Almost there...
Welcome to Seeing Music, ! One last thing before you move onto the exhibit: We'd like your help with our research! This exhibit is part of scientific research being undertaken by Sebastian Lobbers and Charalampos Saitis at QMUL and Christine Cuskley at Newcastle University.
While you interact with our exhibit, we'd like to collect some information about what you learn and how you react to the music. Any data we collect from you will be completely anonymous and only used for reasearch and teaching purposes. Click here to find out more about how we'll use your data.
By clicking 'Yes' below, you confirm that you are over 18 and consent to participate in this research. If you are under 18 (or would rather not take part in the research), just click 'No'. You'll have access to the full exhibit regardless, and everything is family friendly. However, only visitors over 18 can consent to us using their data for our research for ethical reasons.

LEARN
Digital Exhibition
Humans are multi-modal creatures, with a complex web of sensory and perceptual systems. We communicate using our voices, our bodies, and complex technologies. This exhibition uses a series of custom interactive slideshows to help you learn more about sensory experience, sensory diversity, and how our senses make us human. Click on the gallery below to get started with our interactive exhibition! More coming soon!

Music is powerful. As people listen to it, they can be affected. They respond.
We will be entering a strange world where composers will be mingling with capacitors, computers will be controlling crotchets and, maybe, memory, music and magnetism will lead us towards metaphysics.
LIVE EVENTS
Seeing Music Live
Two live virtual events with musicians, scientists, and members of the public were held on Gather Town during the Edinburgh International Science Festival in June and July 2021. Moving around a virtual version of the Oram Ship (see image), participants discussed their 'Seeing Music' experience, asked interesting questions about science and the senses, and attended live online performances by musicians who improvised live on visuals drawn interactively and collaboratively by the audience.
