Home of the Brain
In the installation "Home of the Brain" by Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss, the participant is equipped with an eyephone to explore the imaginary world. Besides visual and acoustic impressions the viewer is captured by the 3- dimensional space.
With the "eyephone" you find yourself in the phenomenon of a timeless space. There is no aging in this space. The visitor in the Virtual Reality-scenery can choose himself in which direction and in what kind of perspective he wants to view the virtual rooms. He is the actor in a simultaneously timeless and accelerated space. The viewer stands "in" – no longer merely "in front of" the picture. One could say: I am in the picture – I am part of it. You see yourself as though you were looking in a magic mirror. You get the feeling: I watch myself - standing beside or outside myself. At the same time you realize: I am in the picture - therefore I am.
