The project was implemented in 2021 for the GROUNDING festival as a part of ARS Electronica, Linz. The idea for the project emerged while working with neural interfaces that transmit brain signals. The visual similarity between brain activity graphs and landscapes was the starting point for this art project, which resulted in a sound installation. The artists combined data from brainwave scans and shape graphs of natural landscapes, based on photographs of the area, and converted them into sound. The graphs obtained using the neurointerface represent a landscape made up of waves of brain activity. By changing our internal state, we can control these waves and change the sound.

The project is presented in the form of audio and video documentation.

Gratitude and appreciation for the help in preparing the project to the Art&Science program of ITMO University and to the curatorial team of the Grounding project.

Thanks to Stanislav Glazov, Yuri Didevich, and Boris Shershenkov for consulting on the project.

Special thanks to Kseniya Poleshchuk for the photos.
