N2 - Performers: Zubin Kanga: performer (brain sensor, body sensors, motion sensor, voice, movement)Ludmilla Mercier: assistant performer (voice, movement)Oscar Corpo: assistant performer (voice, movement)Giovanni Dinello: live electronics, video and lighting Steady State by Alexander SchubertSteady 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.Programme Note by Alexander SchubertSteady State was commissioned by Zubin Kanga as part of Cyborg Soloists, supported by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship and Royal Holloway, University of London.
