Project Description

"Kegel Controller" is a performance that uses live biofeedback from the pelvic floor muscle.  Information is collected from a perineometer, a medical device developed to help women with kegel exercises.

The perineometer is connected to MaxMSP via the make controller.  The perineometer output is used to produce sounds and manipulate video on a small LCD display. 

With no description posted, curious viewers must speak with the artist in order to find out how the video is being controlled.  In the act of speaking, the artist triggers variations in biofeedback and activates the video.
