Bojana Ginn: Biometric Sublime

Telfair Museums presents a solo exhibition by artist Bojana Ginn in conjunction with the 19th edition of the museum’s PULSE Art + Technology Festival. Ginn states that her works “operate between science and spirituality, where algorithms translate intimacy into wonder.” Her new interactive installation entitled Biometric Sublime transforms the rhythms of the human body into a living ecosystem of art. At its core is the heartbeat, translated into luminous video animations, therapeutic audio, and sculptural fiber elements that invite immersion and contemplation. A biometric sensor in the exhibition amplifies the viewer’s presence, turning each heartbeat into a visual expression. The rhythm of deepbreath is also encoded in the movements of the immersive video. Alongside the installation’s digital components, sculptural elements created from organic fibers such as sheep’s wool and jute will merge with sustainable synthetic materials, echoing themes of renewal and healing. Biometric Sublime is an aesthetic environment of well-being: intimate, futuristic, and profoundly human.
