Recursive Feedback Ritual 0.01 is a real-time computational sculpture driven by motion-capture replay and coupled with a percussive installation, externalizing a compulsive self-regulation ritual as a measurable loop of repetition and disassociation.
Running on Unreal Engine 5.6, driven by motion capture and Heart Rate variability data. Originated by the compulsive mental ritual when I am being through with my Bipolar Disorder and OCD. Depicting the realization of how my coping mechanism turns into an intrusive thought — becoming the violent softness.
This work originates from a recurring, highly concrete internal visualization that first emerged during my most severe days with bipolar disorder and OCD, and still returns when I am emotionally overwhelmed.
In this ritual-like visualization, I repeatedly imagine pressing “a miniature self” between my palms—flattening it, folding it like paper, and carefully sealing each crease. At other times, I imagine my body collapsing like a broken doll; I try to “pick myself up,” but the self slips, falls, and collapses again—an endless attempt to reassemble what cannot be stabilized.
This imagery has persisted for years and became so normalized that I did not recognize its existence; I did not even bring it up in therapy.
On the surface, this repetitive, inward process resembles mindfulness practice — quiet, focused, breath-like.
Over time, I recognise that this mental ritual inside my head is not only protection:
It's a surrender.
It's a ritual of restraint.
It's disassociated calm.
It's the violence of gentleness.
The question behind this piece is simple yet uneasy:
“How do we create internal distance from our own emotions?”
