Manchester Art Installation Shows Your Brain’s Reaction To Cocktails
Hemingway drank cocktails. I’m just saying that now so that any concerns about masculinity and ‘girly drinks’ are shelved from the get-go. Multimedia artist, Marcos Lutyens has set up an installation that projects arsty scans from EEG headsets worn by people drinking Absolut vodka, and if boozey brain-waves isn’t art then I don’t know what is.
The installation is called ‘FlavourCollider’, because if you’re an artist with an EEG headset and a contract with Absolut, you can name things pretty much whatever you want. Said Lutyens in an interview with Wired:
“I’m more like a kind of orchestra conductor. It’s very multidisciplinary as we’re mixing brain waves with taste with visuals, and bringing them together is where my work sits. What I do like about the visuals is that they emerge mostly out of these algorithms, these equations which allow signals from our brain to create self-generative art.”
The installation runs from 11-14 May in Picadilly Place.
