Art in the Brain of the Beholder

What can science teach us about how we perceive and understand art? How can art help us understand ourselves and each other? In this event we explore the interactions between our brains and the artistic world, finding connections and parallels between art and science.

In this event we will hear two talks from experts who work at the interface of science and art: Nikolaus Kriegeskorte, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of Cognitive Imaging at the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University, and Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, multidisciplinary artist, educator and activist. Following the talks, Katy Gero, a PhD student in Computer Science at Columbia University, researcher, poet and essayist who studies and designs interactive AI tools with a focus on creative writing, will moderate a conversation with the speakers. Audience questions are welcomed, either submitted during registration or live during the event.

RSVP by Friday, January, 28, 2022; Registration is required.
This event will also be live streamed.
