SoMA Conversations: Magic for Non-Humans?

122 Binney Street, Cambridge MA

Description

We are excited to partner with Cambridge Science Festival for the first program in our 2021 "Conversations on Science, Magic, & Society" virtual series. Can non-human animals experience magic? Can non-human animals perform magic? Can machines perform magic? If so, do we experience it differently than magic performed by humans? A panel of experts, moderated by Dr. Gustav Kuhn and Dr. Tony Barnhart, will discuss these issues and take questions from a virtual audience. Panelists for this session will include: - Nicky Clayton & Clive Wilkins (University of Cambridge) - Wally Smith (University of Melbourne) - Jose Ahonen, mentalist Register at https://forms.gle/EtsNNqHCwj1fPsXM6 to receive a link as the date approaches.
