Other Information:
The Politics of the Divine: Thangka numérique: installation examining ‘spectacle’ in religious architecture and in items of worship and instruction–from the perspective of examining its relationship to autonomic reflex–hard-wired brain responses to environmental cues such as colour, luminance, patterns, spatial volume, and sensory overloading. Through the device of non-symbolic 2D digital constructs derived from study of the material and geometry of thangka: South Asian/Tibetan Buddhist paintings that illuminate manifestations of the divine, the installation creates a visual and sound art environment to enhance our understanding of the significance of contemplative space and iconography across various cultures.
