Tribes

Connector ‘Tribal Love’ – Thurs Feb 25 @ The Science Gallery, Trinity College

Connector and The Science Gallery are connecting to bring you ‘Tribal Love’. It will be an event themed around Tribal attraction in the digital age. As well as some prominent guest speakers, we will showcase some of the top Tribes from Dublin.

It’s really exciting to be connecting at this great venue. The Science Gallery ‘Love Labs: Science of Desire’ exhibition, runs from the 11th of Feb to the 12th of March 2010, and as part of this Connector ‘Tribal Love’ will look at the science of ‘group chemistry’.

Tribes are communities of connected people with shared interests & ideas. Whether its 5,000 Shamrock Rovers fans turning out to a windswept Tallaght Stadium for an Eircom League game, or 44,000 people joining a facebook group called ‘I want John Joe from the Late Late Toy Show to fix my clock’: its a human condition; to be connected to an idea; to a movement.

It promises to be one of our best events with a great mix of Tribes from the online and offline worlds featuring. Some of our old friends will be back, along with new tribes with passions for the likes of music, film, fashion and sports.

Connector Tribal Love
Connector has a great interest in ‘Tribes’ which are groups of people or communities, connected to one another, connected to an idea.  Tribal groups are attracted to each other with their shared passions for the likes of music, film, fashion, sport & the members are often connected originally via the internet.

As part of the Science Gallery ‘Love Labs: Science of Desire exhibition, Connector Tribal Love will look at the science of group chemistry.

It is our first Connector event in the Science Gallery & we are very excited about connecting at this fantastic venue.  We are inviting down some of Dublin’s top tribes for a Thursday evening tribal love-in!  This will be a free event and more details will be posted asap.

Love Lab: Science of Desire

“Can science predict whom you will fall in love with and why you find someone attractive? And when you do find someone attractive is it     simply a result of a chemical attraction based on your personal genetic make up?

LOVE LAB [11:02:10 – 12:03:10] is the second of Science Gallery’s Lab in the Gallery series invites you to explore the phenomena of love, attraction and desire through a variety of experiments and real publishable research. This is your chance to donate your heart and mind to science; your  involvement will contribute.”  Science Gallery
