The Neural Canvas: AI, Brain Tech, and the Future of Creative Consciousness
PROJECT: AI & CONSCIOUSNESS MANIFESTO
A DISTRUPTIVE ART PROJECT & PHYGITAL MIND EXPERIMENT
For a long time, attempts have been made to decode the human mind, and researchers have put a lot of effort on this topic since the 1980s. However, a non-invasive process was challenging because signals are not as qualitative as an intrusive solution. The truly innovative part is the merging of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) solutions (still in early stages) with AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). In a primitive stage, a BCI system may not precisely decode every signal, but a LLM can act as a supervisor, efficiently translating signals into natural language through specific prompts.
Ultimately in 10 years from now humans will interact seamlessly with computers. But will the human mind once conquered be the limit? The scope of the project is to raise awareness on the duality of Brain AI Technology and its implication with the help of three Artists, which will have access to our technology capable of reading thoughts and do an analysis of the human mind. The project will consist of an interactive phygital experiment, which will involve 100 volunteers that will take part in the project and will give access to their thoughts in live sessions, which will be further represented by artists as a digital art creation. All the resulted artwork will be sold as NFTs. At the end of the two weeks of the experiment, all the collected thoughts will be merged in a unique Collective Consciousness Art piece => "The 100 Thoughts Canva", that will be auctioned.
