About
Augmented Body, Altered Mind is an interactive exhibition weaving a brain-computer interface with an audiovisual environment. Co-crated by the public, the show celebrates different cognitive abilities used for creative problem-solving, and explores the potential to collectively reshape the world towards a more diverse and sustainable future.
Delving into the climate challenge and tech-growth narratives, Augmented Body, Altered Mind examines correlations between the natural world, neurology, philosophy, and neurodivergence (which references variations in the human brain and cognition). Immersed in a projected environment and multi-channel soundscape, visitors are invited to co-create the artwork in real time by wearing a brain-sensing headset that detects electric signals generated by different brain waves. By doing so, audiences control evocative visuals reminiscent of environmental, neurological, and biological imagery and patterns.
The artwork has been co-developed with Dylan Coburn Grey and Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan (writing), Michael Riordan (composition), and collective Ibragim (digital visuals). The project is generously supported by Arts Council England, Culture Ireland and Arts and Disability Ireland.
