NETWORK

By  Gemma Wood 2022 - 2023
Network is a large scale inflatable artwork that represents a network of neurons. Neurons act as the processor in our bodies and brain. Taking in the sensory information, they connect and make sense of the world around us. Though the installation is large scale, it is also modular. Each neuron links to the next in the same way a neuron does in the brain. This means smaller venues can get in on the action, and larger venues can create a huge impact. They have lights installed that impulse and move through from neuron to neuron, mimicking the energy and messages in our body and mind. There is also a soundscape to fully immerse the visitor in the feeling of entering a mind. The engagement opportunity in this work is to record sound, it could be people talking about memories or experiences anything that involves thought. The first edition of this work involved people writing and reading out letters to their own body in a conversation format. This work was produced in partnership with @Kwoklabs at The university of Leeds, and often The Broken Orchestra.
