In HORIZON‾S, cortical activity is converted into a visual narrative that reflects the mental journey inside the mind. Through brain analysis methods, the electrophysiological output while observing portraits is transformed and brought to life on a large screen.

Erika Mondria
PhD researcher Erika Mondria investigates the use of biometric technology on humans and creates transformational narratives of the body’s intangible agency. She develops neuro-interaction methods based on mental research, neuroscience, art and cultural studies. Her focus is always guided by the question: ”What does it mean to BE a body?” The interactive installation ARTéFACT shows how far bioelectrical signals can reach. In installations such as DER WENDEPUNKT, the capacity of technologies to unravel the human mind is explored from new perspectives. Human brain activity becomes tangible and tactile in her participatory art scenarios through digital body augmentation, telekinesis or cognitive neuroimaging. This invites the audience to reflect on the authorship, scope and capacity of human mental activity. It poses questions such as: “Is your mental activity private? Can you adjust and influence the range of your own bodily oscillations?”.
