I wonder if he’s paid in ‘exposure’ 😂

Inside a darkened gallery in Perth, Australia, visitors gather around a glowing platform, staring at what looks like a pair of tiny jellyfish under a microscope. But these aren’t sea creatures, they’re lab-grown brain cells, cultivated from the late experimental music legend Alvin Lucier. And they’re composing music. LIVE!

Welcome to Revivification; a mind-bending fusion of neuroscience and art created by a team of artists and scientists who have spent decades exploring the frontiers of biological creativity. With help from Lucier himself, they took his white blood cells, reprogrammed them into stem cells, and grew mini-brains.

Those brains now sit atop 64 electrodes, pulsing with activity that gets translated into eerie, evolving sounds broadcast from 20 shimmering brass dishes around the room.

But here’s the twist: Lucier’s brain isn’t just creating music... it’s listening too! Microphones in the space capture ambient sounds, feed them back into the organoid, and the system responds. The team hopes the brain might even learn over time. =Lucier may have passed, but thanks to science and sound, his music plays on.
