Denise Jiang – Looking Outwards 11

I discovered this amazing project by NY-based artist Lisa Park who is actively involved in the arts at the New Museum. She uses brainwaves to compose and perform music. The project has an atmosphere of Zen; it is about exploring vulnerability and self-control. Lisa approached the project by wearing a futuristic headset that contains electroencephalography (EEG) sensors, which would transpose her brainwaves to vibration of water in the plates surrounded. Music is produced using Max/MSP and Reaktor. I think this project is a very interesting integration of technology, neuroscience and art. It is not only produce music, but more importantly reflects the mood, the thinking and the neuro movements of the performer.
