Mind Mirror is an interactive display of colour and shape reminiscent of abstract paintings, powered by the brain. Utilizing an EEG headset to monitor and broadcast real-time cognitive data, the work projects the embodied experience of its participants out into the world. It invites calm, curiosity, and reflection.
My name is Eden Schwinghamer, and I am a Toronto-based artist born and raised on the east coast of Canada. Working within and beyond the lens, my work pulls apart the contents of a photograph by incorporating data, science, and technology into image-based practices. Ranging from materials-based analog processes to fully digital abstraction, my work aims to question the nature of photographic truth and interrogate the formal and social constructions that define an image.
