MEME (Multimedia & Electronic Music Experiments) is an interdisciplinary program within the Brown University Music Department that focuses on the creative use of emerging technology for real-time interactive performance and installation. Located in the Steinert Building on the Brown University campus in Providence, Rhode Island, meme@brown is known for art and research that traverse the boundaries between computer music, installation, video, theater and dance.

As part of the larger Brown and RISD digital media community, meme@brown provides expertise in real-time computer music and interactive video and tracking, as well as specializations in interface design and gestural controller hardware/software. meme@brown resources include its faculty and staff, undergraduate and graduate course offerings, and a fully-equipped suite of state-of-the-art creation studios, labs and performance venues.

meme@brown students and faculty collaborate on artistic and research projects, exploring new art forms that combine digital music and sound with performance, installation, human-computer interaction, video processing, text, and/or images. meme@brown actively promotes research, publications, and new technology in the fields of real-time sound synthesis and composition, real-time video, video tracking, digital signal processing, human-computer interaction, computer interface devices, and haptic/tactile feedback devices.

meme@brown is an important interdisciplinary link between diverse Brown/RISD artists and scientists, and routinely features on-campus collaborative research and creative projects among composers, computer scientists, writers, visual artists, choreographers and others. Local, national and international artists are featured on the annual meme@brown concert series; visiting researchers and artists present their work on the regular colloquium series "Digital Happy Hour."
