SEEING OURSELVES
MUSE | CENTER OF
PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MOVING IMAGE http://www.musecpmi.org/seeingourselves
Curated by Koan Jeff Baysa, M.D. and Caitlin Hardy, M.D.
Seeing Ourselves is a
unique exhibit in which world class art will be combined with cutting edge
science to leave viewers inspired by the beauty and capabilities of the human
brain. While many scientific advances have inspired artists over the years, art
and medicine have a special area of overlap in the desire to represent the human
mind and body. As demonstrated in two groundbreaking articles in the March, 2010
issue of Radiology, new MRI technology allows us to see details in the living
brain that were previously seen only through the lens of a low-powered
microscope. This important step has excited the scientific world, but has not
yet been shared with the art world or with the general public. High-resolution
MRIs will be displayed side-by-side with the artwork they have inspired,
allowing viewers to marvel at both the structural beauty of the brain and the
creative potential housed inside of it.
The concept of the neuroplastic brain opens new horizons of hope for healing
brain injuries through physiological and biochemical changes, and to become more
aware human beings by discovering new ways of experiencing and interacting with
the world...
