HEARTBEAT LABYRINTH
2023 Real-Time Audio-Reactive / Multisensory Project/ Digital Well-being
The heartbeat serves as the trigger to initiate and expand a meditative labyrinth.
Project on the body, it transfers the body into an interactive canvas to reflect the wearer's internal rhythms.
Projected on the ground, it invites people to focus on their breath, listen to their heartbeat, and physically walk through.
A labyrinth is a single, winding path leading to a central point. It has been used for centuries in various cultures and spiritual traditions as a tool for meditation, reflection, and spiritual exploration. Heartbeat Labyrinth concept emerged at the beginning of my MA studies, inspired by a missile threat in my hometown, which left us in a state of uncertainty and insecurity. It is from this context that the need for an "exit", both symbolically and literally.
The labyrinth designs incorporate the most chosen words of Taiwanese in RCA to define their word for “exit”, representing "hand," "mountain," and “sky.”

Synchronizing your breath and heartbeat. Let them be your compass, guiding you through the labyrinth.
“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.
Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
