Through state-of-the-art technology and immersive soundscapes, visitors to the four main Frameless galleries will delve into the depths of their own neural responses. From cloud formations to mesmerising starling murmurations, each visual element intricately reflects the emotions evoked by music. Pioneering musician Imogen Heap and her nine-year-old daughter, participants in the initial brain data capture, will have their pre-recorded brainwaves showcased in the ‘Murmurations’ Gallery, synchronised with Imogen's ambient track Cumulus in surround sound.
Gala Wright, Brainstorms' curator, believes visualising brain data offers an intuitive way to understand music's personal and shared nature.
