The actual title of this video »Electro Encephalographic Interactive Video Brainwave Drawings« was shortened to »Electro Encephalographic« when it was published in the seminal video magazine Infermental.
Nina Sobell combined EEG technology, closed-circuit television, and internet communication in the art world. Early in her career, she focused on experimental forms of interaction and performance, and explored the ways in which technology mediates psychic transformations and modulates the perception of space and time. Her substantial body of work includes live performance and TV, museum installations, sculpture, and interactive video matrices that invited public participation.
Sobell began using video in 1969 at Cornell, to observe spectators’ interactions with her sculptures which were placed anonymously in public areas. Immersing herself at the intersection of video and sculpture, Sobell became fascinated with creating psycho-social transformations via video technology, making environments and mobile structures to physically engage the viewer.
