About the exhibition:
Inspired by brain research, the artists explore the boundaries between art and technology and confront viewers with challenges regarding ethics and acceptance. Sculptures, paintings, video installations, and texts question the interrelation between medical technologies and mental health, while inviting the viewrs to engage in a dialogue and to discuss about what the future of public health might be.
Conception and curation: Danesh Ashouri
