The Power You Make Me Feel

The Power You Make Me Feel: Data-Driven Artwork by Steve Zafeiriou (pointclouds)

Description

Inspired by the cataclysmic beauty of the Big Bang and the subsequent evolution of the observable cosmos, this artwork delves into the fundamental truth that underlies all of creation: everything is energy. This piece transcends the confines of conventional communication, embodying the idea that a mere 7% of human interaction unfolds through words, leaving the vast expanse of connection to the unspoken, to the energies that resonate between us without need for articulation.

This work developed by conducting an Electroencephalogram (EEG) to capture the brain’s response to emotional stimuli. This intimate glimpse into the neurological echoes of human emotion served as the foundational element for the artwork. The recorded brain activity, a direct representation of how we process and respond to the world without words, was transformed into a dynamic point cloud system. This system, driven by the raw data of human emotion, materializes on the canvas as a vibrant, ever-shifting constellation of points. Each point, a beacon of individual emotion and thought, coalesces into a larger narrative of universal connection and energy flow.
