Have you ever wondered whether one can use the brain waves to make music and control digital images? How about this one: can one capture memories of travels between imaginary and physical realities? Or: can one snapshot color of sound?
Claudia Robles and Javier A. Garavaglia will reveal some answers to these questions in an evening which combines real-time visual media, electroencephalogram, DJing, performance, electronic improvisation, with experimental computer music.

2. DJ (1) about Riffs and noises for laptop by Javier A. Garavaglia
3. TRAVELOG # 1 - Nuit Bleue for audiovisual media by Claudia Robles
