SIRO
Siro is an interactive media art installation that renders the participant’s brain-activity data into three-dimensional abstract visual and atmospherically surrounding audio in real-time shown from a large mysterious monolith and heard from inside a vast darkened space. It is a partially guided tour for a single participant that aims to create an intimate, immersive, and dream-like experience.
How a person may feel and react to an external mirror image of his/her mind remains a question. I see it not only as a mission for neuroscientists but can also be approached from an artistic point of view. I want to explore with Siro the usually invisible connections between the conceptual inner world and the physical outer world while only using the brain-activity data as a metaphor to “the mind” and a controllable tool for interaction. Just like a well-written science-fiction that doesn’t represent the scientific facts but makes the readers imagine. With Siro, I want to create for the participant an artistic journey with a scientific background.
