Science. Liturgy. Brain Waves. & Environmental Projection! What's the science behind the environments we design for worship? On the 10th Episode of the ALT podcast, I talk with one of the smartest people I know: Mike McHargue – who also goes by the nickname, “Science Mike.” Rock concerts. Cathedrals. Forests. Spas. Office cubicles. And creative co-work spaces. What is happening neurologically & physiologically as we step into various styles of visual environments. As someone who creates environments for both worship & entertainment, this is the type of question that spins around in my head quite frequently… but it’s a question that I don’t have a good answer for. “Science Mike” graciously listened to my non-linear questions & philosophical musings… & then he responded with intelligent thoughts & scientific answers that absolutely blew my mind. Buckle up… this one’s sure to fire off every single synapse in your prefrontal cortex! _________________________ SHOW NOTES SALT: creative arts conference – October 21-23 – Nashville, TN – http://SALTnashville.com SALT pre-conference + evening gathering @ my members-only coffee shop (you have to register for the pre-con to attend the evening event) http://SALTnashville.com/preconf/ Science Mike on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikemchargue & Instagram: https://instagram.com/mikemchargue/ Mike’s story of being a Christian turned Atheist turned Jesus follower: • “Lost & Found” from The Liturgists Podcast (Part One: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-6-lost-and-found-part-1/id903433534?i=320095389&mt=2) + (Part Two: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-7-lost-and-found-part-2/id903433534?i=321119450&mt=2) • Mike’s Interview with Pete Holmes on “You Made It Weird” (explicit version)– http://nerdist.com/you-made-it-weird-201-science-mike-mchargue/ http://MikeMcHargue.com http://AskScienceMike.com http://TheLiturgists.com For additional show notes & thoughts, go to: http://illuminate.us/alt-ep10-science-mike/
