P300 is a live-to-digital, sculptural performance that was presented at Thames-side Studios on the 30th of September 2023. A giant multiple sculpture, inspired by neural architecture, is probed and manipulated by performers, accompanied by a live electronic score.

The P300 is a specific brain wave that is generated in response to the recognition of a stimulus. Its discovery led to the ‘oddball’ test, a lie detection method used in criminal investigations. P300 imagines a near future in which our intrusive thoughts are being mined by consumer neurotechnologies.

P300 was performed by Travis Yu, Lily Tonkin-Wells and Helle Tviberg. Live vocals by Fionnuala Kennedy. Sound Design by Dominic Kennedy.
