Cinematica is a digital art project using an EEG monitor in conjunction with an XY pen plotter to create visual art. The participant is invited to wear the EEG headset and their brain data will then be sent to the plotter giving it directions in which to draw, producing in the end a ‘mind-controlled’ drawing. 
EEG data was streamed from the Muse Brain-Sending Headband via OSC into Max 8, where it was used to alter parameters of shapes that had been pre-programmed and sent to the Axidraw plotter with the serial object using Axidraw's EBB commands. 
The aim of the project was to provide an accessible way for people with limited motor skills to create tangible, physical pieces of art without needing the use of their hands. 
This project was developed during a residency supported by Talking Birds in Coventry, UK and was first presented at the Hello Cov exhibition in July 2019.

Matteo Castiglioni

Making traces is a kinetic audio-visual installation by Matteo Castiglioni that investigates the possible relationships between sign and sound, trying to bring as much as possible to the time of the composition to that of the execution, creating a score in continuous creation, execution and variation. The four large transparent panels in continuous movement represent the focus of the environment, which is the point towards which the machine is more attracted. These allow you to create bright configurations in continuous variation.

The sequence is circular and is determined by three main processes: the first is that of environmental analysis, which is performed by a camera able to map the space, for the search of the lines; the second process is in sign form and concrete answer to this analysis. The gesture corresponds to a graphic sign that is drawn by the machine, which corresponds to a sound wave which is amplified, processed and spatialized in the surrounding environment.
