Tonight: Science and Music at the Hayden Planetarium

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Travel Trip NYC Buildings Come to the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West at 79th) tonight for “Machover, Minsky, and Music in the Dome.” Legendary composer and inventor Tod Machover and Artificial Intelligence visionary Marvin Minsky explor how our brain creates and conjures thoughts, emotions and memories when they revisit their landmark musical experiment, The Brain Opera, and offer an exclusive sneak peak at Machover’s upcoming opera, Death and the Powers. The newest opera, using specially designed technology, including a chorus of robots, is a groundbreaking MIT Media Lab production that considers what we leave behind for the world and our loved ones. The program, a collaboration with the World Science Festival, is sure to make for an entertaining and unique evening.
