"Nigredo is a private 8 minutes artwork to be experienced by one visitor at a time. Drawing from studies in analytical psychology, human sensory systems, and biotechnologies, the piece offers an intimate and uncanny experience of one?s internal self. Namely, the work investigates how perceptual deprivation can affect alterity, or otherness, that is the
aware
distinction between self and not-self.
The work uses ad hoc biophysical methods and wearable bioacoustic technology to stimulate a continuous sensorial feedback within the visitor?s own body. In a small, blacked out room a visitor sits alone facing a mirror, and wired to on-body sensors. The low frequency sound pulses of heart, muscular and vein tissues produced by the visitor?s body are captured, augmented, and fed back to the subject?s sensory system as new auditive, visual, and physical stimuli. Intense surround sound, pulsating lights, and mechanical vibrations are diffused through the subject's ears, eyes, bones, and skull... The combined skeletal
resonance,
sound stimuli, and light pulse produce a constant and intense stimulation field that alters the movement of the internal organs, and the behaviour
of
the optical nerves..."
feedback are most welcome!
