A real-time system for entangled perception and spatial co-authorship
A two-room, multi-user neuro-responsive
audiovisual installation/performance that transforms human
perception into a spatial medium. It stages a live experiment in collective
cognition and real-time collective authorship, where participants’ brain
activity becomes both input and output, forming a loop of cognitive
entanglement between brains, machines, and environments.
In Room 1, five participants are wired into a feedback system using EEG
devices. Two players engage in brain-controlled games (g.tec Unicorn),
generating audiovisual noise. Two others, wearing Muse headsets,
respond to those outputs, modulating the visual outcome with their
neural activity. A fifth participant, wearing Enophone audio-feedback
headphones, moves around the space and listens to the entire cognitive
exchange as immersive sound affected by their own brain signals.
Every
participant is both a producer and a spectator, shaping the system while
being shaped by it.
Data from this entangled loop is streamed via a local router into Room 2,
where a shared AI generated 3D point cloud is continuously reshaped by
the real-time neural signals. Visitors in Room 2 wear DIY EEG headsets
(NPG), which do not affect the environment but generate a unique
perceptual hashcode documenting that subjective experience in the
system. This ‘Sijil” is a list of hashcodes, where visitors' brain data
becomes an ownership reference number, but only of their own data,
their experience.
This project explores a fundamental shift: from architecture as form to
architecture as interface. From design as intent, to design as protocol.
From authorship as object, to authorship as neural trace.
We Are the Interface proposes a new kind of spatial IP, one grounded
not in ownership of form, but in co-authorship of experience.
