Resonance: Meditative Neural Rhythms as Collective Spatial Experience
SessionPerception and Presence
DescriptionResonance transforms a traditionally solitary meditative practice into a shared spatial experience by externalizing a meditator's neural rhythms as architectural-scale light and motion. Rather than treating neurofeedback as private data, the work situates cognition within an immersive environment that can be collectively sensed and inhabited. Bridging contemplative traditions with computational design, it expands bio-responsive systems beyond subjective interaction toward shared, embodied engagement and collective awareness.
