CEREBRAL HUT from Guvenc Ozel on Vimeo.
Created by Guvenc Ozel (ozeloffice.com) Cerebral Hut is a kinetic installation that works with an interface that measures brain frequencies and turns them into a reactive environment. It was initially on view in the Fall of 2012 at Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, as part of the Istanbul Design Biennial. Its second installment happened in Saatchi Gallery in London during August 2013, as a part of “Red Never Follows” exhibition sponsored by the fashion brand Hugo. In London, the electromechanical design and applications were updated by media artists Onur Sonmez and Jaak Kaevats.

With his team at SENSEable City Lab, MIT’s Carlo Ratti makes cool things by sensing the data we create. He pulls from passive data sets — like the calls we make, the garbage we throw away — to create surprising visualizations of city life. And he and his team create dazzling interactive environments from moving water and flying light, powered by simple gestures caught through sensors.
