Event Details

Peek inside the most mysterious, powerful, and wonderous structure in the world – your very own brain.

Neuron is a motion-triggered light installation that represents our neurons and their branches at large scale. These strange yet beautiful sculptures are crafted from translucent material and LED light filaments and are motion responsive.

Approach this larger-than-life cluster and the branches and neurons react, as though passing information between them. A mirror of the same pattern of electrical and chemical signals that are triggered in our own brains.

A thought-provoking meditation on the wonder of our minds, and their ability to connect us to the world and the people around us.
