Helgi is known for his art all over the world mostly working In Iceland, Finnland, Norway and now the Netherlands where he did his art studies. Shana Moulton Shana Moulton presented Mindplace Thoughtstream. This video features Moulton’s alter ego Cynthia using the MindPlace ThoughtStream Biofeedback Performance System, a device that helps to attain unprecedented states of wellness and self-control. Cynthia’s attempt at biofeedback triggers a disoriented dialog between her inner and outer world that lacks any sense of self-control but still manages to help her achieve some form of wellness. Through her performances, videos, and multidimensional installations, Shana Moulton (American, 1976) creates worlds at the threshold of absurdity and truth, catharsis and cliché, the material and the spiritual. Ascribing healing properties to the banal trappings of everyday life, Moulton’s works elicit a potent empathy on the part of the viewer that allows for her narratives to continue beyond the immediate experience of an artwork.
