"The man got to know other worlds, other civilizations, not knowing completely his own hides, alleyways, wells, blocked dark doors. S. Lem “Solaris”

Interactive installation demonstrates the field influence of the permanent magnet on the magnetic and spirit (fluorescent) liquids. Two liquids constitute the diphasic system. Due to liquids movements and their surfaces' modifications we visualize the unique processes of human brain. The spectator wears on neuro interface Emotive Epoc, the device computes a brain activity and sends information to the installation machinery

To test the project people of different ages, social groups and professional areas were invited. Test results confirmed that brain activity and mood of the man reflect on the dynamic and character of liquids movements in the sphere. Object reacts on the changes of mind and emotion states. People who spent a plenty of time with the object managed to influence the dynamic and direction of the liquids on the unconsciousness level. We also reveal that the installation visualizes the temperament of the person. The object copies your mental organization and echoes it on the liquid's surface. The object becomes a part of the participant

"The item you are viewing is a lovely and very rare Elka EK 22 Analogue Polyphonic Programmable Synthesizer. It is Italian made in 1986 and features a lot of great 80s synth sounds.

It is now also extremely programmable thanks to this excellent (Free!) Editor which you can control form your Mac or PC.

This enables you to create and save some amazing sounds from your computer, and really opens up the possibilities and enjoyment of this synth.

The Elka brand has produced perhaps only one famous synth and that is the Synthex. The EK- 22 is sometimes called 'Son of Synthex' - To be clear, it is nowhere near as powerful as the Synthex, but it is a curious and interesting find for any enthusiast."

"The previous / original owner, who is a media professional working for the BBC and Sky TV, modified this synthesizer and added a switch, two additional rotary controls and a number display. These can be seen just above the pitch and modulation wheels / keyboard keys to the left hand side. These don't currently affect any function of the synthesizer and are simply cosmetic."
