Cosmic Diagnosis
Cosmic Diagnosis is an interactive art installation that integrates astronomical data, human biological signals, and artificial intelligence–based matching algorithms.
The system continuously collects real-time cosmic dynamics—including solar wind activity, geomagnetic indices, lunar phase cycles, and pulsar rhythms—while simultaneously sensing the participant’s breathing patterns and heart rate.
Through a rhythm-matching model, the AI system compares the participant’s current bodily state with a database of cosmic frequencies, identifying the closest point of alignment.
This relationship is immediately translated into light fields, sound, and visual waveforms, forming a real-time audiovisual representation of the match.
In this work, the human body functions as input data, the universe as a reference system, and AI as an intermediary that performs correlation rather than interpretation. The participant experiences a ritual of “cosmic frequency alignment” and receives a personalized, momentary Cosmic Diagnosis Report generated from this encounter.
Cosmic Diagnosis reinterprets the ancient notion of resonance between the human body and the cosmos through computational logic. Cosmic rhythms and bodily signals are no longer treated as metaphors, but as measurable temporal structures that can be directly compared through algorithms.
Rather than positioning the universe as an object to be observed from afar, the work proposes an alternative mode of perception: understanding cosmic dynamics through the rhythms of one’s own body. AI in this context does not function as a diagnostic or explanatory authority; instead, it operates as a relational system, identifying correspondences and constructing temporary alignments.
The installation presents a vision of future medical aesthetics—precise, restrained, and data-driven—while preserving the ritualistic and sensorial dimension of bodily experience at a cosmic scale. It invites participants to reflect on how fluctuations in their own physiological rhythms mirror larger external forces, posing a contemporary question:
In a highly datafied world, how might bodily rhythm re-emerge as a coordinate for understanding reality?
