Vibrant Self explores the inseparable relationship between the fundamental structure of the natural world, the human being, and human artifacts. An essential “reality”—driven by vibration and interconnectedness—manifests through the human body as mood, action, meaning, agenda, and ideology. These complex expressions emerge from the constant dialogue between the body’s natural essence and the individual’s environment, sociocultural context, and personal construct.
Interacting visitors listen to a musical composition conceived as an Audible Score, comprising natural, urban, media, and music archive recordings. This Audible Score is designed to induce various reactions in the visitor-performer, which are captured by a Brain-Computer Interface. The BCI data is transformed into soundwaves that unveil, audibly and visually, the brainwaves and muscular responses using a laser system. The resulting installation is presented as an involuntary performance for non-interacting visitors.
