Brain Synchronization

Inter-brain synchronization is associated with social connectedness. Brain synchronization aims at simulating this brain synchronization through playful virtual collaboration.
A canvas is split into two halves. On the left side, users can freely draw anything they like. Then, a virtual mate, influenced by the user’s strokes, automatically mirrors the drawing on the right side of the canvas. The mate’s canvas responds dynamically by introducing vibrant colours. Additionally, the mate’s colours influence the original canvas, incorporating the introduced colours in the original canvas. Together, the two canvases complete the collaborative drawing, illustrating the concept of brain synchronization to the audience.

The artwork is built with p5.js. Simply press and move your mouse on the left side of the screen to unleash your creativity.

While the user’s initial drawing may be simple, a pencil-like line, it transforms when merged with the mate’s colours. The completed artwork surprises with new aesthetics.
The interplay between your drawings and your friend’s interpretations leads to a harmonious whole. Playfulness becomes the brush stroke that paints a new aesthetic—one that transcends individual styles and embraces shared creativity.

Taka, a self-taught generative artist, blends technical expertise with artistic creativity. With a background as a seasoned software engineer and strategist in IT corporations and startups, he finds beauty in how a single rule can give rise to intricate patterns, inspired by the elegance of mathematical algorithms. Taka pursued his passion for data visualization during the time at the University of Tokyo. His undergraduate research focused on simulating micro fluids, a captivating exploration of fluid behavior at the smallest scales. For his master’s degree, he embarked on visualizing brain activities using EEG and MRI, unravelling the neural mechanisms of reasoning.
Ludic Aesthetics Online Exhibition
Ludic Aesthetics Online Exhibition presents 15 works that explore ludic aesthetics as an essential way of reflecting, challenging, and creating meaning in society and techno-culture. The relationships between the works offer a diverse and dynamic showcase of playfulness at its core in creative coding and computation.
We invite you to explore how artists, academics, researchers, and practitioners explored and interpreted such a notion in their works.
