Cocoon transplants ongoing research at the MIT Media Lab’s Dream Lab into the electronic arts context. We will perform live experiments that focus on tracking, influencing and extracting content from dreams. We present three custom-built wearable electronics for sleep science which make this interface across levels of consciousness possible: Masca, Essence and Dormio. Our wearables gather eye, heart, brain, breath, muscle and skin biosignals for sleep staging and in turn output smell, audio and electricity to manipulate the dreaming brain. The intersection between signals and stories where we work, between concrete inputs and the algorithms which abstract them in the mind, offer a unique meeting point for scientific regiment and experiential art. The nightly dissolution of our perceptually grounded experience into dreams, and the clear signals associated with them, link science and the imaginary.

Taking an organism-driven approach to material design, the project began under the premise that a greater understanding of nature could help us not just replace the petrochemical based materials of today with more sustainable ones, but perhaps allow us to devise entirely new systems of making and categories of materials previously unimagined. After all, nature has had 3.8 billion years to perfect the ultimate circular economy: Life. Maybe we can still learn something.

The Endangered Species Project: New England

new work by Julia Galloway

Exhibition Dates: February 4 - April 14, 2019

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard

224 Western Ave, Allston, Massachusetts 02134

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

Galloway writes, "Recently I happened to read about the Wandering Albatross on a layover in an airport. The Wandering Albatross is one of the largest birds in the world, sporting a wing span up to eleven feet across and able to stay aloft for up to 30 days drafting on the oceans currents. This bird flies unusually close to the water, so on average, every five minutes, one of these birds is decapitated by industrial fishing lines, and literally, it brought me to my knees with sorrow - what could I do? Making pottery is how I understand the world. I am creating covered jars for endangered species. Change can occur when something that is generally unseen becomes seen. I have made all 305 species listed in New England in hope that this sheer volume of pottery in one gallery will have an impact on the public. On the surface of the jars are lush images of the animals isolated in a colorless habitat. My sister, an evolutionary biologist, insists that I include hope for the future in this project. Part of the exhibition includes the reasons for the dropping population and what we, average folks, can do to reverse or at least slow down this trend.”

Adding an exceptional length of time in comparison to common studies, in The 101-Nights we perform the recording of her sleep with 256 EEG channels, a performance in which her dreams were electronically recorded and stimulated with audios. These stimuli occasionally demonstrate their influence in the account of her dreams.

With Organs Sound The Body, San Francisco machine-arts icon Kal Spelletich sets out to create “backup organs for an artist who has never had health insurance,” positing a series of hybrid human organs (lungs, heart, kidneys, skin) as playful and reactive metaphors for survival, identity, agency, and responsibility in an era in which increasingly utilitarian values may overshadow technology’s capacity for poetry. / Strange Temporalities

The art drug dRT is an ingestable object used to induce an art work within its consumer. The artwork is a life size sculpture of the world. The drug posit its consumer into a myriad of world states. The project situates artworks within the body, exploring the notion of communicating ideas through the digestive system before entering the mind.

In early 2015, more than 140 artists from 40 countries submitted ideas and concepts to the Open Call issued by the European Digital Arts & Science Network. They were vying to take advantage of an extraordinary opportunity: a residency for artists at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and a residency at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Austria. ESO, the European Southern Observatory, is the main organization in the world for ground-based astronomy.

Proteus 2.0 is an installation that modulates ferrofluid patterns, with both human and machine intelligences, in a closed loop. Through an individual and prolonged visual experience, it immerses the visitor in an implicit interaction with the material through a brain-computer interface. A pre-trained dedicated machine learning model is informed by real-time neural signals, produced by the visitor’s gaze while being exposed to the rapid serial change of patterns without any explicit instructions to follow. Over the time of the gaze experience, visitors may witness a certain stabilization of their own modulated picture of the material.

“Chijikinkutsu” by Nelo Akamatsu (JP) is a coinage, combining two Japanese words: Chijiki means geomagnetism. It is about terrestrial magnetic properties that have always existed and affect everything on earth, even though they cannot be perceived by the human senses.

The Living Viral Tattoos prototypes were created through hacking scientific protocols used in biotechnology and synthetic biology. They feature human and pig ex-plant skin that have been tattooed with biological virus, skin cells, jellyfish gene (Red Fluorescent Protein) and antibodies. The areas where viral cells have transfected the skin can be seen as tattoos in the form of faint bluish-brown bruises. They have been fixed and preserved in paraformaldehyde and now sit in four specimen jars full of non-toxic phosphate buffered saline.

The organized game "Otelo Futurespace – The Digital Playground" took place at Ars Electronica Center from April 4 to 8, 2018. In eight labs, each focusing on a different aspect of digitization, 10-18-year-olds acquire the skills that will help them get the final "Robo-Challenge" up and running. In these lab settings, the accent is on hands-on practice—the participants are encouraged to try out new things, experiment and learn.
