NEURONNECTION is an interactive installation that connects the thoughts of the spectators inside a parametric light sculpture that allows people to play and control sensitive light reactions using their own thoughts.
The installation creates an interface with the brain, which immerses the user inside their own thoughts. The creation of the shape and interactivity was inspired on how our thoughts are created inside the mind. Our thoughts come from the activity of neurotransmitters that generates electrical signals (synapses) in neighbouring neurons, which propagate like a wave to thousands of neurons, leading to thought formation.
The user will wear the device Nextmind to interact with the work. interactivity of the installation occurs when people look to Neurotags, which activates movement of ligts.
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.
Keywords : think, brain, neurons, connection, play, mirror, psychoanalises, interface, universe, human.
