The MOMENT (2018)
The MOMENT is a brain controlled dystopian sci-fi film following three interlinking stories. Directed by artist and researcher Richard Ramchurn, it uses a Neurosky headset to detect EEG brain waves which will effect the edit, sound mix and narrative of a specially created movie.
There are over 18 billion narrative combinations of the film. Each screening is unique.
The MOMENT is screened in an intimate Mobile Cinema inside a converted caravan seating up to 6 audience members and one controller.
The MOMENT
In collaboration with the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training.
