The static organ is a series of audiovisual works and interactive installation pieces created by Kiel Long.
The pieces are made using bio-feedback data that is gathered from brainwave frequency measurements (reading the electrical frequency produced from brain functions). The brainwave frequency information is recorded and measured then used to generate or control aesthetically focused feedback interfaces. All of the feedback given to the user is proportionate to the readings e.g. the higher the frequency the higher pitch of the sound and the more complex the visual.
The emphasis of the project is to show how this seemingly static organ is continually active, showing everyday and common tasks as complex functions of a highly active body part. It is also the projects aim to demonstrate a new alternative for the production of sonic and visual arts and to explore the possibilities of human-machine interaction and interfaces.
The Static Organ consists of pieces of both an audiovisual representation, and, a series of interactive installation pieces.
