Reverse Tower Ritual

at The State Philharmonia of Armenia

2026

Reverse Tower Ritual is a participatory sound and live performance project that explores how the body can reorient itself within conditions of uncertainty and continuous change. Drawing on Heraclitus’s metaphor of the river and the idea of constant flux, the project considers the body as something that is never static, but continually changing in relation to its surroundings.

The work is driven by participants’ biometric data, including brainwaves, muscle activity, and touch. These bodily signals are used in real time to influence sound, moving image, laser, and other elements of the installation. Rather than treating bodily data simply as information to be measured, the project uses it as a form of navigation, asking how the body might orient itself through its own changing biological signals.

My role in the project included video design, EEG-trigger control, and installation making.
