(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.
