BrainTV / rcv: 10.95 - 11.7 GHz, Snd: 5.8 GHz

An installation crossed with a performance with EEG waves: its reception from the space, translation into sound, electric stimulation on performers body/skin, reading for brainwaves, transformation to audio/visual material, and finaly sending this back into space - to the same point sending this back into space - to the same point of initial reception.

Through the paradigm of independence of mind from the physical body, I was interested in the space-time transformation of the perception of space: body, mind and emotions. With the spatial - temporal transformation we change the usual perception and through the exploration of the limitations of the body and the mind, we redefine establishing connections with reality. This opens the spatio-temporal membrane - the transition between the real / sensory and imaginary / immaterial worlds of emotions. Through the mapping of emotions, a parallel identity is established in the sensorical experience, at the same time an audio-visual representation of this virtual experience occurs. This shows the transfer of emotional experience into a tactile experience in real time, which manifests the transformation of the body and mind from the receiver of the senses into the transmitter of feelings.

During the performance, electromagnetic waves have been transmitted from the frequency spectrum 10.95 - 11.7 GHz in space through a radio receiver into a signal of electric voltage of 5V, which the performer sensed through electrodes attached to her body. The performer wore special electrodes on her head that, through the BCI (Brain Computer Interface) application, established a direct connection between the brain and another computer interface, which in parallel maped the performer's brain waves at the moment of a sensory response. This interface translated waves of brain activity into a format understandable to the computer through which the graphical environment that visitors saw in the video projection was established. At the same time, the frequency of the brainwave of a performer was amplified to the height of a frequency that was audible and (at the same time) sensible to visitors. The complete record of the sensory response of the performer via the BCI interface was forwarded to the PureData patch interface, which sent the information back to the transmitter via the transmitter to space frequency. The performance was designed to represent the process in real time.
