What happens when our thoughts become data? This Sunday, cognitive scientist, AI researcher, and artist @Albert_DATA presents 𝙎𝙔𝙉𝘼𝙋𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙊𝙉, a live performance that uses a brain-computer interface to transform his brain activity into language, immersive visuals, and sound. As brain-computer interfaces become more powerful, they open up new possibilities for creativity and communication while raising new questions: Who owns our neural data? How should our thoughts be protected? What rights should we have as AI gains new ways of interpreting the human mind? 𝙎𝙔𝙉𝘼𝙋𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙊𝙉 is part of 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞-𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧-𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬, a hybrid evening of research talks, performative lectures, installation, and live performance featuring @Albert_DATA, @kcimc, @entangledothers, @soficrespo91 , @feileacan_net , Esen K.

ANNOUNCING: Albert.DATA Entangled Others Esen K. Tütüncü Kyle McDonald Katie Hofstadter & Memo Akten What happens when AI begins to feel less like a tool and more like an adaptive, expressive, and sometimes unsettling system? On July 26, this pioneering group of artists, researchers, and creative technologists come together for an evening of talks, installation, and live performance exploring AI, embodied perception, ecological imagination, and more-than-human systems. Esen K. Tütüncü (@esenktutuncu) presents “Interfaces That Feel Back: Designing Adaptive, Expressive and Co-Creative Systems,” a talk exploring adaptive interfaces, neuroscience, immersive environments, and co-creative systems. Kyle McDonald’s (@kcimc) “Blind Self-Portrait” installation and talk “How Do We Turn It Off?” move through recent projects with voyagers, whales, robots, surveillance systems, athletes, and anomalous materials to ask how artists can work at the edge of what is technically possible and socially acceptable. Entangled Others (@entangledothers) present “self-contained” & “(di)atomic garden”, tracing how genetics, mutation, DNA encoding, radioactivity, and oceanic contamination can become conceptual and material frameworks for image-making and real-time performative systems. Memo Akten (@memoakten) and Katie Hofstadter (@KatieHofstadter) will present a new project following “Superradiance”, continuing their collaborative research into the entanglements of technology, embodiment, consciousness, culture, AI, data systems, and ecological experience. The evening culminates with 'SYNAPTICON,' a live performance by Albert.DATA (@Albert_DATA) translating brain activity into language and immersive audiovisual expression through a closed-loop AI system. _ Grab your tickets now at grayarea.org/event/albert-da… 🌀 📅 Sunday, July 26 ⏰ 6-8 PM 📍Gray Area / Grand Theater
