suspended brain, projections: audio description

Arts House Listening Program

(suspended brain, projections): Are you projecting other people’s ideas all over my neurology? Head in the clouds, raising my consciousness with the help of the tech team, making my MRI 3D. --- A papier mache top-down MRI scan of a brain, approximately 2M high by 1M wide. It is suspended high in the space. One side is smooth. The other has contours and textured grooves that are the MRI scans in a 3D form. Both sides have unique projections on them. The textured side has a mixture of: - Shadowy browns, blues, yellow that leave the top and bottom segments of the brain without projection - Rorschach like shapes of purple, brown, orange and blue. The shapes and colours shift. On the flat side of the brain: - Close ups of oily looking fingers. The image is cut into portions by wavy lines. - It shifts to a bright pink and purple background as the fingers reveal clear goop. There is a triangular tattoo on one finger and honeycomb patterned nail polish on all fingers. Neary is an accompanying audio piece. The three speakers are covered in black card and wrapped to become cone shaped.
