Roel Heremans’ artis­tic career took sha­pe after a serious acci­dent and cere­bral hemor­r­ha­ges in the left hemis­p­he­re of his brain tem­po­ra­ri­ly affec­ted his per­cep­ti­on. Since then, dra­wing in part on the the­o­ry of Iain McGilchrist, he has been explo­ring the dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween the two hemis­p­he­res of the brain and the various modes of per­cep­ti­on. Based on this prin­ci­ple, he aims to devel­op seve­r­al inter­ac­ti­ve sound instal­la­ti­ons to inves­ti­ga­te soci­al and futu­re para­doxes. The pro­ject explo­res how tech­no­lo­gy, per­cep­ti­on, and ethics con­ver­ge, with an emp­ha­sis on the ten­si­on bet­ween human expe­rien­ce and digi­tal systems.
