Aisen Caro Chacin, a founding board member of the Medicine and Arts Program is featured in the Vibrations Matter podcast, an art and science dialogue series hosted by Victoria Vesna.
In this episode of Vibrations Matter, Victoria Vesna is in dialogue with Aisen Caro Chacin, and artist and engineer whose interdisciplinary work bring a unique perspective to vibrations and and sensory perception.
Aisen Caro Chacin is a regenerating composition of cells that produce a woman, a Venezuelan, a Spaniard, a U.S. American, and an animal whose patterns of migration are not based on seasons, but rather chance, chaos, and opportunity.
She is an artist and is the Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Pathology at the John Sealy School of Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She was Adjunct Faculty at the School of Art at the University of Houston, where she also received her BFA. She is a founding board member of the Medicine and Arts Program at UCLA and holds an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons the New School where she was a teaching fellow. She received her Ph.D. in Human Informatics from the University of Tsukuba, Japan.
Vibrations Matter explores the unseen and unheard dimensions of sound, frequencies, and vibrations through the lens of art and science. Centering on the practice of attuned listening, these dialogues invite us to tune into the intricate web of planetary ecology. Artists and scientists share how vibrations impact our well-being and reflect on how the fusion of art and science can inspire us to listen more closely and envision a broader, interconnected spectrum.
