Projet Xion (2002)
Presented as the final project for my media arts studies, Projet Xion is a media installation created with the assistance of Marie-Christine Perron Marier.
The piece stages a controlled sensory environment for a voluntary participant: peripheral vision is constrained, headphones provide audio isolation, and a heart-rate sensor tracks arousal throughout. A large screen presents a sequence moving from relaxation to sensory aggression to dynamic stimuli; a second projection shows the participant’s eyes to an outside audience, along with periodic heart-rate readouts.
