Brain Avatar – Concert & Resonance Experiment, Part 1 with Mario Diaz de Leon, Zeljko McMullen, Doron Sadja :: November 1, 2007; 9:00 pm :: Roulette, 20 Greene St. (between Canal and Grand) 2 blocks west of Broadway

Musicians in Hang Zhou, Bangkok, Durban, Brussels, New York, and Braunschweig will each begin a solo concert, transmitting the music real-time to each city. During the concerts, brain activities of each musician will be recorded by the Brain Avatar which, created by Martin Schoene, is the first analogue visualization of real-time brain activity. The brainwaves, in their direct form as sound are projected as resonance in water and light. Emerging shapes and processes allow for visualization of mental states and movement of thought.

Brain Avatar – Concert & Resonance Experiment, Part 2 with Jim Staley:: November 2, 2007; 7:00 pm.

In the second part of this world concert, the musicians will play together in realtime. Their brainwaves are connected – a “Global Avatar” is composed from six solo Avatars.
