THY WILL BE DONE follows Male-to-Female Transsexual Sara Herwig in her path to ordination in the Presbyterian Church. Efforts have been made to block her ordination by the evangelical conservative groups who don't recognize her as female and question her fitness to be a Pastor... but who also challenge her candidacy because she is in a same-sex relationship, with a woman. At issue is the organized Christian Church, with all its political and financial power, as one of the fiercest battlegrounds for LGBT rights and gender recognition.

MARYANNE AMACHER
······················································································

The Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is proud to host this tribute to the late Maryanne Amacher, a pioneering sound artist and former MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) fellow on the first anniversary of her death. The focus of the tribute, round table discussion and concert will be on Amacher’s influence on contemporary musicians and composers.
Amacher was a fellow at MIT’s CAVS during the 1970s, and CAVS founder Gyorgy Kepes is credited as one of her primary influences. While at MIT, she worked on her noted City-Links, a series of installations using real-time “telelinks” that transmitted sounds from remote locations. The project was presented at Minneapolis’s Walker Art Center and Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art in 1974.

Amacher was a student of Karlheinz Stockhausen in the 1960s, a collaborator of John Cage and Merce Cunningham in the 1970s and 1980s, and a teacher at Bard College until her death in October 2009. As a seminal figure in acoustics, architectural installation and the physiological phenomenon called otoacoustic emission, she received awards and grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Pew Memorial Trust and the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, among others. In 2005 she was awarded the Prix Ars Electronica.
