What happens when it is not our words, but our brainwaves that decide who we feel connected to? In this interactive installation titled Flira, participants answer personal questions solely in their minds, while an EEG system records their neural activity. An algorithm determines the one perfect match. Flira plays with the human desire for connection and invites critical reflection on the future of desire, control, and the measurability of our innermost selves.
