The project is an interactive multimedia art installation as well as an educational event. Visitors can place brain sensors on their foreheads and then use VR glasses to witness a three-dimensional video that tells the story of the journey of the sphinx who, as the keeper of knowledge, explores the core of its being through a 3D fight into the realm of its dreams. At the same time, the front sensor reads the brain wave frequency signals, which are then translated into a graphic image with precisely defined parameters via the (BCI) Brainwave Computer Interface, a specially adapted computer software. These video brain maps, which will also be available for purchase after the VR experience, reflect the viewers various states of meditation, concentration and movement and various cognitive, psychophysical and emotional states.
The project won the competition held by the Center for Creativity of the Ministry of Culture RS with funds from the European Regional Development Fund; produced by Rosa Production in collaboration with the Herman Potočnik Noordung Center of Space Technologies.
