Cybernetic Consciousness 
// Choreographies of the Self

This project explores how self-awareness operates as a cybernetic process: a continuous loop of perception, response, and adjustment.
By introducing a short delay between action and perception, the system creates a perceptual gap in which participants encounter themselves as both subject and object of observation.

​

The work asks:
What happens when awareness is forced to look at itself slightly out of sync?
And how does this experience shift when it becomes shared?

​

Participants experience a moment of estrangement from their own image — a gentle alienation that draws attention to the mechanics of awareness itself. 

As multiple participants engage with the system, the experience expands from an individual encounter into a collective one: a shared field of attention where each person witnesses others navigating the same perceptual loop. Awareness becomes something that can be seen, felt, and synchronized.

Through this project, I discovered that self-observation is not only a solitary process, but one that can be shared. The system revealed how awareness behaves differently when it is witnessed — how perception becomes performative, relational, and collective.
