What your eyes hide from you - journey into the unseen with Harvard scientist

This is an immersive and fun science show featuring live brainwave demos light “illusions” expanding your reality, and the viral 2015 “colour-changing” black and blue dress. "Can you see me?" This may sound like the first line of every single Zoom call - but this is the first line of this show, delivered while standing on stage! By the end of the show, Vivien Puppa Kocsis hopes to convince you that you can not really see her on stage - through live brainwave demos, light “illusions” expanding your reality, and the viral 2015 “colour-changing” black and blue dress. Or was it white and gold? Us, little humans, can barely see reality — less than 1% of the light — and even that tiny sliver is largely distorted by our attention, hallucinated by our brains, and edited by our memory. “Can You See Me?” makes that invisible reality visible, live on stage.

Key takeaways:

• We can barely see reality: less than 1% of the light spectrum.
• We all experience reality slightly differently.
• Experiencing reality differently can explain some of our global misunderstandings.
