Global Mind Project is an interdisciplinary initiative by Australian artist Karen Casey in collaboration with software designer Harry Sokol.  Drawing from an earlier investigation at the Brain Sciences Institute in Melbourne, Global Mind Project is at once an exploration of technological possibilities for creation and collaboration and an interrogation of consciousness and creativity.

At the centre of the Global Mind Project is a new software interface, developed by Sokol with Casey to audiovisually render neural data gathered via EEG headsets in real time.  This technology allows for video installation as well as live interactive performance, and in future will open up new methods of collaboration between artists and the public.  In particular, as the project expands the website will become a platform for the intermingling of networked minds online.

By making visual and explicit mind states that were previously imperceptible and unconscious, Global Mind Project troubles not only the distinction between mind and body, but also the distinction between one mind, one self, and another.
