Blank Stare

2016
laser etchings on archival Arches Aquarelle watercolor paper
30 H × 23 W in (76.2 H × 58.42 W cm) each

“Blank Stare” is a series of laser etchings on watercolor paper that integrate waveforms of fluctuating levels of attention recorded with an EEG (electroencephalogram) sensor. The fine lines burned into the paper in a repeated radial pattern create a visual focal point in the center of each etching. Each print in the “Blank Stare” series repeats a single EEG waveform recorded while the artist stared at a blank sheet of watercolor paper for sixty seconds. The data used to generate the waveforms measured attention levels.
