Miriam Riefel

…explores how interactive art installations can be a part of group meditation.

During this project, Miriam wants to explore how art can be made that captures the inner workings of our minds and how people can interact with that art. In this, biomedical equipment will be used to make measurements about the state of being of participants during meditation. Those measurements, in turn, influence the art.

About Miriam

Miriam graduated from the University of Twente with a master’s degree in Interactive Technology. Besides science and technology, she has always had a great interest in making. Here she involves her passions: music, soundscapes, visual projections, psychology, the brain and philosophy. She prefers to put as many of her passions into a project as possible. With these, she creates spaces or experiences in which you can play, learn something about yourself or both. Last year, through Cross-TIC at Tetem, she developed an installation that she also exhibited at Dutch Design Week: ReView, which converts experiences into video. ‘

Re-View

With her project Re-View, she developed an installation that playfully documents visitors’ opinions about an event. The installation consists of a digital interface and projected video that keeps growing and changing under the influence of new data. The artwork thus becomes a co-creation of all visitors.

The installation could be experienced and seen during the Maker Festival Twente.
