Synopsis

Electromagnetic waves from space in the frequency 10.95 – 11.7 GHz are captured with a radio receiver and computer interface, and translated into signals that the performer senses through electrodes attached to her body. The electrodes attached to the performer's head, meanwhile, create a direct link between the brain and another computer interface which maps the brainwaves during her sensory reactions in real time. The interface translates the brainwaves into a computer which generates the graphic environment in video projections. The body's sensory reactions are captured by a third interface, which broadcasts the information on the 5.8 GHz frequency, which is allocated to scientifc research.

 

The project is conceived as a poetic representation of a proces which explores the interdependence of frequential properties of the human body with the frequencies emitted by our immediate environment.
