—— What lies behind those butterflies you feel when you fall in love? What makes one person’s dream date a nightmare for another? Does romance really exist or do our genes precondition us to seek out particular partners? Love has been the inspiration for songwriters, poets and artists from the beginning of time but now scientists are suggesting that it’s all a matter of chemistry…

2010 started with an exploration of the science of desire in the month-long LOVE LAB. This Lab in the Gallery allowed the visitor to explore attraction and desire through nine research experiments from a number of disciplines including LOVE LAB neuroscience, physiology, psychology, endocrinology, biochemistry and genetics, and the involvement of 13 researchers, all from Trinity College Dublin.—— Launched to coincide with Valentine’s Day it featured a rich programme of events which included the world’s first neuroscientific HYPERBOLIC CROCHET study of speed dating and an evening of dining in the dark led by Dana Salisbury. […] As a researcher I findS cience Gallery to CORAL REEF be a very open and collaborative space, the experience of creating research experiments for exhibitions at Science Gallery is invaluable; there is no other place where I would have BIORHYTHM been able to acquire so many volunteers to participate in my research and the research within the Multisensory Cognition Lab, Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience.

Created by Australian twins Margaret and Christine Wertheim, of the Institute For Figuring in Los Angeles, the reef is one of the largest community art projects in the world engaging both the disciplines of science and mathematics through the art of crochet.

Initially created as a response to the threat that Global Warming poses to the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of LOVE LAB Queensland, Australia, the reef also illustrates a geometry called hyperbolic space which is realised naturally in coral reefs and is best modelled through the use of the traditional craft of crochet. During its Science Gallery run, the reef received two welcome additions, the Irish Reef – a satellite […] Science Gallery is a place where scientific HYPERBOLIC CROCHET reef created by volunteers throughout Ireland – and the Maths Chapel.

—— What makes us dance? Why do we sing the blues? Could there be a formula for the perfect hit? Music is a central part of the human experience, but what is the natural force that drives us to sing, drum and dance? What is the scientific basis of whistling, humming and toe tapping?

These are just some of the questions Science Gallery’s flagship show BIORHYTHM: Music and the Body explored. In addition to the highly interactive exhibition, BIORHYTHM had a range of events ranging from workshops on beatboxing through to the large scale productions of the LOVE LAB BIORHYTHM LIVE experience, which explored the themes of rhythm, emotion and voice. —— BIORHYTHM also saw the beginning of the world’s largest study of emotional responses to music in a unique experiment created by the Sonic Arts Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast. HYPERBOLIC CROCHET Researchers hooked visitors up to a number of sensors to measure their emotional and physical response to different music. Over 4,000 responses were collected in three months, enabling the researchers to study the impact of CORAL REEF music on emotion. —— Elements of the BIORHYTHM experience were also made available outside the Gallery, with a significant presence at theO xegen and Electric Picnic festivals. Through our broadcast partnership with Phantom BIORHYTHM 105.2FM, we reached a large audience of music lovers.
