Event
Equilibrium: LOVE
Equilibrium is new event from the folks at Langton Labs and Down to a Science. Every month, we'll craft a unique experience all around a singular theme. Kicking off the series will be "LOVE"
When you arrive, you'll be able to play with some love-inspired interactive art, mingle with liked-minded nerds, and of course visit the bar (stocked with special aphrodisiac cocktails). At 8, we'll dive into the talks: You'll here about neurophysiology of love, what it takes to keep love alive in a relationship, and more than you ever wanted to know about the online dating world. Around 930, Steve Taylor takes the stage with a special acoustic set of his inspired tracks. And their might even be a guest DJ to help close the night, just so your feet has a chance to catch up with your brain. It's going to be nerdtacular minus the action figures.
There will be a cash bar as well.
Talks
The Neurophysiology of Love with Dr. Kiki Sanford
---------------------------------------------------------
New love can look for all the world like mental illness, a blend of mania, dementia and obsession that cuts people off from friends and family and prompts out-of-character behavior - compulsive phone calling, serenades, yelling from rooftops - that could almost be mistaken for psychosis. Kirsten will discuss the recent brain imaging research that explains some of our compulsive behavior when we are bitten by the love bug.
Dr. Kiki is a PhD scientist (Neurophysiology) who somehow escaped from the lab and is now making my way in independent Science media and journalism. http://www.kirstensanford.com/
Love Will Keep Us Together? with Jerry Candelaria
---------------------------------------------------------
Almost every love story begins like a fairy tale. Relationship beginnings are always incredible and they can often experience a renaissance following wedding, honeymoon, or even a special anniversary. Couples often find that the love and romance becomes more of a challenge to keep alive when their lives evolve with jobs, children, and other life commitments. Sometimes love and romance can get lost in the shuffle of life. So can Captain and Tenille be right? Is Love good enough to keep you together?
Jerry has an extensive background in coaching individuals & couples in the areas of intimacy, communication, life purpose and producing powerful life changing results. He is a bit of a ham as well. http://www.jccoaching.com/
Jungle Love with Jody Gillerman
---------------------------------------------------------
As the saying goes, we evolved from the apes, but did we inheir the same relationship issues? Jody talks about her experiences observing the complex interrelationships between chimpanzees at the St. Louis Zoo. She developed the "Chimp Finder", a LIAISON system (Live Interactive Animal Identification System and Observation Network) which provides the Zoo visitor a connection to the animals never previously experienced. "Chimp Finder" provides access to the animals, their individual and group habits as well as the activity of their daily lives.
Professor JoAnn (Jody) Gillerman is an innovative media artist, videographer, and educator exploring the integration of art, science, culture and technology. She is currently a Professor of fine arts at California College of the Arts and founded a media arts company Viper Vertex (http://www.vipervertex.com)
Interactive Art (Participation is Encouraged)
I Love You Because...
---------------------------------------------------------
If you could complete the phrase I love you because . . . how would you do it? Why do you love who you do? How would you illustrate that actually spelling out the words I love you because . . . (insert your reason here) in the photo? I realize that it is sometimes hard to articulate why we love who we do. Therein lies the challenge (and the reward) of this project.
You'll be able to make your own ILYB photo on the spot with the artist Alexander Warnow: http://www.ilyb.org/
Empath
---------------------------------------------------------
An interactive project that, as you sit and talk with someone, will display both peoples excitement and stress levels in LED light. From the mind of Jean Rintoul.
Music
Steve Taylor of the Steve Taylor Band
---------------------------------------------------------
Playing with a passion and honesty that's lost on most contemporary artists, Steve merges the heart-on-your-sleeve confessional style of Joni Mitchell, the northern soul of Van Morrison, and the pop hooks of T-Rex, and filters them through a progrock lense, creating a soundscape that's both modern and unironically influenced by 70's AM rock: http://www.myspace.com/stevetaylorband
