a great article about future implications of neurotek ... this part was of particular interest..

ZL: Neuroaesthetics. Neuroaesthetics is an emerging discipline that looks at understanding the neural and aesthetic basis of artistic creativity and achievement. It has fabulous potential for creating whole new art forms. For example, what does a Van Gogh sound like? Can you give me synaesthesia for two hours?

On my blog I wrote about Brainwave Chick. Brainwave Chick is a woman at Mississippi State University who hooks electrodes up to her head and has a synthesizer that plays emotions. She puts herself in different states and you get to hear her brain. It’s called neural audio. And then there’s ArtBlog. He just put up a digital coloring system that changes every time you go to the website.
The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night. We've never heard a greater painting.
Every time you reload it, they change. These are examples of how information technology has transformed art, architecture and entertainment. What will neurotechnology allow us to do? How will they expand artistic creativity and expression?

I’m spending the next six months finishing my book and I’m trying to understand how art shapes culture. And the example that I use is Cubism camouflaging cultural change. Camouflage was only possible with cubism. And I wrote in the blog on it. And camouflage changed World War I totally. It completely shifted the battlefield because the U-boats could not find the ships anymore on their periscopes. The objects weren’t big enough. And for six months, the Brits were able to get everything that they wanted over to the mainland without getting sunk. And it altered the war.
