LIFE INKlusive

What happens in our minds and bodies when we are creative? This is the question at the heart of the LIFE INKlusive project.
To find out, people wear sensors on their bodies—for example while painting or making music. The sensors measure what is happening inside the body: where the eyes are looking, how the muscles move, whether the skin is sweating, or how active the brain is.
This data is then converted into colors and patterns and displayed on the screen. The result: unique images that show that creativity has no barriers.
LIFE INKlusive is a joint project by studios for people with disabilities, University of Arts Linz, the Ars Electronica Center, and the Ars Electronica Futurelab.
The exhibition presents the outcomes of LIFE INKlusive—including stunning visual worlds generated from body data, as well as the original artworks created by the participating artists. A powerful reminder of how diverse and limitless creativity can be.
