Visualising peace of mind
In an effort to notice new things about the nature of my mind, I designed a video experiment to answer two questions: how do emotions affect peace of mind, and can data visualization and sonification be used as a creative diagnostic tool for self-awareness?
Scribing with my camera, an old piano, and editing software, I set out to conceptualize the relationship between body and mind by mapping the ebb and flow of my emotions back onto the body. If I observe emotions as they arise—rather than suppress or seek alternative feelings—will this observation influence peace of mind and bring about awareness of the totality of experience, and is it valuable to create and view a new perspective of ourselves?
