> > experience of one?s internal self. Namely, the work investigates how
> > perceptual deprivation can affect alterity, or otherness, that is the
> aware

> > The work uses ad hoc biophysical methods and wearable bioacoustic
> > technology to stimulate a continuous sensorial feedback within the
> > visitor?s own body. In a small, blacked out room a visitor sits alone
> > facing a mirror, and wired to on-body sensors. The low frequency sound
> > pulses of heart, muscular and vein tissues produced by the visitor?s body
> > are captured, augmented, and fed back to the subject?s sensory system as
> > new auditive, visual, and physical stimuli. Intense surround sound,
> > pulsating lights, and mechanical vibrations are diffused through the
> > subject's ears, eyes, bones, and skull... The combined skeletal
> resonance,
> > sound stimuli, and light pulse produce a constant and intense stimulation
