Rhythms of the Brain Charity Auction
Facebook-f Twitter Instagram

We worked with contemporary artist Simon Ingram to create a visual work of art as part of our performance of Rhythms of the Brain in collaboration with Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. A fascinating exploration of the inner workings of the brain and its response to musical stimuli, during the performance the brainwaves of Amalia, Somi and Ashley were captured in real time with an EEG headset and interpreted through specially developed software onto canvas over the duration of the performance.

 
We performed three works by New Zealand composers – Kintsugi by Salina Fisher,  Asymptote by Alex Taylor (a new commission written specifically for this project) and Subtle Dances by Claire Cowan.The resulting artwork now could be yours! It is being auctioned, and the proceeds raised will go to Toi Ora Trust, a charity that supports people to proactively manage their mental wellbeing through proven methods of creative exploration in a safe and inclusive community. A link to the bidding form, and details about the artwork are below.
