Augmented Body, Altered Mind

Augmented Body, Altered Mind is a collaborative, interactive exhibition weaving a brain-computer interface with an audiovisual environment. Created by environmental artist AlanJames Burns, the show celebrates different cognitive abilities used for creative problem-solving. The exhibition explores the potential to collectively reshape the world towards a more diverse and sustainable future.

Delving into the climate challenge and tech-growth narratives, Augmented Body, Altered Mind examines correlations between the natural world, neurology, philosophy, and neurodivergence (which references variations in the human brain and cognition). Immersed in a projected environment and multi-channel soundscape, visitors are invited to co-create the artwork in real time by wearing a brain-sensing headset that detects electric signals generated by different brain waves. By doing so, audiences control evocative visuals reminiscent of environmental, neurological, and biological imagery and patterns.
