【Brainmates Seminar Night Owls Sharing】 is a late night gathering born during the pandemic—a space where a group of “night owls” come together to think, talk, and create. Across four evenings in June, the series invites audiences to explore how art, neuroscience, mindfulness, and mental health intersect, collide, and open new possibilities.
Through conversations, case studies, and creative reflections, the seminar traces a journey from interdisciplinary artistic practice to emotional wellbeing, from contemplative experience to digital transformation. Together, these talks form a shared inquiry into how we understand the mind, how we care for it, and how art can illuminate that path.
The four sessions unfold as a continuous exploration:
Crossing disciplines: The first talk examines how artists step beyond their own field, engaging with other professions to exchange perspectives, combine knowledge, and generate new creative insights.
Mindfulness as creative spark: The second session looks at how mindfulness becomes a source of artistic inspiration, shaping both the creative process and the artist’s own life experience.
The four sessions unfold as a continuous exploration:
• Crossing disciplines: The first talk examines how artists step beyond their own field, engaging with other professions to exchange perspectives, combine knowledge, and generate new creative insights.
• Mindfulness as creative spark: The second session looks at how mindfulness becomes a source of artistic inspiration, shaping both the creative process and the artist’s own life experience.
• Mental health in the arts: The third discussion turns to the lived reality of cultural workers—how they understand mental health, what emotional self care looks like in the field, and what cross sector dialogue can reveal.
• From physical to virtual worlds: The final talk explores how a contemplative installation inspired by mindfulness was reimagined as a virtual mobile experience, revealing the challenges and discoveries of translating art across mediums.
【Brainmates Seminar Night Owls Sharing】 hopes to offer a warm, art filled evening space in uncertain times—an invitation to think with our minds, create with our hearts, and imagine new ways of understanding mental wellbeing through art.
【腦友研討會|夜鬼分享】是一個在疫症期間誕生的跨學科對話平台,由一群「夜鬼」在六月的晚上聚首,以輕鬆而深度的方式,分享圍繞「腦部、創作與精神健康」的多重探索。系列共四講,從藝術創作到靜觀、從精神健康到虛擬轉化,邀請觀眾一起思考:當藝術遇上科學、心理與科技,我們能否看見新的世界。
這四場分享構成了一條探索之路:
從跨學科出發:第一講聚焦藝術家如何走出自身領域,與不同專業交換視角,在碰撞中生成新的創作與思考方式。
從靜觀到創作:第二講帶領觀眾理解靜觀如何成為創作靈感的源頭,並影響藝術家與觀眾的生命經驗。
從業界到精神健康:第三講回到文化藝術工作者的日常,討論情緒自救、精神健康意識,以及跨界合作帶來的洞見。
從實體到虛擬:第四講則展示疫情下的創作轉化,如何把一件源於靜觀體驗的裝置作品拆解、重構,成為虛擬手機版的全新形式。
【腦友研討會 - 夜鬼分享】希望在不確定的時代,為大家打開一個充滿藝術氣息的夜晚,讓我們一起用腦袋、用創意、用對話,重新理解精神健康與創作的可能性。
