Mind Set
Description:
Mind Set is an interdisciplinary, collaborative project between the Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics, Department of Systems and Control Engineering and Moveo Dance Company, focused on building up a new viewer-centred performance. It aims at translating brain activity into actions without acting physically, through the use of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) Technology. This performance will marry this emerging technology to contemporary dance to create a world first: an innovative performance where the audience’s brain activity and the dancers’ movement communicate to create a unique performance. In this space all actions, being physical or neurological, including both the dancers’ and those of the audience, can be detected. They will interact with each other through visual and audio effects. This real-time reactive dance performance is one in which the visuals are as important as the movements themselves. These qualities will be affected by the audience thus creating high levels of real-time interaction and a close relationship between dance, people, sound and visuals. Mind Set is part of the Science in the City, Malta festival and funded by the Malta Arts Fund
