Sketches of Albania

I went on a short group trip to Albania with artists from Hastings and London for 5 days and during the show on the third night I was projecting outside with my own equipment. I mixed video clip footage from inside the dictator’s nuclear bunker I recorded (from Tirana’s Bunk Art1) with vintage portraits I bought locally in the mountain village of Kruje. Texts quoted are from ‘The Lion and The Unicorn’ by George Orwell written in 1941, which I took with and found very contrapoint and on-point in Albania.

Although the original had no sound at night it was inperceivably slowly melting onto the external walls of the place we stayed at a group with @thenave in March 2024. The experience deepened my connection to faces, expressions from the past, localism and original vintage aesthetics.

Here is a playlist of my ‘EEG Art’ featuring 52 videos made since 2007 on Youtube

Here is a playlist of 13 light & sound experiences combining EEG in Art installations on YouTube made since 2011

Pioneer – Augmented reality artwork based on the ‘Daddy long legs‘ sea-faring train from Brighton, designed by engineer Magnus Volk in 1896. Since launching the artwork that is triggered on smartphones I have been exploring how to get inside the 3D model on a computer using a Kinect DK camera and GenieMo software ( also used in Dreamonline & ‘Into the Rose Garden’ )

DreamOnline 21 – The RSC, rapid response with EEG realtime and Dream footage

Inhabit the garden.
Shall we follow?”

SleepCycles
EEG recorded with ‘IBVA Brainmachine’ and video mapped and projected onto an oversized Old Testament Bible opened at ‘Revelations’ – the final stage of installation ‘SleepCycles’ with generative soundscape made using a Sherman filter bank and Ableton, modulated and triggered by the brainwave data (looped)

Dual Dreamachines, peripheral entrainment experiment setup

The Cyberdelics Incubator, QRU, North Amstersdam
All the sounds are triggered by the brainwaves of the participant, in response to the flickering light, peripheral entrainment attempted of Alpha and Theta waves.

Hypnagogiasation is like a Lucid Dream. I setup an installation with Kasina wearable Light/Sound machine, Brainwave monitoring + sonification with interactive IBVA Brainmachine during a Dual Dreamachines experience in the floating chair with and a PandoraStar Lucid Strobe light. This all packed into 2 suitcases for the flight to Holland.

This was for The Psychedelics society of The Netherlands

Kibla in Slovenia – White cube install with 1970’s electric dentist chair from Bavaria

The Phrontesterion (Dreamachine and percipient’s EEG sonified ) was installed in The Drill Hall upstairs, where we were visited by the public who had booked an appointment for a vision, a dream and a journey. Using the IBVA software and hardware the brainwaves were visualised and later transcribed by Luciana to the subject whilst they were professionally and discretely interviewed by the assistant Ms Rose.
