This project began as a means to manifest intangible things as physical objects.
I was interested in taking abstract concepts like dreams, thoughts, and memories and making them into physical sculptures.
A BCI (Brain Computer Interface) was used to record the electrical activity of people's brainwaves while they talked about their dreams. These brain readings were used to generate virtual shapes. These virtual shapes were then converted into 3-D mesh objects that were 3-D printed as physical sculptures.
These sculptures could be seen as artifacts of the unconscious.
