Friday 16th September -18th
Tangible Feelings, IMAL, Brussels

This one-day symposium gathers artists, scientists and academics to discuss the use of EEG and biofeedback in the field of Art. Through this exchange around artistic intentions and technology, we hope to shed light on the possibilities and illusions emerging from our brain waves –  ( guests need to register to attend)

Luciana will give a one hour presentation of her work as a Neurofeedback artist since 1996 with IBVA at 10.45am, and discuss EEG harvesting as art, brainwave artifice and discretely altering the state of minds beyond.

Luciana is excited to be part of  the first Maker Faire in Brighton (The Dome opposite the pavillion), on Saturday 3rd September, 10am-5pm (free)

Find her in a booth with NEURALinterface, where you can tune up your brainwaves when connected to the IBVA monitoring system together with some Theta wave entraining sounds, and sonify them to receive your EEG colour portraits printed out. Maker Faire is a FREE family-friendly event where you can marvel at the mind-boggling home-made creations of the best inventors, crafters, hackers and DIY-ers from across the UK, and even have a go at making something yourself.

Hello ! I will be creating postcard EEG  souvenirs from the brainwaves of participants in my little experiment with sound this saturday in The Dome, (next to Brighton’s iconic pavillion.)

Come along and lend me your brain for 10 minutes to receive a colour photo printout of your EEG in transit ! Theta wave synchronisation maybe involved and some Yucatecan trance induction beats.

Brainwaves, instant and animated

Have you ever wondered what your brain sounds like? In this 5-hour workshop participants will explore fascinating ways of augmenting their consciousness with brainwave monitors, using portable EEG interfaces such as IBVA, ThinkGear and MindWaves’. After introducing and exploring the equipment, you will work in small groups to monitor changes in your consciousness with the devices in an interactive experiment, and go onto collaboratively create musical compositions, interactive visuals and even develop an audio/visual performance utilising and augmenting real-time signals from your brains.

Luciana presents IBVA interaction to researchers whose work is linked to that of the Life and Mind seminar group http://lifeandmind.wordpress.com. They have found that as part
of their output the spontaneous production of art is occurring, sometimes intentionally and at other times more organically.
This event seeks to investigate this phenomenon and invites researchers to share their artworks and experiences alongside artists working in similar areas. Features an exhibition, a keynote presentation by Pia Tikka and a debate chaired by Tom Froese.

I will be co-presenting this friday 07.11.08 a lecture in Brunel university with Stelarc, he has invited me to introduce the wonders of the IBVA brainwave recording interactive system to Performing Arts students with a hands-on ( brains-in) workshop in the afternoon ! I personally hold Stelarc responsible for my obsession with biofeedback, since he visited my degree course in 1994 in Interactive Art, and gave me my first electrode gel ! I was orginally building cybernetic interfaces using ECG monitors sending realtime heart beat as trigger to a multiway audio speaker switching system. I need to add that photo from the archives.
