Neurocomputing of Performativity Research Group

​​

Led by Gustavo Sol, the research group is based at Belas Artes/SP. Investigates relationships between human-machine interaction interfaces based on artificial intelligence and biophysiological sensing, in order to understand and systematize creative processes in the field of performativity neurocomputation.

 

The iState system is based on low-cost electronics, captures different physiological dimensions (EEG, ECG, GSR and EMG) has an interface in Max msp and makes use of artificial intelligence. iState is used in the creation of the performance Marash, with Rafaella Gasparian.

​

Marash is an autobriographic and performative project that tells the story of his family, who came to Brazil fleeing the Armenian genocide in the 20th century. Since 2022, the performance has been discussed at scientific and artistic events in Brazil and abroad, such as IPPT Tallin (Estonia) and IFTR (USA).

 

Sol presented iState at the Univ. of Toronto, at the DDL_2 Digital Dramaturgy Lab in May 23.

 

In Nov. the Research Group organized its 1st International Colloquium: Armenia: diaspora and interculturality in the arts.
