The Power You Make Me Feel

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

Description

Inspired by the Big Bang and the evolution of the observable cosmos, this artwork explores the foundational principle underlying all of existence: the concept that everything is energy. It transcends conventional modes of communication, embodying the notion that only 7% of human interaction occurs through words, while the vast majority relies on unspoken connections and the resonance of energy exchanged between individuals.

The creation of this piece involved utilizing an Electroencephalogram (EEG) to capture the brain’s responses to emotional stimuli. This intimate examination of the neurological reflections of human emotion served as the cornerstone of the artwork.

The recorded brain activity, representing the subconscious processing of emotions and external stimuli, was translated into a dynamic point cloud system. This system, driven by the raw data of human emotion, manifests on the canvas as a continuously evolving constellation of points. Each point symbolizes an individual emotion or thought, converging to form a larger narrative of universal interconnectedness and the perpetual flow of energy.
