I am a filmmaker and digital art artist, working on art-science projects. I am particularly interested in the links between cinema and mind. I have realized an interactive film prototype for theater display, Emotive Cinema, in which the emotions of spectators are changing the narrative. Spectators are wearing EEG headphones which analyzed their brain waves in real time in terms of emotions. This project has been realized with many scientific partnerships, amongst them the Labri in University of Bordeaux. I am coming to present this research and get to know about what is going on on a worldly scale on this subject, on a theoretical level and in terms of creation .
