The Kairos installation will literally take your breath away. The concept is essentially an experiment designed for the body and mind. The lights brighten and fade progressively over 5 second periods. By synchronizing inspirations and expirations with these periods for 5 minutes, the body enters into a state of “coherent breathing”- a soft therapy developed and used by the medical corps.
It takes 5 minutes to reach a psycho-physiological state where coherence between the heart/lung system and the nervous system creates a positive synergy for the whole body.
The initiative by renowned French designer Stephanie Marin can be viewed by registering to attend Downtown Design 2015.
