Explore the thinking of the environment of the individuals by grabbing the discourse on Under the Sky on the Internet, and using the installation of the brain wave interactions. Terry Eagleton holds the opinion that “there is no neutral ground for the discourse at first, but rather it starts with something political and ideological“, every word from us is the identification to our own identity and experience. When you are unconcerned, the word could only be a grain of sand in the boundless universe. But when you start to think, the grain of sand would also become something meaningful, and the process for it to shift its role is exactly a process to identify ourselves. The sentence “A Single Event Can Have Infinitely Many Interpretations” comes from Jenny Holzer’s work.
Interaction principle
Brainwave electroencephalogram meter viewers real-time data to detect, by setting the processing interactive programs, text and images in real-time interaction when the instrument can not detect brainwave data, the text is like the universe floating dust, can not read; but the audience and try to bring the brainwave instrument focus, these words began to change with a readability, and with the focus of the audience's rotation fluctuation of stronger or weaker, until the viewer when the focus reaches a preset level, these words will form a sentence readable text, but the semantics of these texts will be more or less leave traces in the brain of the audience, because each viewer's values and life different experiences and produce a unique Interpreting the haze, which affects the daily life of the fine.
