Random Eye Movement
Audiovisual Installation
The aim of this installation was to visualize the hidden processes of memory and imagination. Both these processes are usually invisible, however, the movement of the eyes is a very significant indicator for brain activity. For example, the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is a sleep phase in which most dreams occur. So evidently, there is a link between eye movement and brain activity. Therefor, the human eye was chosen as the motive of this work.
Both the starting time of the video clips as well as the sounds are generated randomly. That’s why the installation is in a state of constant flux, much like the human perceptive system.
