By materializing the nervous system as a process of perception itself, the installation invites participants to take part in the process of perception. The nervous apparatus, made of electronic components and sensors, constantly gathers information about the environment, which is interpreted and transformed in real time. A modified version of the data thus emerges, confronting the viewer with an unpredictable outcome.
The electrified perception of the installation, like the human one, is multisensory and focuses on multiple sensations simultaneously. Through the integration of electronic components, the system captures individual stimuli in layers. The viewer is thus able to interact with the installation and influence which data the system will capture and manipulate. The audience becomes an important participant in the process of perception. The nervous system is able to pick up sound, touch and movement. The individual stimuli are interpreted and transmitted back to the environment in the form of multi-channel sound or light.
At the intersection of human intervention and machine processing of stimuli, questions emerge about the limits of human influence in shaping our understanding of the world. The installation seeks to disrupt established notions of the world and confront viewers with an always unique mystification of information from the environment. Through the interactivity of the work, the viewer becomes a collaborator in the formation of new outcomes.
Perception, a fundamental aspect of human experience, raises questions throughout history about the nature of reality and our place in it. Rooted in the structure of our being, like a lens through which we interpret and orient ourselves in the external world. Each individual's perception is shaped by a complex interplay of evolutionary adaptations, personal experiences, and cognitive filters. Thanks to the theory of natural selection, we know that every living being's perception has been evolutionarily adapted to the environment it lives in to help it survive and reproduce. Thus, everyone perceives mainly what they need. In every sensing, we abstract, reduce and interpret the surrounding reality. As a result, the idea of a unified world view, separate from subjective perception, breaks down.
At the heart of these considerations lies the idea that the world as we perceive it is merely an abstraction of information obtained from the environment. We construct our own version of reality, divorced from the true nature of the original stimuli. Our mind, in its relentless pursuit of making sense of the world, is constantly translating raw data into meaningful representations. In the process, however, without our knowledge, we are distancing ourselves from the original nature of the stimuli.
While digging through the archive, I came across this older (audiovisual) essay Electrified Perceptual System
https://vimeo.com/kindl/receptor
The interactive installation Receptor explores the issue of incompleteness of knowledge and the process of perception. The neural network crossing the space represents an electrified perception that constantly gathers information about its surroundings. In real time, the system interprets the data and returns it back to the environment in a distorted form. The installation thus seeks to challenge what we consider fixed.

**About the film release.**
After sharing Moira with an audience at HKU (Utrecht, NL), we’re excited to finally release it online. Unlike traditional filmmakers, our team comes from Image and Media Technology. We took on every role ourselves, an ambitious challenge that pushed us to grow with each step, from navigating unpredictable natural terrains to developing sound and creating VFX from scratch.
Throughout the process, we witnessed technology evolve at an incredible pace, reshaping our approach to imagery. While we were sometimes overly ambitious, we were constantly amazed by how much we could adapt and achieve.
We believe in sharing our films from the very beginning, not behind closed doors, but online and accessible to everyone. Moira is just the start, a launchpad for many future productions. As a new generation of digital creators, we are committed to shaping the medium on our own terms, moving quickly and adapting to the ever-changing landscape of storytelling and technology.
Film by: Rémi Homan, Antonín Kindl, Can Oksas, Xenia Lodewijks, Illiya Korniyenko
