Installation view, entrance
Twenty artists explored the field of knowledge usually investigated by neuroscience using different materials, practices, histories, spaces, non-spaces, methods. Rather than being a show about the collaboration between art and science or a reductive methodology of how the brain works, the exhibition attempted to promote the idea of a becoming brain. Art, like cinema, creates new possibilities for the imagination. Artists included: Matthew Ritchie, Douglas Gordon, Jason Rhoades, Carl Fudge, Spencer Finch, Rickie Albende, Uta Barth, Thomas Ruff, Liam Gillick, T. Kelly Mason, Andrea Robbins, Jack Pierson, Jonathan …

2016
“Hace 30 años hice una peregrinación a la Point Lobos State Reserve, justo debajo de Carmel, California, el sitio de las más importantes fotografías de Edward Weston y quizá el de unas de las más importantes fotografías de la época moderna. El año pasado repetí el viaje de nuevo. Esta vez memoricé primero las imágenes de Weston antes de partir. Ellas actuaron como drogas y poseyeron mis pensamientos e imaginación”. Bajo esta premisa, el artista interviene las icónicas fotografías de seascapes y landscapes capturadas por Edward Weston …

A Matter of Life and Death – Pinar YoldasPlastic is the building block of mass consumption. It is very rare to find a consumer product that does not involve plastics in its production or distribution. Even the most pure or in other words least processed items such as fresh produce or water rely on plastic for transportation, packaging, distribution and so on. Plastic is highly evasive, around us, on us, in us, within us. A synthetic polymer, plastic finds its final form through the use of plasticizers such as phthalates. As plastics age, esters of phthalic acid are released to the …

“…The most extensive modification to take place in human brain evolution – the disproportionate expansion of the cerebral cortex, and specifically of the prefrontal cortex – reflects the evolutionary adaptation to this intensive working memory processing demand imposed by symbol learning. So the very nature of symbolic reference, and its unusual cognitive demands when compared to non-symbolic forms of reference, is a selection force working on those neurological resources most critical to supporting it. In the context of a society heavily dependent on symbol use-as is any conceivable human society, but no nonhuman societies-brains would have been under intense selection to adapt to …

The aim of the TRANS_THINKING THE CITY series is to bring together experts and scholars in both the sciences and the humanities to discuss issues of relevance to current architecture and urban practices; issues effecting our cities, polis, ethos, communities. Trans_Thinking is a term employed to indicate a new mode of intellectual activity, …
This post is in: Events,NewsGood morning everyone, I would like to welcome you to Goldsmith’s College and our conference on Neuroaesthetics. This conference is the last of four conferences held here since January, the others being ‘A Phantom Limb Phenomena: Its Aesthetic, Cultural and Philosophical Implications’, ‘Creative Evolution’, and ‘Creativity and Cognition’. This conference looks at the new and emerging field of Neuroaesthetics—what it is, what it is doing and where it is going. In my opinion, artists have always been implicitly interested in vision, audition, movement, language, perception, cognition, consciousness and now sampling, plasticity, and synchronicity. …

That’s what’s amazing about Power Point, it’s a tool, it’s another dj tool, especially when you DJ your own history, or your own ideas or whatever. I live in Shorditch. I’ve lived there for a year and a half and in Shorditch there’s all this graffiti on the walls because there’s a big club scene there and I was walking around yesterday or the day before and on this wall it said, “Resistance is Futile,” which …
This post is in: Journal of Neuro-Aesthetic Theory #5 (2005-07),Cultured Brain“The impossibility of producing a synthetic image of the city is also connected with the fact that today the perception range of urban spatial quality is much wider. Today we compose different individual perceptual experiences within homogeneous bands: veritable editing’s of perceptual sequences. And these bands even more than single static images, are the elements that construct our identity as erratic citizens of the urbanized territory.”
– Stefano Boeri “Two Paradoxes about Multitude”

This post is in: Journal of Neuro-Aesthetic Theory #3 (2003-04)‘I am proposing the notion that we are here in the presence of something like a mutation in built space itself. My implication is that we ourselves, the human subjects who happen into this new space, have not kept pace with that evolution: there has been a mutation in the object unaccompanied as yet by any equivalent mutation in the subject. We do not yet possess the perceptual equipment to match this new hyperspace, as I will call it, in part because our perceptual habits were formed in that older kind of space I have called the space of high modernism-The newer architecture therefore-like other …
This post is in: Journal of Neuro-Aesthetic Theory #2 (2000-02),Cinema and the BrainThe multidimensional map that links cybernetics, cognitive neuroscience and art commences early on in the history of cybernetics. First, cybernetics relationship to cognitive neuroscience is born out in its standard dictionary definition ” a science dealing with the comparative study of complex electronic calculating machines and the human nervous system in an attempt to explain the nature of the brain” (1) The two early pioneers of cybernetics Norbert Weiner and Warren McCollough were both involved in enlisting cybernetics in formulations of the workings of the processes of neural networks. Neural networks are groups of neurons, the basic cell of the nervous system which are responsible …
This post is in: Journal of Neuro-Aesthetic Theory #1 (1997-99)In the following argument I will utilize a theoretical framework of neurobiology called neural darwinism or neuroselectionism to construct a means through which an ever-evolving and variable, culturally determined, external objective reality acts to inscribe itself upon the developing brain. I will first describe this theoretical model. Thereafter I will describe a narrative that tells the story of the ontogeny of the art object as it moves through linear and non-linear time. …
