Body Electric Exhibition & Concert
Dec
5
7:00 PM19:00

Body Electric Exhibition & Concert

Presented by York University’s Department of Computational Arts and Sensorium, this immersive exhibition and live concert explore new ways of integrating biophysical data with music and digital arts.

Inspired by Walt Whitman's visionary poem "I Sing the Body Electric," this exhibition reimagines the body as a network of electric impulses, voltages, and signals that both generate and transmit lived experiences. Body Electric brings together artists, researchers, performers, and technologists who explore the inner electrical life of the human body through biophysical sensing. By capturing physiological signals such as brainwaves (EEG), heart rhythms (ECG), and muscle activity (EMG), the exhibition reveals the hidden languages of the body — not as metaphor, but as material, as data, as expression.

Amy performs a piece for violin, electronics, and biophysical data called “Geo Neuro Echo” by Gene Coleman. More information here.
