Every piece, photographed.

The work, piece by piece.

Reproduced as they were archived. The caption names the piece, and the link under it goes to that piece’s own published post or film — not to a general feed. One image is archive only: it was never published anywhere, so we say so rather than send you to something else.

The earliest work

Where it came from.

Before MuArts had a catalogue it had festivals: Music Tech Fest, CTM Berlin, and the research performances made with Neurobios and the university. These are the pieces the rest grew out of. They predate our Instagram, so the public record is elsewhere — ZKM Karlsruhe lists MuArts on the Synchronica team at #MTFLabs, 2018, and UT Austin Portugal reports the MusicBricks award at Music Tech Fest Scandinavia, 2015, for a two-performer piece driven by gesture sensors and an EEG headset.

Our own events

TRANS-LATE and UNVEIL.

Two formats we programme ourselves rather than supply. TRANS-LATE is the festival we built at Village Underground in Lisbon on 28 September 2019: talks, an immersive sound journey, interactive yoga, a tasting and a neurofeedback room, with the performers wearing sensors and their readings running on the wall behind them. UNVEIL is the club night we make with Vallechi and Artur Caleres — thermal cameras on the room, the Voxel Cube turning the DJ sets into a live heat map, and the floor’s own movement projected across the club wall. Its first edition, The Heat, ran in Beato, Lisbon, on 22 February 2025 and sold out both ticket releases.

20 entries

In the press.

Where the work has been written about, hosted or catalogued by someone other than us. Opened and checked in October 2026. The pieces made before 2018 predate our Instagram, so for those this is the whole public record.

A meditative journey with Dan Ghenacia’s Alpha Wave Experience

“We met Francisco Teixeira, who is a neuroscientist in Lisbon” — the artist on how the work, and the Mind Art concept that came out of it, were made.
