LUCIANA HAILL
CURRICULUM VITAE
Interactive Artist Luciana analyses and translates delicate brain-waves signals (EEG) into amplified sensory performances. Her techniques involve Neurofeedback - a training process using technology to provide you with more information about what your brain is doing. This is a standard procedure in medicine, and can give interesting indicators of how the brain works. She has appeared on TV and Radio with her latest work using brainwaves and 3D spatialised sound installations in a UK tour for The Future of Sound.
She has collaborated with other sound artists with her unique EEG music, attended workshops in Hawaii to study Lucid Dreaming with scientists, and also presented her interactive performances in Udine, Italy and at The Science museum’s Dana Centre in 2010 in London.
She is currently ‘Head of Altered States of Consciousness’ for The Institute of Unnecessary Research in Brighton and self employed as EEG consultant and Director of IBVA – Interactive Brainwave Visual Analysis.
