It's day 4 and we're not slowing down! In addition to 6 hours of installations (12-6), tonight at 7 pm, Bonnie Miksch will lecture about the history of women in electronic music.  This lecture will trace the history of women contributors to the field of electronic music within the larger frame of twentieth-century technological developments and explorations in Europe and the United States.  (photo of Daphne Oram)
