Not Impossible_Brainwriter

It was an absolute pleasure to team up with the incredible Not Impossible foundation to create the Brainwriter Installation at the Barbican Centre - A gifted group of people dedicated to disrupting the status quo and truly 'helping through making' by providing open source technological solutions to the masses. The Brainwriter, an extension of Not Impossible’s acclaimed Eyewriter Project for graffiti artist TemptOne, launched at the Barbican “Digital Revolution” exhibition in London last week, combining brainwave sensors (EEG) and eye-tracking technology to enable the paralyzed to create and communicate.

The sprayed mural, conceived In honor of TemptOne with a touch of hacker aesthetic is presented in three sections: A project intro panel with Tempt's portrait turning the idea of 'drips' on its head. A physical showcase exploring the evolution of the Eyewriter to Brainwriter technology (Blink to Think), and finally the 'Robots in the sky' interactive experience allowing a standing and wheelchair user to jointly play a specially commisioned game using just their eyes and brainwaves via a stethoscope EEG connector placed behind the ear.
