The system breaks down the boundaries between virtual consciousness states and the physical worldpeople can feel themselves through material changes and control them at the same time. It combines neuroscience with textile design to allow the audience to experience self-communication.

Brainwave data from the audience as input

Visualises human consciousness through live textile structures constructed of tubing and coloured liquid which is programmed through the use of creative technology.

People can control the colour (liquid) and pattern (speed) of the textiles by thinking, meditating and through other different states of consciousness.

Here are the steps for the audience to participate in this interactive system：

Step1： The user wears an EEG monitoring headband to extract the following four EEG data: Attention, Beta Delta and Theta

Step2： The data is transferred to the computer via Bluetooth, the screen shows the real-time data changes in the four-wave data, and the data are passed into the code as inputs.

Step3： There are four different colorud liquids in tubes to represent the four brain waves, when the monitored data exceeds the average value the Arduino will control the speed of the corresponding colored pumps.
