Massimo Pigliucci & Performance Artist Amy Caron: Waves of Mu
Join CFI for a special performance of performance artist Amy Caron's WAVES OF MU, a much-anticipated neuroscience-based art installation/performance work. This special performance will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Skeptical Inquirer's Massimo Piggliuci.
Kick off your shoes (literally) and step into a universe like none other. Informed by the monumental discovery of mirror neurons and created alongside world-renowned neuroscientists, (according to neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran, "The discovery of mirror neurons is the most important unpublicized story of the decade," doing for psychology what DNA has done for biology), Amy Caron's beautifully complex two-room installation-performance drives multidisciplinary art headlong into new territory. Her warped lab/lecture/experiment gives a nod and a wink to hard science while cleverly activating her "test subjects" to cheer, cringe, and discover through experience, a new awareness of the profundity of our interpersonal world.
- Valentina Dilda PhD: studies motor systems at Mount Sinai and worked in the Gallese/Rizzolati lab in Parma when mirror neurons were discovered
- Lindsay Oberman PhD: Currently a research Fellow at Harvard who worked with Ramachandran on mirror neuron research.
- Massimo Pigliucci PhD: An evolutionary biologist, philosopher of science, and representative for the Center for Inquiry
