Sept. 12th - 9:00am PST / 18:00 CET Vibrations Matter: Art & Science of Deep Listening
TUNE IN TO THIS OPEN MIC IMPROVISATIONAL BREATHING AND VIBRATING -SESSION - JOIN THE SCIENTISTS AND ARTISTS WHO WORK WITH FREQUENCIES AND VIBRATIONS!
Victoria Vesna, Anuradha Vikram, James Gimzewski, Carlo Ventura, Charles Taylor, Siddharth Ramakrishan, and all sound artists who were featured and members of the Art Sci Collective --Anna Nacher, Yolande Harris, Joel Ong, Kaitlin Bryson, Saša Špačal, Ivana Dama, Clinton Van Arnam, John Brumley and SPECIAL GUESTS!!!
DAYS 1, 2, 3, 4 Recordings are coming soon!
Victoria Vesna was moderating the discussions part of the research for the Getty Pacific Standard time Art X Science exhibition in 2024, and co-curator and collaborator Anuradha Vikram was joining from Los Angeles.
We started by breathing with Anna Nacher who joined us from Slovakia, on the second day Yolande Harris took us on a walk at the shores of the Pacific coast and we dived underwater following the whales and were joined by marine scientist in California Ari Friedlander and curator from Italy Gabriela Galati. Day three Joel connected us to the air element with clouds and sonic memories and yesterday he was joined by John Brumley. Day four, Kaitlin Bryson and Saša Špačal brought us back to earth exploring the mycelium networks and story- telling.
OUR COLLECTIVE MEMBERS PARTICIPATING IN PERSON @ ARS ELECTRONICA 2021 in LINZ!
Ivy Lovett
Art|Sci Collective member is a part of Festival University: “Transform your World” by Ars Electronica and Johannes Kepler University. This inaugural program is taking place in a hybrid form, with participants joining online as well as in-person in Linz, Austria, between Aug. 30th, 2021, and Sept. 19th, 2021.
Up to 100 young people from all around world with different cultural and educational backgrounds will gather to explore and define new ways towards digital transformation and transformational change.
John Brumley
ArtSci collective member John Brumley developed a site-specific, location-based sound app called Wanderline, so that riders of the Linz tram system can listen to their movement across the city. Wanderline is a project to transform the world’s transportation networks (buses, streetcars, trains, roads, routes, walkways, etc.) into a new musical experience. Throughout 2020 and 2021, humanity faced a pandemic which limited our ability to travel and physically connect with other people. After having experienced profound isolation and travel restrictions, what kind of journeys will we make when we emerge from this pandemic? Wanderline is a location-based, audiovisual application that allows new travelers to enjoy music that can only be heard in a specific place. Wanderline can be experienced by installing the app on a smartphone and physically traveling along the featured “line” in geographic space.

Pressure-Cuff Actuated Emergency Use Resuscitator System
Eurus is an emergency use resuscitator system that uses readily available medical supplies paired with an open-source electronic module that clinicians can use in the event of ventilator shortage. It provides Control and Assist/Control emergency ventilation to improve the survival prospects of patients compromised by COVID-19. The design automates a manual resuscitator (Ambu bag), that is squeezed by a blood pressure cuff which is actuated by the medical air and vacuum ports located in each patient room in the hospital. The air inflates the cuff, squeezing an Ambu bag, and the vacuum quickly releases the air from the cuff, reinflating the resuscitator. This mechanism uses two electro-mechanical valves controlled by 4 dials that set the breaths per minute, approximate tidal volume, Inhalation to Exhalation (I:E) ratio, and inhalation pressure sensitivity. It has a disposable pressure sensor in the patient airway that continuously monitors for safety and to assist patient breath.
Eli Joteva
IntraBeing premieres at Ars Electronica tomorrow! On site at JKU Unicenter Building floor 1 & online at intrabeing.joteva.com
We are delighted to announce the beginning of “STEAM Imaging III,” the interdisciplinary exploration of digital medicine and the human body, by Fraunhofer MEVIS and Ars Electronica in collaboration with the International Fraunhofer Talent School and the School Center Walle, Bremen and the UCLA ArtSci Center, Los Angeles, USA. This year, the artist in residence will be Eli Joteva, a Bulgarian intermedia artist and researcher based in Los Angeles, USA. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from UCLA Design Media Arts and is a member of the UCLA Art Sci collective. The concept of her artwork entitled “IntraBeing” is guided by the questions: What lies within the bounds of being? How do our physical bodies and their virtual representations affect one another? “IntraBeing” unfolds the potentials that arise from the intra-active relationship between material reality and virtual models in digital medicine and our extrasensory environments. The project will investigate the measuring and modeling capacities of medical imaging and simulation procedures to re-imagine the enigmatic spaces that emerge at the limits of their resolution and computation.
We are grateful to our partners GETTY, LEONARDO/ISAST, and CNSI
The UCLA ArtSci Collective comes together as a hybrid organism consisting of artists, scientists, humanitarians, ecologists, creative technologists and generally inquisitive humans all around the world. If you would like to be involved, please reach out to artscicenter@gmail.com
