Can you imagine the language of the brain?
In this participatory workshop, participants are invited to create their own artistic representations of brain activity and thought processes. Using plaster (also known as white clay), we will explore how ideas might take form — how they are encoded, felt, and expressed in the brain and mind.
Through conversation and collaboration at the “artists’ table,” participants will discuss how thought, emotion, and perception could be visualized materially. Each person will then mould their plaster piece as a poetic translation of this inner, neural language — transforming abstract cognition into tactile form.
