Stochastic Resonance

Threshold of Perception

Stochastic Resonance is used to reveal weak signals by adding random data, such as noise. In neuroscience, this raises questions: What if human brains only perceive consciously when a certain level of noise is present? And is noise the key to unlocking our subconscious? This installation explores those ideas by projecting imagery resembling fragmented memories onto mist. Mist, usually seen as something that blocks our vision, just like noise, becomes the very medium that makes perception possible.
