Mindflow is a nine-channel audio/video installation developed over four years. The project used artificial intelligence, motion capture, dance, architectural CGI, and classical improvisation. Performer Ekin Bernay’s movement data became the base for CGI videos, which were then used as a score-like reference for musicians improvising in the studio.

The installation was arranged as a spiral of nine videos and nine audio channels. Its structure brings together body data, architectural space, synthetic image-making, and live musical response rather than treating the visuals as a fixed music video timeline.

My work focused on the creative technology layer: connecting movement, generated imagery, and spatial playback into a system that could support the installation’s improvisational logic.
