The Thought
Experiment
Speculative Design

The technology that reads electrical signals from the brain has quietly moved out of hospitals and into everyday life. What to do with that data — who holds it, who benefits from it, what it reveals about us — remains genuinely unsettled.

The Thought Experiment puts you inside several possible futures, each shaped by a different answer to that question. Not as a warning, but as an experience of what it feels like to live inside each answer, and to choose which version of that future you want to inhabit.

Those who observe from outside see something reacting to something invisible. That is its own kind of encounter.

The installation uses EEG to translate the neural activity of participants into the environment around them in real time. What you encounter depends on who is inside with you, and which future you find yourselves inside together.

Step inside the question before someone else answers it for you.
