Der Gedankenprojektor

cat-x Project Gedankenprojektor

A special camera, as used during medical examinations, takes a picture of the back of the Eyball and the iris. This picture is shown on the central projection.  

A computer interprets this picture, revealing the hidden thoughts of the visitor which are mapped on the retina. The results are projected onto the left wall of the exhibition space.

The picture of the eye and the thoughts are combined in a data package on the internet. A virtual parapsychologist (Dr. Johan Svenstrøm) interprets this data and his comments are projected onto the right wall of the exhibition space.
