The Fluidity exhibition takes you to three rooms, where artistic interests in humanities and philosophical themes, psychology and neuroscience intersect. Each room draws the viewer into its interior and leads him to think more deeply about a particular work of art.
The moving images Plasticity I and Plasticity II work with the motif of the neuron, the basic functional and histological unit of nervous tissue, which is capable of receiving, transmitting, processing and responding to specific signals. These moving images illustrate the constant process of change in the brain that takes place during learning and adaptation. It highlights new insights into the transformation, adaptation and recoding of experience, reminding us that this ability can lead to positive transformations at the neuroplastic level.
In the work Esencia - from the Laboratory of Neuroaesthetic Images series - an interdisciplinary approach combining neuroaesthetics and the principles of new media is represented, the result of which is the correlation - synthesis of formal structures - of the neuroaesthetic code, which aims to positively stimulate the orbitofrontal cortex, known as the centre of beauty. The work was created through the process of procedural-creative coding.
The motion picture Imagination Landscape is a fascinating work of art that draws inspiration from John Cage's musical compositions and his approach to chance and silence, like Cage's music, which often transcends the boundaries of traditional composition and perception, Imagination Landscape experiments with visual space and time. The work creates a dynamic landscape where changing images seamlessly blend and leave room for individual interpretation and contemplation. This art video invites viewers to a profound experience that resonates with Cage's pioneering exploration of random elements and their impact on our perception of art and the world around us.
The video installation 4 Types introduces us to the ideas of Hippocrates, who believed that each individual belongs to one of the four basic temperaments, based on the so-called "corporeal" - blood (sanguis), mucus (phlegma), bile (cholé) and black bile (melancholé). These four terms form the basis for the following projection. The images open our view through the microscope, present the invisible to us, and simultaneously invite us to self-reflection. Which temperament are we most aware of in ourselves? We can find the answer to this question right here.
The works intertwine and complement each other. In every room, the viewer can be reminded of the importance of the concepts and functioning of the human mind and body.
