Project Details

"Electro-Healing" is a collaborative interdisciplinary interactive and virtual healing environment. 
 
This installation consists of eight interactive segments. Each segment is accessed through virtually touching an "active trigger point" that are icons surrounding a circular mandala image on the main display screen. 
 
The common ground of healing was interpreted by individual contributors from numerous multi-cultural world views that deal with political, social, ethical, and aesthetic concerns.
