Overview

NEURONNECTION is an interactive installation that connects the mind of the spectators inside a mind cave light sculpture that allows people to play and control sensitive light reactions using their own thoughts via neurotags wearing NextMind sensor. The installation creates an interface with the brain, which immerses the user inside their own thoughts. The creation of shape and interactivity was inspired by how our thoughts are created inside the mind. Our thoughts come from the activity of neurotransmitters that generates electrical signals (synapses) in neighboring neurons, which propagate like a wave to thousands of neurons, leading to thought formation. The user wears the device Nextmind to interact with the work and by looking to customized Neurotags, it activates the movement of lights. The main idea o the project is to immerse and mirror humans inside their own thoughts and let them control and play with their own imagination. The project is part of the Art collection BEEP, which is an art collection that collects works of Art & Technoology in Reus, Spain.

Goals

The goal was to create customized software using Neurotags and Nextmind to allow people to immerse and mirror their minds inside a parametric light sculpture where they can ontrol and play with their own imagination.

Also to create a 3D printed structure that works as a media facade where we inserted 200 meters of LEDs that could be indepently controlled using neurotags.

Process

The project was designed and fabricated at Anaisa Franco Studio in Barcelona with the help of a team of professionals. Please, see the list for the credtis;
