Psychic Synth, 2014
Interactive installation; electronics, computer, EEG headset
This complex installation is powered by individual visitors’ brainwaves - measured with an EEG headset - stirring this multi-sensory environment to life. The resulting experience of sound, vision and lurid haze is designed to explore meditative states in the viewer, in a feedback loop that builds to create an ever more heightened experience. - Jeff Khan, Artistic Director, Performance Space
Video documentation by Kate Blackmore.
Psychic Synth was commissioned by Performance Space and presented in partnership with carriageworks for Score, 1 August - 7 September, 2014.
Catalogue for Psychic Synth can be accessed here in pdf form, including essays by the curator, Bec Dean and by the artist.
