This is very cool Lisa. Thanks for sharing this link.

It makes think that with such a creative community as we have here, things like this could take hold here too. It is through these kinds of actions (as depicted in the video you shared) that we learn a lot about ourselves, and our society.

Now that you mention it, Andy, it totally seems like the type of project the "pyschographic" experimenters at ProvFlux would do.

I can imagine it in the Providence Place Mall.

Has anyone seen or heard about this?

http://www.brainwavenyc.org/ 

According to the group putting this on--

BRAINWAVE asks how art, music, and meditation affect the brain and offers countless answers in more than a hundred public events, ranging from an exhibition of contemporary art and a cinema series to cutting-edge concerts, performances, talks, and panels.

This "only in New York" cultural festival is organized by six New York institutions: Rubin Museum of Art, Exit Art, Science & the Arts at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, The Philoctetes Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, and the School of Visual Arts, in association with the Public Programs/American Museum of Natural History.

After also seeing Lisa Carnevale's last post on "Freeze Grand Central", it also got me thinking that we could probably do something similar to BRAINWAVE, but maybe focusing our efforts on the arts and design world (with so many various perspectives, our academic assets and cool entrpreneurial community), we may be able to do something equally as cool (without being a copycat).

If anyone would like to explore this further over a cup of coffee, let me know.
