IMAGINATIVE

What would telepathy bring to our physical world?

What would happen if our thoughts materialized as physical actions in remote locations?
“IMAGINATIVE” is an installation consisting of two rooms.
In the first room, a monitor displays a cup placed in an empty room. Participants can remotely control the cup using an eye-tracking or brain-computer interface, exerting telekinetic influence. The cup moves back and forth, suspended in midair, illustrating the real-time manifestation of someone’s imagination.
In the second room, the audience encounters a remarkable spectacle. A green robotic arm on the table moves the cup, while the floor surrounding the table is scattered with broken cups.
As brain-computer interfaces directly link our “consciousness” to the external world, the question arises: What does “imagination” truly mean? What is the “imagination” that we present to the world?
