The exhibition is now over, after taking place on 27 and 28 May at Doca Pesca F, Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon. U The idea of uniting Science, Technology and Art, and the use of immersive technologies, has created a fusion that has helped to blur existing boundaries, even between the real and the virtual.
The moment has been a pretext to present the new program that is being created and that links fundamental research in neuroscience to human health, since The Champalimaud Foundation believes that this is the right time to expand our knowledge to a more immediate impact.. “This program represents nothing less than the opportunity to revolutionize medicine around these same pillars, leveraging the world’s behavioral neuroscience and technology to create a new arm of medicine, complementary and integrated with the existing approach. . We aim to shape our collective future toward a longer, more resilient, and more complete way of life for all of humanity.“, as well as the details of the shared information.
Metamersion is an immersion in a new kind of fabric, which has the power to engage and stimulate our senses and thoughts, play with the rules of perception and create a new creative space where we can build infinite realities.
“Science, we seek the truth and the knowledge of the world. Art seeks the same, exploiting human creativity and ingenuity towards reflection. Selected pieces and manifestations of Metamersion offer a kind of antechamber to a world where “Arts and Science meet in research and therapy. Tools,” the organization said.
Some of the works that have been exhibited can still be viewed online, and you can see more details by clicking on the image gallery.

metamersion Augenblick, Lunar Ring Augenblick’s installation (“Blink of an Eye”) uses real-time AI-mediated “style transfer” to discover new ways to interact between humans and creative machines. A camera is installed in front of the public. With that “eye,” the audience can search for other forms of interaction and the videos are transmitted over deep neural networks and processed by a supercomputer, which creatively reinvents the environment and reflects it on the screen.

metamersion Haita, Tupac Martyr Haita (“River”) was born from the imagination of how a ballerina’s choreography can be explored from the inside, using recordings and images from the inside of the human body, reformulated in new ways in environments. virtual. The piece was developed during an art-science residency at the Champalimaud Foundation, using creative technology developed by Satore Studio.

metamersion At the beach, Werner Haas A collection of pictures systematically taken from a window to people on the beach. The low resolution combined with the digital post-production intervention converts the portraits into a kind of dance of human behavioral notations, an evocative ethogram, the meaning of which is revealed to us through postures and gestures. In the image, the deliberately large human forms, however, expose the inner states of the subjects in relation to intention and emotion, highlighting the richness of the behavior as a lens for internal complexity. . Despite the static nature of work, our brain absorbs information and uses it to construct dynamic narratives.

metamersion Mindpod – MSquare Healthcare, Mindmaze Highly immersive animated gaming experience – based on evidence and prescribed protocols – MindPod Dolphin is designed to promote recovery of motor skills and cognitive function. For stroke sufferers, it comes with an anti-gravity vest that reduces the weight of the arm and trains fine limb control of the upper limb, encouraging continuous exploration of its immersive ocean environment. The dolphin invites patients to “be” themselves and the software algorithm stretches their mind and body in hopes of maximizing recovery.

metamersion Polylith, Collaborative Work, Champalimaud Neuroscience Polylith are a series of interactive installations aimed at simulating a deep and compelling connection with different natural environments. The experiments are mediated by body tracking technology, which allows parallax simulation and naturalistic changes in the soundscape. By closing the cycle between the machine and the observer, the viewer is invited to leave the physical world behind and fall into a virtual world, where new realities can be flexibly generated to study and form internal mental states.
