CREATIVITY PROCESS

OPTOFONICA CAPSULE

The Optofonica Capsule is a futuristic design/architectural object, featuring a mechanized structure whose parts form an autonomous immersive audiovisual environment.

The shell-like shape of the capsule envelopes the body of the visitor to optimize the experience of Surround and Tactile Sound.

Low frequencies are fed through a specially constructed floor, directly into the bone system of the human body, thereby converting the sound into hyper-perceivable vibration.

The five panels of the Capsule's helmet are designed with specific material and transducers so to vibrate and reproduce the surround sound field without any use of traditional speakers.

A flat screen is positioned to cover most of the visual field of the spectator to engage sight at a short distance and panoramic vision.

Immersion within the Capsule adds a new sensorial dimension to the fruition of audiovisual art and expands the possibilities of creation by the artists.

CROSSWIRE EXHIBITION

optofonica

The main goal of this exhibition was to investigate the relationship between sound, space and perception, with a focus on artworks with architectural, sculptural and sensorial elements.

The ‘live acts’ series was conceived to be performed on the actual installations, using them as specific multichannel sound systems.

How can we define physiological synchrony?

How long does synchrony have to last to consider it a “locking event”?

How can we distinguish between natural and induced synchrony? all physiological signals are cyclical so they will synch-up naturally

Kuramoto model as a possible bridge between the physiology and the stage system.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) is a treatment that applies a small, pulsed electric current across a patient's head. Some researchers and doctors claim that CES has beneficial effects in conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress. However, its effectiveness is still being studied and is thus an experimental treatment. It is also supposed to activate endorphin stimulation.

RODIN STARSHIP COIL

Resonant inductive coupling or electrodynamic induction is the near field wireless transmission of electrical energy between two coils that are tuned to resonate at the same frequency. The equipment to do this is sometimes called a resonant or resonance transformer. While many transformers employ resonance, this type has a high Q and is often air cored to avoid 'iron' losses. The two coils may exist as a single piece of equipment or comprise two separate pieces of equipment.
