This promises to be one of the most fascinating events of the exhibition.

Following a significant neurological diagnosis in 2021, interdisciplinary artist Alicia Parham transformed her artistic practice by incorporating neuroscience into her work. Using a bespoke brainwave reading program, Alicia visualizes brain activity in real time, translating alpha, beta, delta, theta, and gamma brainwaves into color, line, form, and composition. These visualizations become the foundation for her striking abstract paintings.

Guests will have the opportunity to experience the process firsthand by participating in the demonstration, seeing their own brainwave patterns visualized in real time, and learning how Alicia transforms these invisible signals into extraordinary contemporary works of art. It is a fascinating intersection of science, technology, and artistic expression—and an experience unlike anything you've likely encountered before.
