Focus, Rest, Remembrance (Hidilyn Diaz EEG), 2023

LED panels, EEG data from Hidilyn Diaz, video driver. Unique.

600 x 50 cm (236.22 x 19.69 in)

A brainwave reader was connected to weightlifter and airwoman Hidilyn Diaz who, at the 2020 Olympics, became the first Filipino athlete to win an Olympic gold medal. Her brain activity was monitored while she exercised (focus), slept (rest), and watched the playback of her own gold-winning performance (remembrance). The data plays on a tower of LEDs that face the gallery wall. The viewer can see only light seeping out the sides. The light from the streaming data interacts with the physical gallery space giving it form and structure in the same way the body gives form to the mind.
