"Biorhythm: Music and the Body" Exhibition
Eyebeam Art & Technology Center
This event has ended.
Why does a minor chord sound sad? Is there a formula for the perfect hit? Whistling, dancing, finger-snapping, and toe-tapping—what makes us do it? Find out when music and science join forces in an interactive bazaar of beats, sounds, and rhythm in the exhibition BIORHYTHM, created by the Science Gallery and presented at Eyebeam as part of the World Science Festival. Learn what drives sound manipulation and discover how different types of music evoke different emotions. Trace the power of an impactful pop hook in a song, measuring the way our brains and bodies react, down to the responses in our fingertips.
Included works: "Binaural Head"; "Sonic Bed"; "Klangkapsel"; "Something for the Girl Who Has Everything"; "Optofonica Capsule"; "Theremin Inspector V2"; "Music, Emotion, Empathy"; "Heart ‘N’ Beat"; "Reactable"; "Contacts"; "Hear"; "Traffic; Instrumen"; "Body Snatcher"; "Chains of Emotion".
