As ive said earlier in the blog posts im going to be using this VR Headset. I forgot that it actually had lenses to help your eyes focus on close objects.

Its got a really low-tech vibe to it which i’ve found a lot of wearable biofeedback devices have in common. Jacob Rivkin’s ‘Memorandum for walking’ is an example of this as the shoes he has made to record sensory information looks like the least durable shoes ive ever seen. There arnt any bells or whistles on its put together using a hot glue gun. The devices made by Rivkin and Paul Granjon look like they’ll electrocute you after attaching. From my perspective on Fine art, electronic arts such as this doesn’t get much attention compared to photography or painting. It’s a very different aesthetic but serves different purposes and uses.

The awesome thing about this kind of art is that its uses the real world data and has to abide by physics to make meanings. There are completely different techniques and processes.
