Theater in the Brain is an immersive VR experience that transforms individual consciousness into digital creation. Inside a ritual space, each visitor wears a VR headset and brainwave sensor that visualize mental activity into vivid, living digital forms. These virtual creatures breathe, evolve, and respond in real time, shaped by the viewer’s thoughts, emotions, and subtle movements.
Inspired by Taiwan’s traditional Hakka Tulou (Roundhouse), architectural spaces where community, ritual, and daily life coexist, the work reimagines this circular form as a contemporary arena of collective consciousness. Blending generative art, virtual reality, and human connection, Theater in the Brain invites participants to explore illusion, perception, and the shared rhythm of the human mind, witnessing how their inner thoughts can merge into a living, ever-changing theatre of the brain.
