Synaisthesis Live

Experience the standing-wave acoustics and binaural-beating patterns. In partnership with TechnoSonics Festival, the Omnisonan Project, a new ensemble in the Contemplative Commons, launches its debut immersive light and sound exhibit, Synaisthesis in The CSC Conservatory. Omnisonan is a neuroart collaboration between Karianne Michelle (sound bowls), Matthew Burtner (computer music), R. Lee Kennedy (digital lighting), and David Acunzo (neuroscience). This intermedia contemplative performance installation creates a 60-minute immersive convergence. Experience the standing-wave acoustics and binaural-beating patterns of crystal-alchemy sound bowls, computer-based physical sound models, and synchronized, computer-controlled lighting. Join the CSC and TechnoSonics for the debut of this live neuroart creation in The Conservatory.

Other option: Emmet/Ivy Garage UVA employees can purchase a $9.25 daily parking pass through the UVA parking portal. If you already hold an Emmet/Ivy Garage permit, you can park as usual.
