Abstract

Steady State is a performative piece that integrates neuroscience and technology to create a feedback loop between the performer’s brain activity and computer-generated stimuli. Using an EEG cap, the performer’s dominant brain frequencies are measured as they interact with strobing video projections. The performer’s gaze and brain activity influence the visuals, creating a continuous loop. The piece blurs the lines between installation and performance, with the performer turning into a transhuman processing unit, revolving around the body, computation, hallucination, and transcendence.

It is a collaboration between:

Alexander Schubert: composer
Zubin Kanga: project manager and lead performer
Serafeim Perdikis: neuro-programming
Alexander Trattler: video design
Felina Levits: costumes
ANT Neuro: brain sensors
