Describe the creative idea

We created a series of visuals that use real movements in nature which are scientifically proven to increase the alpha waves in the brain, making you calmer, more focused, and more engaged. The visuals were created in collaboration with neuroscientists and the art collective, Marshmallow Laser Feast. The team tracked the movements of different natural elements such as sand shifting, ocean waves and a dancer moving through the air. The fractal patterns created by these movements were used to develop neuroaesthetic animations. The final animations were lab tested of participants proving that they brought people closer to a creative state of flow.

Describe the execution

The neuroaesthetic animations were created by enhancing real movements in nature that are scientifically proven to help bring people closer to a state of creative flow. Such as ocean waves that stimulate the visual cortex, fractal patterns on land that evoke a calm state that is crucial for creating flow and movement of the human form that creates a sense of embodiment, presence, aesthetic and affective pleasure. These animations were then lab tested on participants, to confirm the scientific hypothesis. The final animations were first unveiled during Kia’s new brand showcase and then installed as digital OOHs all over the world, from Stockholm to Seoul.
