Survey of real-time brainmedia in artistic exploration.

Abstract

This survey examines the evolution and impact of real-time brainmedia on artistic exploration, contextualizing developments within a historical framework. To enhance knowledge on the entanglement between the brain, mind, and body in an increasingly mediated world, this work defines a clear scope at the intersection of bio art and interactive art, concentrating on real-time brainmedia artworks developed in the 21st century. It proposes a set of criteria and a taxonomy based on historical notions, interaction dynamics, and media art representations. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of real-time brainmedia, setting the stage for future explorations of new paradigms in communication between humans, machines, and the environment.
