Sleep Waking (Mr. Roboto) from Brainwave:Common Senses
Loading...
Uploaded by exitartnyc on Mar 12, 2008
Sleep Waking, created by artists Brendan Burns and Fernando Orellana, uses recorded brain activity during rapid eye movement (R.E.M.) sleep to determine its movements.
BRAINWAVE: Common Senses responds to current advancements in neurological research by visualizing and investigating the brain's capacity for sense perception, memory, emotion and logic. The artists in this exhibition redefine this research in a different way, abandoning literal representations of the brain and categorical analysis in favor of works that take, as starting points, elements from neuroscience and flipping these ideas on their heads.
These works create an alternate discourse between art and science, encouraging the viewer to consider the brain not only as the center of human activity but as a site for interpretation. This exhibition presents the brain as a site for scientific and philosophical debates, for examining our relationship to the world -- and for questioning our common sense.
This exhibition is the second in Exit Art's Unknown Territories series of exhibitions that explore the impact of scientific advances on contemporary culture and examine in particular how contemporary artists interpret and interact with the new knowledge and possibilities created by technological innovation in the 21st century.
Music: Mr. Roboto
