cinematic environment: activated when the viewer lays down on the autopsy table, cymatic frequencies create tactile pulses which ripple throughout the viewers body, pin-pointing in particular areas of the lower spine, legs, arms, neck and head. A looping film created from the discarded heaps of the medical industry was made to view in conjunction with the tactile sound; together they exploit (and perhaps even exhaust) the body-image centers of the brain (mirror neurons), thus using haptic stimulations as the access point into building an experiential map of the body — allowing the experience of a displaced body-image (O.B.E, shifts in perceivable size/scale) to intertwine with a more, narratively charged crescendo of discovery.
