Intervals of Awareness is an interactive installation that explores how inner potential energy, which already exists within us, becomes perceived and revealed through consciousness.

The project stems from a fundamental question:
“Why do we feel full of energy at certain moments, and at other times feel completely lethargic?”

Rather than creating new possibilities, this work investigates how we become aware of and experience the potential that already exists.

Concept & Philosophy

Potentiality vs. Actuality

The work is grounded in philosophical reflections on the relationship between potentiality and actuality. It spatially interprets the relational structure between energy (Shakti) and consciousness (Shiva), as well as the concept of the seven chakras, which symbolize the flow of energy.

The Mechanism of Consciousness

In this installation, the blind represents the “opening” and “closing” of the chakras:

• Idle State: When no audience member is present, the blind remains closed and the video stops.
• Active Interaction: When a visitor approaches, a presence sensor is activated, reading recorded mood data to open the blinds and trigger the video.

  

  

Data Mapping & Visuals

The degree to which the blind opens and closes is determined by personal mood data recorded three times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening).

• Scale: Emotional states were documented on a scale from 0 (completely closed) to 3 (fully open).
• Cycle: One week of data forms a single 7-minute video cycle.
• AI Visuals: The spatial imagery in the video was generated based on atmospheres connected to the psychological characteristics of each chakra.
