[help me know the truth] is a participatory artwork in which visitors become part of the work across the exhibition. Participants first snap a digital portrait at a small photo booth at the entrance to the show, and their images are used in the work. In the gallery, participants can choose between two slightly altered portraits to match the text label shown on digital devices. By selecting slight variations of the images over time, differing facial features emerge that reveal larger unconscious beliefs about facial features or tendencies related to culture and identity. The project uses a process called "reverse correlation" from computational neuroscience to capture these beliefs.
In conjunction with her exhibition at the Art | Sci CNSI Gallery during the month of March, Mary Flanagan joins Eddo Stern and the UCLA Game Lab to give a hands on workshop on games and activism.
The UCLA Art | Sci Center joins the graduate students of the Design | Media Arts department at UCLA in inviting the public to visit their studios. Explore new work and enjoy light refreshments, guided studio tours, and musical performances. Stop by to meet the Art | Sci team, hang out in the studio, and check in on our current projects.

BRAINSTORMING: EMPATHY
by Victoria Vesna
A performance/experience work created in close collaboration with neuroscientist
Mark Cohen.
Exploring the possibilities of brain to brain communication as a part of a larger area
of research into the physical associates of mental processes such as emotions and
feelings, this has evolved to include the idea of embodied intelligence in the form
of an octopus crown worn by participants.
