This exegesis details the development of four interactive artworks that enable audiences to observe and reflect on aspects of their own psychophysiology, using the technologies of biofeedback interaction as a way of situating the participant’s subjectivity and bodily experiences within each other as reciprocal phenomena. The central theme addressed through these works concerns the representation and experience of subjectivity as a physiologically embodied phenomenon. Although contemporary theories of psychophysiology and phenomenology have overturned the idea of mind-body separation, many forms of cultural practice continue to represent subjectivity as a fundamentally disembodied phenomenon. The artworks documented in this exegesis extend this process of re-examination through the use of interacting bio-sensing technologies and audience participation. Each of the works create a space where participants and observers alike can become present to aspects of body-mind process. / Doctor of Creative Arts (DCA)
