic realm, things get weird – very weird. Welcome to the quantum universe, where particles can spin in two directions at once, observing something changes it, and a thing on one side of the galaxy can instantly affect something on the other, as if the space between them didn’t exist. Buckle up for a wild ride through the discoveries that proved all of this to be true and paved the way for the digital technologies we enjoy today – and the powerful quantum sensors and computers of tomorrow.
