SG @ ELECTRIC PICNIC: SUNDAY

Science Gallery brings their blockbuster summer show BIORHYTHM: Music and the Body to Electric Picnic 2010 to present BIORHYTHM LIVE. With over 35,000 visitors so far, BIORHYTHM is the hottest ticket in Dublin, so we're taking the show on the road bringing sonically minded festival-goers buzz-worthy, pop performances, acoustic experiments and workshops exploring the natural forces that drive us to sing, strum, drum and dance.

We'll also be bringing Science Gallery favorites IGNITE, Mindball Tournament and Irish Robotics Club along with world record attempts and performing BIORHYTHM scientists. Of course Science Gallery Shop will be at the ready with the best electro-accessories to kit out tech-savvy picnicers.

Poi spinning kits, wind-up torches that can charge your phone, T-qualizer t-shirts that light up when the volume is right, SG hoodies and Picnic Survival Kits will all be on offer.

BODY SNATCHER

Ever found it strange to hear your voice played back to you? What does your heart beat sound like remixed? Can the sounds of your body make a hit song? Find out with BODY SNATCHER at Electric Picnic. BODY SNATCHER is an audiovisual installation by artists Alex Dowling and Sinéad Meaney that captures and manipulates sounds that visitors create using their bodies. Have the sounds of your body chopped up, stretched and mangled while immersive visuals shift around the walls of Science Gallery's tent.

EMOTION IN MOTION

12:00-18:00

Join the mohawk-mixers from Queens University's Sonic Arts Research Centre (S.A.R.C.), as they turn picnicers into human wires in Chain of Emotion. First, see if you can locate the metallic contact points hidden throughout Science Gallery Tent. Next, grab your friends- or any nearby body- to create a human chain and connect the points to complete the sound-generating circuit. Different contact points trigger various sounds and tunes throughout the tent, creating an interactive environment of elaborate soundscapes. To explore the sonic options adjust the length of the chain, the people in it and see what happens when you change your emotions- would we like you when you're angry? And just for funsies, adjust your level of flesh on flesh contact to vary the total resistance of the wire to change the volume.
