About Interference Arts
Interference Arts employs music, multimedia performance and installation, arts-based community development, and future visioning research to promote healthy individuals and vital, sustainable communities. We are built on the foundation that the arts play an important role in addressing human challenges and breaking down traditional barriers to communication and problem solving. Interference Arts applies the concept “interference” as a paradigm representing the way the company employs the arts to engage with the world – interfering with energy and action to make change – like a canoe paddle coming into contact with the water, or like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing something to happen on the other side of the planet.
