Cybersentics Little Library Launch @ Gray Area
That’s right: this whispering, ASMR-coded message is calling you to celebrate the launch of Cybersentics (little) Library, a growing, hands-on collection of books, gadgets, and oddities built by and for our community.
Swing by to browse the shelves, mingle with like-minded community members, enjoy some taste-bud stimulators (a.k.a. drinks and snacks), and help shape what the library becomes.
At the event, you can:
• Browse the collection:
Books, tech, and artifacts are waiting on the shelves for you to pick up, page through, and poke at.
• Learn what the library is for:
Discover the mission behind it and how it fits into Gray Area’s broader work.
• Meet the community:
Connect with other members, contributors, and fellow nerds-in-good-standing.
• Get the scoop on Book Club:
Learn about the recurring series where we actually read and discuss what’s on the shelves.
• Pitch an item:
Got a book, zine, or gadget that belongs here? Tell us why.
• Swap something:
Bring a book or piece of electronics (up to $100 value) to trade with other attendees.

About the Host
I’m a scholar and curator exploring topics of experimental music and biofeedback art. As a scholar, I gave invited lectures at the UCLA Department of Art (Art|Sci Center), UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, and presented at the NIME2024 Colloquium. As a curator, I produced many events —ranging from music performances to science talks — at the University of Illinois, Santa Monica College, and Bergamot Station Art Center that were supported through grants from the Center for Advanced Study (CAS) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Santa Monica Cultural Affairs. In 2024, I founded the Biofeedback Art|Research Network — an international community of artists, researchers, and scholars dedicated to exploring work related to biofeedback. Within about a year of the Network's existence, I organized seven events featuring its members, including symposia, screenings, performances, and workshops at the Lois Lambert Gallery (Los Angeles), Indexical (Santa Cruz), and Gray Area (San Francisco). Currently, I’m a Visiting Researcher at the UCLA Music Industry Program and a Research Fellow at Gray Area.
