Neuromatic Game Art: Critical Play with Neurointerfaces – Kickoff of the Artistic Research Project

The Angewandte Innovation Laboratory, AIL

Game Art currently undergoes a rush of presence and importance in the context of artistic research, as it informs methods of insight and experiments. This happens at the same moment as new mobile interfaces linking body, brain, and electronic networks become available in a subtly gamified world. Ludic Theory, the concept of Flow, and the transformative potential of play will serve as theoretical frameworks for a series of publicly performed artistic experiments evolving around neurointerfaces.
Material: massive multiplayer online brain-computer-interface game, user datagram protocoll, internet.
Kickoff of the artistic research project */Neuromatic Game Art: Critical play with neurointerfaces/* Including a demonstration of the #NEUROMATIC BRAINWAVE BROADCAST series, performed ongoing since 3rd April 2020 & Pre_launch of the activist brainwave inversion game#01: NeuroFLOWer
 
Players from Zurich, Vienna and Reno are directly connected via Internet and Brain Computer Interfaces in a custom made neuro-game NeuroFLOWer Game #01 (Betaversion). Including dark patterns of game design, subversive acts of neuro data sonification, activist brainwave communication as a means of expression — performed live online!
 
With members of the Neuromatic research group Vienna/Zurich and guests: Margarete Jahrmann (game art), Stefan Glasauer (computational neuroscience), Johannes Hucek (digital art), Insert Coin Zurich (game design), Charlotta Ruth (artistic research choreography), Thomas Wagensommerer (brainwave sonification), Anna Dobrosovestnova (device philosophy), Zarko Alexsic (neuro art), et al.
 
Special guests: Mark Coeckelbergh (technophilosopy), Ruth Schnell (digital arts), Isabelle Garzorz (experimental neuroscience). 
 
Austrian Research fund FWF/PEEK, lead University of Applied Arts Vienna in cooperation with national and international research partners, Philosophy of Media and Technology, University Vienna, Game Design/ Serious Game Research, Zurich University of the Arts and Computational Neuroscience, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg/ LMU Munich.
