The Forensic Research In Cognitive Neuroscience and Social Psychology

Multidisciplinary Artist MA RCA | Contemporary Art Practise evelin.maier@network.rca.ac.uk www.theQspace.at https://2023.rca.ac.uk/students/evelin-maier/ PORTFOLIO 2023 The human brain is, in principle, a prediction machine. I am a London-based transdisciplinary artist, sound and filmmaker, researching cognitive neuroscience of our perception, thought, reason, will, and act - to visualise the unseen. Ten years ago, having had a significant eight-hour awake astrocytoma neurosurgery and experiencing post-effects close by the speech centre, brain science became the insight into neurone, how they operate, communicate and form complex neuronal architectures that comprise the human brain and cognitive thinking and perception of speech & recovery. Cognitive science uses the methods of cognitive psychology, such as thought and language and bridges these two domains. This research on society's interaction and effect observes outer and inner elements via Magnetic Resonance Images submersed in contrast fluids, presenting metaphorically the emotional layers. The investigation delves into the intricate interplay between individuals and the effects of boundary issues. The interwoven collaboration between the MRI film and abstract music investigates and delves into the complex interplay between individuals and the impact of social relations. Profoundly impactful, sound noise echoes, and electronic constructions are the social- emotional realm of humanity, unseen. The human heart becomes the emotional mirror of a neuroscience projection, enabling a forest of neurones and a metaphorical analogy of social psychology infused via high-contrast neon colours.

Montez Press Radio Show, Beyond Surface

Beyond Surface Radio 03/28/23 Penarth Centre London Only available in collaboration with Évelin Maier. The aural branch of Beyond Surface: the RCA CAP Festival of 2023, where contemporary artists from around the globe share their stories through recent works. Beyond Surface Radio is a sonic assemblage blending spoken word and poetic interludes exploring the surreal, political, radical and tender. Short stories, soundscapes and conversations are interwoven in this two hour-long broadcast. Beyond Surface Radio features artists who studied on at the Royal College of Art. Running Order: 1.

The Sound Telescope

SCIENCE CITY 1550 - 1800 THE LINBURY GALLERY Science was and still is at the heart. of London. Pondering on all the extensive information, I decided to introduce visitors to science methodologies directly and create an item that can be touched and correlated with. An installation physically ap- proached, by doing, testing a connection and intrigue are spurred. REFRACTING TELESCOPE-GALILEO AND KEPLER The design of the early refracting telescopes consisted of a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece. Galileo improved on this design and applied it to astronomy. In 1611 Johannes Kepler enhanced it with a convex objective lens and a convex eyepiece lens. The sharpness of the image in Kepler’s telescope was limited by the chromatic aberration introduced by the non- uniform refractive properties of the objective lens. The only way to overcome this limitation at high magnifying powers was to create objectives with very long focal lengths. REFLECTIVE TELESCOPE -NEWTON AND HADLEY In late 1668 Isaac Newton built his first reflecting telescope. He chose an alloy (speculum metal) of tin and copper as the most suitable material for his objective mirror. In 1721 John Hadley had solved many of the problems of Newtons version making a parabolic mirror. The size of reflecting telescopes subsequently grew rapidly, with designs doubling in primary mirror diameter. Though post 1800, Leon Foucault invented the process of silvering glass mirrors in 1857, which in addition to the concave mirror shape, triggered further inspiration for my art piece. In this process book, I will focus on the construction and physics of the reflective telescope, particularly the concave mirror. The key inspiration in addition relevant is the sound wave phenomena during the first world-War. The scientific fact that light and sound vectors equally bounce from concave as much as convex Surfaces is the foundation and inspiration for the listening telescope.

Inequality & BBC Electronic Sound Art

ABSTRACT This dissertation expands the discussion regarding three pioneering women within electronic sound art - Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire and Björk Guðmundsdóttir; observing via a multifaceted lens of inequality. It entails philosophical, social, cultural, technological and gender aspects. This thesis investigates what decision women decide upon the attempt of subjectivity towards them in a social environment. What further potentialities to change these encounters could be thought of to foster equality. The argument of inequality reiterates that social relations of any kind, frame people as such. The philosophical side, for particularly Oram and Derbyshire, is presented by Judith Butler. At the same time, Mary Evans, the second author in question, brings a further gender and social viewpoint to the argument. The experimental electronic sound artist Bjork represents the counter argumentation of gender inequality. A minor information stream by the first, second and third feminism post feeds the equality section. John Stuart Mill and Simone De Beauvoir and their fundamental theories are the primary authors. The dissertation concludes with the need for an innovative outward- looking solution with a precise aim for Social Diversity; discovering new ways of thinking, increasing human knowledge, and finding appropriate solutions of fair and just treatment 4 of 67 amidst all genders. In the words of Amartya Sen, Harvard Professor and recipient of Nobel price in 1998: “Being as capable as one can achieve as much as we can is principal the framework of capability and freedom”. The implementation of the equality act 2010 was and still is a milestone and includes the justice required to elevate the playing field for all. The application of sizeable text-based library research, online resources, archival audio research was applied in intercorrelation style. This paper is an overview of relevant deemed thinkers, encouraging to develop an informed opinion.
