“The Mindfulness Machine” offers a grounding experience. The visual component of this artwork depends entirely on the viewers and their movements within the space. The figures and movements are captured and translated into a particle system. The system visualises the movements in real-time, creating a mesmerising and immersive experience. By using technology as a weapon against it, this artwork invites the viewers to step away from the distractions of the digital world and return to a state of presence and awareness, reestablishing their connection to the tangible world around them.
