9月30日晚，AIGA Tech Salon 在跨界中心(Crossover Center)举行。来自纽约Parsons学院的Benjamin Bacon、NOKIA研究院的王霞、触景公司(Senscape)的陆凡、微软研究院的Sergio Paolantonio和肉媒体的吴珏辉分别就各自的领域作了精彩的演讲。吴珏辉以“在干和湿之间/Between Dry & Wet”为线索展开话题，并着重介绍了和清华大学神经工程实验室合作的艺术项目“脑电站”。整个沙龙持续3个小时，但听者不累。AIGA对这次论坛的组织工作做得很到位，尤其体现在对演讲主题的挑选和现场节奏的把控，果然是老牌的国际设计协会。

8月26日，吴珏辉参加由英国普利茅斯大学国际媒体艺术博士研究联盟和上海复旦视觉艺术学院联合举办的“跨文化趋势 | 跨媒介转换 －国际媒体艺术研究会议系列”，演讲主题是“肉媒体”。这是一个马拉松式的研讨会，两天中三个会场平行开会，每天上午下午的时间表排得满满的。各路跨界人马云集上海，信息密度有点让人窒息！

主题
跨文化趋势 | 跨媒介转换
新媒体艺术在全球范围内的推广将来自新老社会，古代或当下的哲学思想，传统与新兴科技的各类理论实践融合在一起，形成新的交点与结构。这其中包含着处于转形之中的对于区域与存在，私人性与社会性，人脑意识与机器的注解。在感性与体制的相交界面，一切固体均化为空气中的虚无… …这些课题构成了将前来上海复旦视觉艺术学院参加“意识重构”研讨会的艺术家，学者，科学家和工程师的主要背景。
研讨会由上海复旦视觉艺术学院新媒体艺术学院副院长胡介鸣先生与英国普利茅斯大学国际媒体艺术博士研究联盟院长罗伊·阿斯科特(Roy Ascott)先生共同主持。

简介
意识重构:后生物时代的艺术与意识研究 
国际媒体艺术研究会议系列
“意识重构”系列研讨会由罗伊·阿斯科特于1997年在英国威尔士大学创办。“意识重构” 是针对艺术,科学,科技和人类意识研究的跨学科论坛,汇集了来自世界各国,与此相关的各个领域的艺术家,设计师,建筑师,表演艺术家,音乐家,作家,科学 家和学者的专业建树。“意识重构”系列研讨会已经在澳大利亚,奥地利,德国和英国等国家成功举办。
从旧社会到新社会,从已奠定的哲学基础到尚待思索的哲学思维,从传统科技到新兴科技, 新媒体艺术全球性的冲击使新的结合形态与新的样貌产生了广泛的理论与实践。这段艺术融合的过程造究了地点与呈现,私人与社会,心智与机械等概念的转变。在 识别性介面与系统介面中,所有物质都烟消云散了⋯⋯
这些课题构成了将前来复旦大学上海视觉艺术学院参加“意识重构”研讨会的艺术家,学者,科学 家和工程师的主要背景。研讨会由复旦大学上海视觉艺术学院新媒体艺术学院副院长胡介鸣先生与英国普利茅斯大学国际媒体艺术博士研究联盟院长罗伊阿斯科特先生共同主持。

Theme
Transcultural Tendencies | Transmedial Transactions
The global impulse in new media art brings together disparate theories and practices from old and new societies, ancient and speculative philosophies, traditional and emergent technologies, into new conjunctions and configurations.
There are transformative notions of place and presence, private and social, mind and machine.
At the interface of sensibilities and systems , all that is solid melts into air…
These issues form the background of the conference of artists, scholars, scientists, and engineers that will constitute Consciousness Reframed at SIVA, convened by Professor HU, Vice-Dean of the College of New Media Art (SIVA, Fudan University) and co-directed by Professor Roy Ascott, Founding President of the Planetary Collegium.

Introduction
Transcultural Tendencies | Transmedial Transactions
International Research Conference on Media Arts
Within the International Research Conference in the Series
Consciousness Reframed: Art and Consciousness in the Post-­Biological Era
The Consciousness Reframed conference series was founded by Roy Ascott at the University of Wales in 1997. Consciousness Reframed is a forum for trans-disciplinary inquiry into art, science, technology, and consciousness, drawing upon the expertise and insights of artists, designers, architects, performers, musicians, writers, scientists, and scholars, from many countries. Consciousness Reframed conferences have taken place in Australia, Austria, China, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

我们探索“脑能”在新媒体艺术中的基因排列，架设个体、群体、生命体、非生命体间的“情感接口”，尝试身体─脑─媒体之间的游戏规则，最终呈现为“脑电站”系列作品。
生物的潜意识流只能在脑的黑匣子里封闭涌动？我们尝试“点燃”脑，使意识的微弱波动增幅并赤裸呈现 。
在 前沿脑机接口（Brain-Computer Interface）的链接下，个体生物能转化为光电能， 头脑被异化为灯泡，成为可见光辐射源。受抽象声波干扰个体情绪后，脑机接口捕捉脑部意识的反馈，最后映射到灯泡的明暗变化。随着情绪波动而变幻的光，也在 个体周围结成辐射性的情绪力场，由此完成输入与输出、感性与理性之间的能量的链式反应。
该项目是TASML（清华大学艺术与科学中心媒体实验室）的试点项目之一，是艺术家与科学家的一次头脑对接。在此，脑机接口不但是一种物理接口，更是一种跨领域的意识接口。

We explore the possibility of using“brain power” in new media art by constructing “emotional interfaces” between the individual and the group, the organism and the non-organism, in experimentation of a game among body — brain — media.
Is the subconsciousness of the living organism only confined to spaces of the mind’s black box? We attemp to ignite the mind, by amplifying the weak brainwaves and translating them into real-world events.
On the basis of the cutting-edge Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology, the biological energy (the electrical activities of the brain) is transformed to a photovoltaic energy: the brain activity is expressed by a light bulb, an emitting source of visible light. When the individual’s moods are affected by abstract sound waves, the BCI captures the reactions of the mind, and projects the brain activity to a light bulb. The light intensity of the bulb changes in accordance to the individual’s mood, forming an emotional force field surrounding the individual, further impacting upon his/her mood. In this process, a chain reaction of energy transfer between input and output, sensibility and sense is established.
“Brain Station” is not only one of TASML’s (Tsinghua Art & Science Media Laboratory) pilot projects, but also an interface between artists and scientists. Here, the brain-computer interface is beyond a physical interface: it is an interface of consciousness between different disciplines.

Visitors experience “Brain Station No.1”by wearing the bulb-like device. the neural electrodes on the participant’s forehead will capture the brainwaves in real time. The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) will then interpret the brainwaves and the extracted information will be projected onto a light bulb, influencing the amount of light emitted. The participant’s brain activity will be externalized as a photovoltaic reaction, thus creating an immersive reactionary experience.

USB器官 USB Organs
2009-2011

Medium:
头盔、头戴式显示器、USB摄像头、USB麦克风、计算机、程序
Helmet, HMD, USB Camera, USB Mic, Computer, Program

一个器官蜕化成USB接口的人，通过外接摄像头、麦克风、扬声器等“USB器官”(USB Organs) 来体验某种存在感。未来的人们或许不再需要肉身，至少器官可以被替换。我们更乐于接受各种“USB器官”的信号，而日渐感受到生理器官的局限。或许，我们最终期盼的是让自己成为一个USB Hub，即插即用。

“延时器官”是USB器官系列作品之一，头盔内嵌一副HMD(头戴式显示器)和一个麦克风，同时外接一个USB摄像头和一个USB麦克风，通过设定延时长度，来决定感官世界与客观世界的时差──身处现在与过去两个时间流，体验由延时导致的时空错位感。作品向观众开放，现场观众可以穿戴该设备自行体验。

A person whose organs have evolved into USB sockets is connected to cameras, microphones and speakers as his sensory substitutes to feel his existence. A future human being may not need a corporal body, at least his / her organs can be exchanged with electronic devices. We anticipate our body as a universal plug / sockets that can be utilized at any moment and at any place.

The audience wears a helmet that is equipped with a head mounted display and a earphone. A USB camera and USB microphone are also connected to the helmet, which function as tentacles to sense the external world. The audience experiences temporal and spatial dislocation via a preconfigured duration of time-lapse which determines the time difference caused by the two time streams: time obtained through the audio-visual senses within the helmet and the time projected from outside the helmet.

“脑电站”项目接受新加坡Apostrophe Films制作的系列艺术专题节目的采访。7月5日，节目制作组赴北京清华大学脑神经工程实验室对“脑电站”项目小组的吴珏辉、邵鼎及张丹进行了一天的采访，并参观了TASML。

采访主题是艺术家和科学家如何跨界创作以及脑电站系列作品的基本理念。
在神经工程实验室实验室内，“脑电站”小组演示了脑机接口（BCI）的实验过程，并对脑电站作品的艺术观念和操作方式及可能性进行了探讨。

节目制片人Pearl对吴珏辉、邵鼎和张丹进行了个人访谈。吴珏辉和邵鼎主要介绍了“肉媒体”在新媒体领域的探索实践，以及对艺术家和科学家共同创作艺术作品方式的认知，张丹主要介绍了脑电站作品背后的神经科学知识和技术实现方式。

在阿角的安排下，5月31日，吴珏辉和邵鼎等一行4人，驱车前往新车间参加Dorkbot。吴珏辉和邵鼎分别对“肉媒体”和当时正在制作中的随境成象作品“非建筑/Non-Architecture”（大型3D建筑投影）做了一番讲演。碰巧的是，长存哥当天也做演讲。驻扎在旧厂房中的“新车间”充满了电子元件的气息，DIY的开放氛围和不加修饰的空间风格让人感觉格外放松，不装逼。

作为学院间的交流项目，吴珏辉在德国科隆媒体艺术学院Haide教授的课程中做了一次workshop。
