Project Uniqorn explores how participants in BR41N Hackathon event at POST City Linz, Austria perceive sound pitch and tone in the event space through the use of wearable technology, translating participants’ real-time EEG signals into a tangible piece of art using Sphero Robot Ball.
Uniqorn is a participatory and experimental project that explores people’s subjective perceptions and reactions to sound pitch and tone in Ars Electronica Festival event space. In this particular set of experiments, the hacking of participants’ EEG signals to control tiny sphero ball robots to generate tangible pieces of paintings is explored.
24 participants underwent real-time EEG monitoring in which their brain electrical rhythms were recorded through Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and controlled by a Sphero Ball robot to paint on respective canvas via a P300-based painting application on the computer during the experiment.
