concept & relevance
Envisioning a wearable device that utilises “Chakr” a logic system designed to visualise and represent the dynamic states of alterations while listening to music.
The system aims to bridge the gap between the experience of altered states of consciousness (ASC) and the awareness of these shifting states. Designed leveraging speculative wearable technology that allows the user to track their varying states of consciousness and emotions to have a better understanding of themselves on an innate level.

the anatomy
Firstly, The form is divided into four sections front, sides (left and right), back and a sphere. Each representing brain waves: Alpha, Delta, Theta, Beta respectively. Second part — Emotion Clusters, each cluster has a dedicated speed of strobe effect and the triggering of a single cluster effects all the other clusters to blink at a certain speed or pattern. The altering speeds are directly correlated to the engagement levels an individual experiences while listening to music.

the logic system
The behavior of the molecules are driven by a number of parameters. They are at the core of the logic system. The parameters allow the user and others to decipher the different states of consciousness and act as the language of consciousness.
(04)
the visualization
The visualization system is designed using multiple molecules that are arranged in a circular form (Chakr in Sanskrit ). The visualization can be directly and metaphorically associated with brain activity as emotion firing and anatomy. The wearable device utilizes a speculative technology - combination of a EEG headset with an integrated hologram projector that can project the altering states of an individual over their head.
