Cyborg, Reversed is an interactive audiovisual installation that reconsiders the concept of the cyborg by proposing a reversal of the relationship between body and technology. Instead of the human body adapting to or being controlled by digital systems, the work places the viewer at the center of the control mechanism: their heartbeat becomes the primary signal that activates and shapes the visual environment in real time. The installation is designed as an intimate, individual experience within a confined, semi-enclosed space. The viewer holds a heart rate sensor, and each heartbeat is translated into a digital trigger that directly influences the flow of the visuals. The system, built using generative noise, feedback loops, and particle simulations, acquires a pulsating, almost organic quality, as it depends entirely on the biological rhythm of the participant. In the absence of the viewer, the work remains inactive. On a theoretical level, the project draws from feminist and posthuman thought, particularly Donna Haraway’s concept of the cyborg, as well as theories of biopolitics and technological surveillance. Rather than treating the body as a source of data to be captured and controlled, Cyborg, Reversed proposes a condition in which technology becomes vulnerable and dependent on it. Through this inversion, the work operates as a critical gesture toward contemporary regimes of technological power, repositioning the body as an active agent of control and creation.
