São Paulo, Brazil (February 2014)
Research and creative residency with the Institute of Mathematics and Art (Instituto de Matematica e Arte) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, February 14 to 23, 2014.

‘MindFluctuations’, an innovative project co-autored by Maida Withers and Tania Fraga, is made possible by recent neuroscience research and a virtual interface that allows experimental and interactive artwork to emerge from the visualization resulting from the dancers’ emotive and expressive states with the computer. Through this project the audience will experience how the fluctuations of a human mind affect automated machine processes, something inconceivable in the recent past.  Emotiv Neuro Headset (http://emotiv.com).
