"Beyond the line of eyelids. Travel", video 8 min

 

 

 Travel by train is often a double journey towards an external point of destination and to the inside of one's self. It is often time of relaxation, absorption into one's own thoughts, a dreamy contemplation. Our brain enters the state of Alpha rhythm in which the activity of neurons is more synchronized, increasing our ability to learn as well as strengthening our creative invention and imagination. 

The sonic part of the realization combines “the outer” sounds of a train trip and “inner” ones of an alpha brainwave. 
The visual part “happens” inside a pupil. Within the boundary of a graphic record of one brainwave (EEG) lights of human settlements merges with lights of stars, galaxies and other celestial bodies.  

The discovery of brainwaves by Hans Berger in 1929 revealed that the brain while working generates electric impulses which differ in frequency and amplitude according to the state of the brain at the very moment. There are four basic electric rhythms: Alpha, Beta, Theta and Delta. We can introduce the alpha state simply  by closing our eyes and setting our mind in rest. We can also use sound to synchronize the work of the brain’s hemispheres.
