Berlin New Media Week: SOUND/BODY RESONANCE

What does it feel like when a machine touches you back?

For Berlin New Media Week, we present a hands-on workshop with Jason J. Snell exploring EEG audiovisual neurofeedback, followed by a roundtable discussion with live EEG performances and soundbaths.

One day, two movements, one shared frequency.
Hosted in collaboration with The Node Institute.

Together, the workshop and the evening form a single arc — from the individual signal to the collective one. You start by learning how one brain's activity can become sound. You end in a room where many bodies, tuned by gong and breath and sub-bass, move toward the same frequency at once.

THE PROGRAM

1) Exploring Audiovisual Neurofeedback Workshop with Jason J. Snell
Friday, Sept 4th, 15:00–17:00
The NODE Institute, Wipperstraße 13, Berlin

How can signals from the brain become material for sound and visual expression? This lecture-and-hands-on workshop marks the beginning of Jason J. Snell's Fulbright research fellowship in Berlin, and opens up a creative practice at the intersection of neuroscience, music, generative art, and human-computer interaction.

2) Roundtable Discussion & Immersive Live Performances
Sunday, Sept 6th, 17:00-21:00
Atemporal, Boxhagener Str. 96, Berlin

An intimate, roundtable discussion: an open dialogue circle in which artists, neuroscientists, and researchers share works-in-progress and ideas on the theme of human-technology entanglement.

Following the discussion, a curated program of artistic work sitting at the intersection of electronic music, generative visuals, and speculative technology, featuring live EEG-music performances from Jason J. Snell and Zap Bain, a sub-bass meditation from SENAIDA, and a gong soundbath from KĀ. Together these construct a shared sensory field, inviting the audience not merely to witness but to dissolve into a collective frequency.

Ground Tactics is present to provide tools, inform, and perform on-site, spontaneous Light Body Activations.

This performance involves 5-10 minutes one-on-one interpersonal somatic co-regulation with individuals in the public, including (tuning forks) sound propelled within the body, (within bone structures) applying a multi-sensorial embodiment of harmony. (Light Body Activation) (Activation of Self Awareness)
