The living threshold – Blindphones / Andrea Mancianti (IT)
Blindphones is an experimental prototype for an alternative low-tech head-mounted display which enhances listening by impairing sight. Inspired by the structures of plants, and employing sustainable, bio-based materials such as bacterial cellulose, it immerses the user in a world of music and choreographed eerie lights. Drawing from the psychedelic tradition of early VR art in this sonic piece, like in a sensory deprivation tank, the body floats weightlessly in a dark, quiet environment, and the mind is free to shift from a meditative state to a hallucinatory one.
