Neural Bloom is an interactive installation that transforms real-time brain activity into a living digital ecosystem. Using EEG biosensing, participants’ mental states generate dynamic "neural blooms"—evolving forms that grow, decay, and entangle within a shared synthetic landscape.

Expanded Sensing
Rooted in neuroscience, generative art, and ecological systems thinking, the project reframes cognition as a distributed process. Thought is no longer isolated within the brain—it becomes visible, spatial, and participatory.

How It Works
Wearing a biosensing headset, participants engage with a real-time audiovisual system. Shifts in focus, calm, or arousal shape growth speed, color, and structure. Disconnection triggers gentle decay, leaving ephemeral traces behind—memory encoded in digital flora.

Visual Language
Neural Bloom’s aesthetic blends minimalist wireframe terrains with intricate branching geometries. The visuals recall neural networks, plant systems, and computational abstraction—echoing the universality of organic forms across biology and data.

Co-Agency and Interaction
When multiple users engage, their neural blooms hybridize, producing unpredictable emergent forms. The installation becomes a space of co-agency, where humans, machines, and environments continuously influence one another.

Beyond the Brain
Neural Bloom is not a diagnostic tool—it embraces ambiguity. Rather than measuring states, it renders them experientially, inviting reflection on the nature of thought, presence, and shared mental landscapes.

Future Ecologies
This work is a prototype for speculative platforms in art, education, and public space. Future developments envision multispecies sensing, audio-reactive environments, and interconnected “synthetic gardens” spanning geographies.
