And Now This launches Dutch Mind Masters

The world’s first collaborative painting, created by the power of thought.

Creating an abstract painting, using the power of thought. Five Degrees, a digital core banking platform provider, made this a reality with Dutch Mind Masters: a unique, digital art-making installation, controlled by human mind power. During the FinTech event Money20/20 in Amsterdam, visitors could shoot paint onto a canvas using their brain activity. 

With a team of technical experts, brand building agency And Now This created a machine that transforms mind power into abstract art. Seated in front of the canvas, users are fitted with an EEG-brainwave headset that monitors brain activity. This information is then sent from the EEG headset to the custom-made paintball device, which enabled participants to shoot paintballs at the canvas, creating a collaborative abstract painting.

 

Paul Bakker, co-founder And Now This: "Our client Five Degrees highly values the human approach. We believe this is a unique position within the FinTech industry, so we wanted to keep building the brand on these core values. We explain that technology never builds itself: you will always need human minds for unique, creative solutions. Dutch Mind Masters is a celebration of human creativity, showing what great minds can do."

During the event, held from 3 to 5 June 2019 at the Amsterdam RAI conference centre, over 250 guests participated in creating the Dutch Mind Masterpiece. And there's still a chance to own it: the painting is available to bid on through a silent auction. The proceeds from the winning bid will be donated to Hersenstichting, which invests in pioneering solutions that help prevent, cure or slow down brain disorders.
