THE HUM: ‘Inventing Sensations’ is a public panel discussion which will look at ways lab based experiments within the brain sciences, are being critically explored through art, design, architecture and dance to create embodied, performed and experiential encounters.

THE HUM is a series of events produced by Amy Croft, artist-in-residence at the Interactive Architecture Lab, with support from The Leverhulme Trust. THE HUM provides moments when the background hum of Croft’s research at UCL comes to the fore, exploring internal states of being, with invited experts who have informed her ongoing work.
Amy Croft works across sculpture, video, photography, writing, installation and curation. During her ten-month residency, Croft will develop a body of new artworks with neuroscientists and interaction designers at UCL. Her project will explore ways that our phenomenological experience of environments interfaces with mind-wandering or daydream, both at present and through future applications of brain knowledge in design. Amy will speculate on ways technologies could be used to harness and amplify mind-wandering, or negate it altogether.
This first HUM event is hosted in partnership with the Performance Interactions Lecture Series (PIxLS) held by the Bartlett’s new master programme: MArch Design for Performance and Interaction.
