Self-distortion

Lin Yingyin (Lynn Black) (CN)

Self-distortion interrogates the mediating effects of technology on identity construction. According to participants’ brainwave patterns (which are a by-product of the level of participants’ meditative state), the glitch image on the monitor will gradually become more or less clear. By using bone conduction technology and transforming the brainwaves of participants into real-time sound waves, this work enables participants to hear/feel their own meditative sounds. This produces a new form of sensory experience for individual brainwave observation.
