Project with multi-media artist Katharine Vega. Collaboration and performance « Terra Incognita » at the Flux Laboratory Genève, 30.05.2017, and conference-performance « Terra Incognita » at Campus Biotech, 19.05.2017
The Terra Incognita collaboration between Prof David Rudrauf and Katharine Vega which begins with a three week residency at the Flux Laboratory in Geneva May 2017. Performances of the R&D and first prototype of the networked Virtual Reality project "Seachange" will run in late May at a showing at Flux Laboratory and for the NCCR Affective Sciences Conference. Mystical traditions, phenomenologists and artists from all ages have developed languages to map intersubjectivity. This interdisciplinary collaboration across art and science explores interpersonal relationship and creatively communicating supra-sensory experience. This is a long-term research project exploring collective experience and the potentials for Virtual Reality to bring richer understanding of human experience and Artificial Intelligence.
