I had a one to one session with Warren Neiditch this morning. He made no attempt to disguise his disgust for neuroscience / art collaboration after I described my intended behavioural and fMRI surveys. He went as far as to suggest that scientists and artists shouldn’t collaborate at all.
My project will produce both a scientific paper from Dr Yael Benn and an experimental film by myself. This should, if nothing more, open a dialogue about the methodologies and consequently the potential scope of these diverse approaches to investigation. It was useful to be made aware that this is potentially such a controversial area.
He looked at some of my work and suggested I look at;
Tony Oursler
Catherine Malabou
Anthony Vidler (whom I am aware of through a book about the uncanny and architecture)
Visualising Science by Luke Paul (I think this is right but I can’t find it on-line)
The Beautiful Brian by Noah Hutton
And that I must look into;
Anthropocene (esp Amselm / Dewelt)
Specular ontologies or philosophies
Default mode network
Excelarationism
Cognitive capitalism
He also suggested I join the neuroaesthetics facebook group, however the previous day at the seminar he said he loathed Facebook.
So lots to be getting on with!
He concluded by saying that it would be a year before I realised how much he had given me.
