PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Hypnomachia is a performative installation where two sleeping subjects engage in a subliminal conflict,

mutually influencing each other’s brain activity.

 

As both sleepers unconsciously attempt to manipulate the other’s neural rhythms

in a form of biological propaganda, a real-time sonification grants the audience access to this hidden, silent confrontation.

PROTOCOLS

Hypnomachia implements a recursive BCI protocol to stage a conflict between two sleeping participants.

The system employs a cross-connected architecture where EEG input signals are analyzed and converted

into tDCS output stimuli in real-time.

 

This generates a continuous biological feedback loop, resulting in mutual brainwave entrainment.

 

Project developed with dr. Alessio Chierico under the collective name “Qualia Industries”.
