> To: [log in to unmask]
>
> CHAMELEON, Tina Gonsalves, Hugo Critchley and Helen Sloan
>
> Artist talk and panel discussion at Lighthouse, Brighton, UK
>
> 04 February 09, 7 – 9pm
>
> Lighthouse is pleased to invite you to the first Digiville event of
> the year.
>
> Why is it that one person can have the ability to ‘light up a room’?
> How does a previously upbeat group become miserable? The Chameleon
> Project merges art, neuroscience and technology into a poetic
> interactive video art installation driven by emotions of the audience.
> The project investigates emotional contagion, highlighting how we
> innately and continuously synchronize with the facial expressions,
> voices, postures of others, unconsciously infecting each other with
> our emotions.
>
> With Chameleon, individuals become intimately connected and implicated
> into varying emotionally provocative and reflexive social
> interactions. The work uses mind reading technology, video and
> emotional algorithms to assess and respond to the emotional states of
> the audience. For the audience, the piece reveals the delicate nature
> of how our emotional state constantly shifts how we make sense of our
> external and internal world.
>
> The CHAMELEON project takes the form of a progression of experiments
> through ten stages each combining new neuroscientific and affective
> computing research into powerful video art installations. These
> installations both provoke and respond to emotional processes in the
> viewer by producing meaningful emotionally responsive audiovisual
> narratives.
>
> Lighthouse has recently commissioned Tina Gonsalves to develop and
> exhibit prototype 8 of her 10 stage CHAMELEON project in the
> Lighthouse space during 2009. Currently Honorary Artist in Residence
> at the Wellcome Department of Neuroimaging at The Institute of
> Neurology (IoN) in London, Gonsalves is collaborating with various
> eminent neuroscientists and world leading affective computer
> scientists, merging key research centres internationally including the
> Affective Computing Group at the Media Lab, Massachussetts Institute
> of Technology (MIT), USA where she is Visiting Artist.
>
> Tina Gonsalves will be discussing the development of the CHAMELEON
> with members of her collaborative team, neuroscientist Dr. Hugo
> Critchley and curator of the project, Helen Sloan Director of SCAN
> media arts agency. this evening of presentation, demonstration and
> discussion promises to be unmissable for anyone interested in the
> collaborative and cross-disciplinary aspects of innovative media art
> practice.
>
> Chameleon is funded through a large arts award Wellcome Trust,
> Australia Arts Council, Arts Council England, Australian Network for
> Arts and Technology and is supported by UCL, Brighton and Sussex
