1. The idea – light & waveforms creating shadows on the seabed -

replicated by pixellated image on screen

Page 3: B zversion navagio12

2. The Concept – “Bio-feedback” - Participant as part of installation,

learning to 'master' equipment

Page 4: B zversion navagio12

3. Prototypes help concept to develop, from arm-waving by participant to “haptic” approaches

Page 5: B zversion navagio12

5. A kinetic “tilt” mechanism is devised, based on a ball-joint, with an Accelerometer being

“controlled by the 'Subject'

Page 6: B zversion navagio12

6. The 'subject' learns to control the component in the exhibit – perception & cognition become the key concepts

Page 7: B zversion navagio12

7. As the 'subject' becomes immersed in the installation as part of the process, there is a blurring of 'subject' & 'object'

Page 8: B zversion navagio12

8. The accelerometer (seen here) is integral to the perceived movements of the participant or 'navigator'

Page 9: B zversion navagio12

9. The ball-joint moves when the navigator tilts it....

Page 10: B zversion navagio12

10. The tilt-motion drives 4 Vibration Motors attached to a small water-pool

Page 11: B zversion navagio12

11. The motors create waveforms in the liquid, observed by the navigator.

Perception (Cognition) is now 'affected.'

Page 12: B zversion navagio12

12. Navigator observes reactive images via a webcam.Images are projected on a large screen in front.

Page 13: B zversion navagio12

13. Here there is an attempt to create a 'cognitive feedback loop'

where the observer now becomes “as if observed”

Page 14: B zversion navagio12

14. Video feed via Processing with wave-form FX , demonstrating the navigator's own 'cognitive responses' where he 'learns' to control the image and thus becomes

part of the installation itself

15. Potential applications

Relaxation & Therapeutic environments

Entertainment & Play

Research applications for cognitive experiments
