Launched New Website: Cave
Cave is a collaborative, interdisciplinary artscience installation that merges the mind of 35,000-year-old cave art with state-of-the-art brain research. Our team will create an interactive, multisensory work in which viewer-participant (VP) brainwaves (through the use of current neurofeedback technology) will generate light and sound in an immersive filmic and sonic environment that echoes cultural memory and connects our most rudimentary tools with our most technological ones. The VP informs and becomes part of the artwork, thus blurring the perceptual boundaries between art and artist, and unifying the internal and external cave.The opening reception is on August 18th, 2017, at the Holter Art Museum in Helena, MT. The exhibition will run through December 31st. The NeuroCave Collaborative includes 6 MSU College of Arts & Architecture faculty: Sara Mast (School of Art), Jessica Jellison & Bill Clinton (School of Architecture), Jason Bolte & Linda Antas (School of Music), Zach Hoffman (Film and Photography); 4 MSU Science/Engineering faculty: John Miller (Professor Emeritus, Neuroscience), Brittany Fasy (School of Computing), David L. Millman (School of Computing, Nowsta Engineer) and Chris Huvaere (TechLink Center); 1 UMKC faculty: Barry Anderson, (UMKC art department chair and video artist) and Science Advisor: Chris Comer (UM Dean of Humanities and Sciences and neuroscientist.)
