Lucid Dream

AV EEG Performance

is a serie of Interactive AV installations/Performances started in 2018, that use an EEG sensor as input and that seek to analyze what happens when the brain enters a meditative and creative state.
The experience shows through video and sound this process of transformation; the brain waves of the performer are the values that determine and generate video and sound in real time.

The research territory

that I seek to develop in LUCID DREAM is the junction of Art with Science, Technology, Biology, Neuroscience, Physical computing and Cognitive Psychology; dreams, imagination, creativity and empathy are the key concepts.

The intention

is to open the work of art to the most ancestral side of the artistic experience, involving our deepest perception coming from listening to the body, and create an engaging environment to convey the spectator in an emotional and empathic interior dimension towards the inner and exterior worlds.

The performance will reveal the invisible to the eye,

such as emotions, thoughts, and internal or external inputs that may arise. As in a cycle, visuals and sounds are born from the biological signals of the performer and come back into the software as synesthetic stimuli, in an infinite dialogue of biological, digital and artificial interaction, internal and external environment.

Can a machine feel your emotions, give you stimuli to let you discover your inner-self?

“I have always dreamed
my visions to materialize instantly in moving images, as if I could express myself visually without the filter of my hand, as if I could draw with the power of my mind and emotions alone.”
