EEG- and Biofeedback applied in Interactive Arts

17. Juni 2011, 10.00 bis 15.00 Uhr Kunstuniversität Linz, Kollegiumg. 2

Die Abteilung Interface Cultures lädt zum Gastvortrag mit Chris Veigl.

Electrophysiological signals like Electrocardiogram (ECG) or Electroencephalogram (EEG) have been used for artistic purposes since decades.
This lecture gives an overview on the used technology and the prerequisites for your own biosignal projects. Furthermore, some examples of installations and performances involving bodysignals and practical demonstrations will be given.

Christoph Veigl studied Sociology, Computer Science and Medical Informatics in Vienna. He is a co-founder of the Syntharturalistic Art Association (Shifz) and the Roboexotica Festival for Cocktail Robotics. He exhibits robotic artwork and interactive installations involving biofeedback since the 1990ies throughout Europe and in the US. Christoph Veigl currently lives in Vienna and teaches at the Institute for Embedded Systems, University of Applied Sciences, Technikum Wien, where he also works in an Assistive Technology research project.
