Experiments in Neuroaesthetics: Evoking Voices from Biological Systems
Works by Gene Coleman, KAVI and Quantum Global Organoid Orchestra
Thursday – 8:00pm (ET)

Bowerbird is pleased to co-present Gene Coleman’s program Experiments in Neuroaesthetics: Evoking Voices from Biological Systems.

In the music of Giacinto Scelsi, Luigi Nono and Pauline Oliveros, and in the films of Stan Brakhage, there was a desire to reveal the “inner voices”. Working with new biodata technologies and systems, we reach a new reality, where the inner voices of the body, mind, via biological systems, can be Evoked – seen and heard in unprecedented ways. How can we create music and art in this new reality? This program shows three different approaches, which are linked by use of The Source, a Biodata device that can translate electric biorhythms into various media. The program features work by: KAVI (Ilze Briede), The Quantum Global Organoid Orchestra (q.GOO), and The Neuro Music Ensemble Conjure.
