Social Event

Thursday, August 14, 7:00 pm – 12:00 am, Ijver

Cost: $45

Join us for a, unforgettable CCN2025 social evening at IJver Terras Bar.

Nestled in Amsterdam North's iconic N.D.S.M. wharf. On Thursday, August 14th, we'll embark on a journey across the water to reach this industrial-turned-cultural hotspot. The evening features a seven-course walking dinner (including vegan and vegetarian options). For the first three hours, enjoy complimentary drinks including a curated selection of four specialty beers alongside red and white wines. The evening will be filled with further elements organized by the local organizing committee, including an opportunity to socialize while playing traditional Dutch games, and to experience a special immersive music act by artists from the AIAR collective!

‘Brain Storm’: live brain-controlled music act by AIAR collective

AIAR collective consists of an international and interdisciplinary team of artists and neuroscientists, who integrate brain imaging tools into various artistic practices. At the CCN social event, Federico Murgia and Basile Aether will create an immersive audio-visual performance based on brain oscillations live-recorded with EEG. This promises to be an unforgettable experience! For a taster of previous projects by AIAR collective members, see their webpage and Instagram, as well as a video documentary on a recent brain-controlled experience on memories and sleep.
