Untitled (submerged screens)
Details of a series of screens submerged in non conductive fluid for the installation A Search for Ghosts in the Meat Machine. This series of submerged videos examine how current science understands the notion of being sentient. Some of the videos contain renderings created from MRI data of the artist’s body and brain.
