MASKS is a wearable device which translates the body's physiological changes into a tangible medium. Through projections on the mask, the body, and the space, it exaggerates the silent dialogue between human life and the built environment by visualizing flow patterns from a projector above one’s head onto a translucent veil in front of one’s mouth and the surrounding surfaces, and blending light, pulse and breath with the human form and space.

​

One wears the screen while ascending and descending steps creating an improvised performance of one's pulse and breath reacting to the effort expelled from vertical movement. These silent biological signals - being sensed, visualized, and projected- become as loud, if not louder, than verbal communication forcing us to take notice of the often ignored sensations and the muted impact that the environment has on our bodies.
