Aboutness the exhibition — Loreto Valenzuela

"every new objects, open up a new organ of perception in us" Goethe.

I.S.I.T.04.2014 from Loreto on ︎imeo.

"These works are an experimental artistic response to the neuroscientific research of Dr. Tristan Bekinschtein, Dr. Olaf Hauk, Dr. Nikolaus Kriegeskorte and Prof. Carsten Mehring".

This project hopes to demonstrate just how curious and illuminating such collaborations between the minds of artists and those of scientists can be and why the cross-pollination is both essential and provocative.

With all it differences art and sciences collaborations can create conversations that might challenge people's bubbles and eco chambers. My intentions for this project was to extend the dinner conversation exchanges with scientists, bringing into the light of an art exhibition where extending the subjects of their studies into an art form open up the possibilities to explore what we know about our brain functions from a different perspective.

Jing

on presenting the thing: that was the question? institutional-art or commune-art brain?! (preluding...aboutness exist because of the action, the thing, the condition, the meeting, the event, the inter-play, the thing that one goes on about it and fore).
"How difficult it is...to refrain from replacing the thing with
its sign, to keep the object alive before us instead of killing it
with words" Goethe.

incorporated into his outgoing impulses, so that he learns how to meet his environment with the right kind of anticipatory response" David Bohm
"The human being himself to the extend that make sound use his sense, is the most exact physical apparatus that can exits"
"Go on" Wittgenstein

"White surfaces in shadow or low light might be equivalent to
grey" " both produced an excitability of the retina and a silent
resistance".
