The author of “The Fault in Our Stars” is not the Zodiac Killer. This should be fairly obvious, given that the Zodiac Killer operated in the 1960s and ’70s — years before the 37-year-old author, John Green, was even born. The mathematics of the thing did not, however, dissuade tongue-in-cheek Tumblr-users from pointing out the (very approximate) resemblance between Green and a sketch artist’s portrayal of the serial murderer. From there, the meme made its way to Twitter and Wikipedia, where Green’s page briefly described him as “a serial killer who operated in Northern California.” The record has since been corrected, and moderators have locked down Green’s biography.

Eunoia II

Tech art performance piece by Lisa Park creates sounds and visuals from brainwaves using an EEG headset and 48 arranged speakers each with plates of water - video embedded below:

"Eunoia II" is an iteration "Eunoia", which was my first performance using a commercial EEG (brainwave sensor) headset to obtain real-time feedback of my brainwaves and emotional reactions.

"Eunoia II" uses the emotional values (frustration, excitement, engagement, meditation) picked up by the Emotiv EEG headset, which then gets translated into sound waves that create vibrations in the pools of water placed atop speakers. Throughout the performance, the intensity of my feelings at the same time are mirrored in the intensity of the sound in terms of volume, speed, and the panning of the sound output.

"Eunoia II" is comprised of 48 speakers with metal plates in various sizes. The number 48 symbolizes philosopher Baruch Spinoza's definition of 48 different emotions from the book “Ethica”.
