I'm going to present two things at the beginning of this session to open the discussion. The first thing is a presentation that summarizes the key concepts of my master's thesis "The Concept of Universal Language(2020)". In this thesis, I did interdisciplinary research across realms such as philosophy, mythology, neuroscience, and computer science to propose a hypothetical universal language powered by the modern BCI technology that in the end resembles filmmaking. The second part of my presentation will be a live demonstration of my interactive installation "Siro (2020)" in collaboration with programmer and artist Conor Byron. "Siro" is a digital mirror of the participant's brain-activities (EEG). The participant can interact with the live image and sound by putting on an EEG headset and control her own thoughts.
The takeaways that I will have from this session will directly influence the creation of a sci-fi animation series based on my thesis that I'm developing with a writers' room.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:I have experience presenting "Siro" to 30 participants as well as 3 participants, online.
What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:The goal of this session is to inspire its audience with the universal language narrative it proposes and further bring out questions and discussions around such hypothetical language.
