The Perception of Beauty with the Lab of Misfits @ National Sawdust, Brooklyn, NY

  • National Sawdust 80 North 6th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11249 United States (map)

How do we perceive beauty? Perception is a foundation of human experience, but how does it actually work? Why do we embrace one piece of music or style but dislike another? How do time and context affect our likes and aversions?

NationalSawdust+ presents the Lab of Misfits in a mind-expanding evening, “The Perception of Beauty,”conceived by neuroscientist Beau Lotto and musician Oded Lev-Ari. Join an evening of audience experiments, musical demonstrations, and conversation that reveal the invisible matrix that govern the way we experience sound, investigate notions of beauty, and explore imperfection.
