JoAnn Kuchera-Morin - The AlloSphere, a deeper integration of art and science, and the new senses we need now

JoAnn Kuchera-Morin is a composer. But the music she writes is more than mere notes; it embraces art and science and engineering and finds new frontiers at the intersection of them all. Her 'music' is both song and her research into new modes of immersive, interactive scientific and artistic investigation. Through art as with science, her work seeks to create as she says, "an exponential rise in consciousness."Show Notes:Pythagoras - a rock is music frozen in time (09:00)Evolving according to where our culture is (11:20)Iannis Xenakis (12:30) Peripersonal and Extrapersonal space (15:40)AlloSphere (17:00 and 36:00)TED Talk - a new way to seeData sonification Origins episode #7 with Matt RussoBuddhist principle of impermanence (22:10)In Love with the World by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche (23:00)New field of "Digital Multimedia" (28:30)Computer science and electrical engineeringSignal processing and programmingMusic and visual artsMedia Arts and Technology Program (29:50)Proprioception (39:10)Paideia (40:30)How do we go from the familiar to the strange?
