David Bernabo's statement - “The airport is a slow teleportation device that allows a person to wake up in one place and dine in another, thousands of miles away. This rush of possibility arouses different emotions: ebullience and ecstasy, stress and annoyance, pensiveness and acceptance. For musician Brian Eno, airports and the act of flying struck a nerve and triggered his mortality salience. To counteract these feelings, in 1978, he released the album Ambient 1: Music for Airports as a way to bring solace to flyers. The slow-moving, loop-based music intended "to induce calm and a space to think." In fact, it may mesmerize. Eno coined the term "ambient" to describe the music and, perhaps, also set it apart from the hollow cheerfulness of muzak and easy listening. Ambient music does not insist on an emotional change. It doesn't insist on anything. Eno wrote, "it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."- Monday, March 24th, 3 pm to 5 pm: Last Days of Living (Phillip Andrew Lewis and Simon Keep)
