Pigeonholing - Dirichlet's Theorem | 2019

 

In front of a large one-way mirror, participants are guided by all kinds of viewing questions in spying on passers-by. The questions gradually become more confrontational and thus reveal the unconscious prejudices. An EEG brain sensor records their brain waves in the meantime. This data is then translated into an ever-fluctuating mosaic of light pulses.

 

Individual thoughts thus become part of a colorful installation of shared ideas. By removing the identity and only showing the thoughts in the form of pulsating light, Pigeonholing makes pigeonholing a whole again.

Pigeonholing was made on behalf of Over 't IJ festival in Amsterdam
