Davide Grassi
"Brainloop", 2007
The work by Slovenian artist Davide Grassi consists of an interactive platform that uses a BCI computer system that can only be operated by imagining specific motor commands. In the performance “Brainloop”, the subject, Markus Rapp, is able to explore urban areas and rural landscapes viewed in Google Earth. He selects the location, camera, angles and positions and records the images in sequences in a virtual world. In the second part of the performance, he returns to the footage and uses Brainloop to compose a soundtrack, selecting and manipulating audio recordings in real time, which sound designer Brane Zorman places in physical space. The virtual environment allows the audience to perceive the events in 3D. The work is the result of a collaboration between Slovenian artists and Austrian scientists.
