Conversing with a Computer - The Body Language of the Box

摘要

This small performance looks at novel interactive ways for better understanding the attentive processes and there affects on things like perception. This is done via the user exploring an audio-visual environment that reacts to their attention in different ways. The users gaze and brainwaves (via EEG) are dynamically mapped to different visual and sonic objects based on the ways in which they pay attention. This allows them to setup and explore different feedback loops, which begin to resonate with each other allowing the users attentive patterns to be represented as a unique audio-visual structure.
