Aura Sell-Out

2016 | interactive AV installation/triptychon

Aura scanning, energy field measurement, biofeedback. Welcome to AURA SELL-OUT. In the sacral video environment of AURA SELL-OUT the unfathomable, magical, and auratic are central in the human-machine dialogue. Visitors communicate through gestures with a DIY soul analysis machine, and upon the appropriate data analysis they encounter their chosen virtual counterpart: the YouTube performer with a spiritual message. They call themselves digital nomad, starsoul, clairvoyant, soul therapist, spiritual catalyst, psychologist, spirit messenger, channel medium, past life regressionist, spiritual guide, or matrix guide; they are healers, soothsayers, life coaches. In a one-and-a-half-minute video session they give instructions about seeing auras, purging chakras, and how to activate the third eye. They conduct energetic purifications and meditations and teach enlightenment, STO (service to others), and how to shape reality. Aura is their business.Gesture control by Leap Motion sensor, Pure Data programming, Found Footage Archive
