is an Audio/Visual performance that uses EEG readings of my brain to work towards creating a simulation of the “creation of the universe”. The concept was developed based on Sufi poet and philosopher Ibn Arabi’s philosophy of Nondelimited Imagination or “The Divine Imagination”, and ancient Egyptian alchemist Zosimos’ “The visions of Zosimos”.
The concept of ∆3 is based on a research project that studies the digital medium as a ‘Barzakh- the intermediate realm or “isthmus”. It is between the World of Corporeal Bodies and the World of Spirits’. The project tries to interpret and visualize the philosophies of “Divine Imagination” by Ibn Arabi through an alchemical process inspired by Zosimos and the way he interpreted his vision
The production uses Neurosky brain scanner, Pure Data, Quartz Composer, OSCulator and Ableton Live. Studing now to add VCV Rack to the sound setup.
The project uses a platform that generates and manipulates a set of visual elements and sounds that react in real-time to the changing EEG brainwave data readings. The visuals starts with one singular particle, that morphs/grows into a more sophisticated ecosystem as the performance goes on. The ecosystem created parallels similar ecosystems such as constellations, the circulatory system and the nervous system, etc.
First Draft of the A/V composition recorded using live EEG readings (unmastered sound). This draft was choosen by VIRTUALLYREALITY and showen in 'RNCM - Royal Northern College of Music' in 2017.
