World Science Festival presents the US debut of the exhibition BIORHYTHM: Music and the Body from Science Gallery Dublin.
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 this new exhibition called BIORHYTHM. 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.
Join us from 6–9 pm as we kick-off our three-day engagement with BIORHYTHM. Festivities include one-on-one interactions with select artists and installations, as well as a live interactive performance featuring NYC beat boxer Chesney Snow and the Stone Forest Ensemble. During the performance, members of SARC (Sonic Arts Research Centre) Queen’s University, Belfast, Northern Ireland, will guide the audience through a sound experiment using physical energy generated by audience interactions and touch.
Note: The gallery will be open 12 noon to 6 pm before the opening. BIORHYTHM at the Eyebeam Art + Technology Center is made possible through the generous support of Imagine Ireland, an initiative of Culture Ireland, and the Cordover Family Foundation. BIORHYTHM is created by Science Gallery and Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
