[node-l] Chameleon Project, prototype 08, Lighthouse, Brighton

[tina gonsalves]

Lighthouse welcomes back London based Tina Gonsalves during August for  
a two-week residency, where she will be developing stage 8 of the  
Chameleon Project – an interactive art installation that responds to  
people’s emotions.

During her first residency in March 2009, Gonsalves worked with  
members of the public to test and improve the intelligence of  
Chameleon’s face reading technology. In August, she will be working  
with Experientiae Electricae (an artist group from Paris) and Solent  
University's Rapid Prototyping Group to develop a more sculptural  
implementation of screens.

The Chameleon Project is a collaboration between Tina Gonsalves,   
neuroscientists Chris Frith, Bruno Averbeck and Hugo Critchley,   
affective computer scientists Ros Picard, Rana El Kaliouby from the  
MIT Media Lab and Nadia Berthouze from UCL's Interaction Center and  
media arts curator Helen Sloan SCAN. Chameleon further establishes  
Tina Gonsalves’ links with key research centres internationally  
including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the  
Institute of Neurology (IoN).

Chameleon is funded through a large arts award Wellcome Trust, Arts  
Council England, Australian Network for Arts and Technology,  
Australia  Council for the Arts, Lighthouse, and is supported by UCL,  
Brighton and Sussex Medical School, SCAN, MIT Media Lab and The Banff  
New Media Institute, Canada.
