Works > Node

The body is a node at the intersection of the macro- and the micro-biological worlds. It is pierced by an aluminum branching structure, a form common to neurons, trees, and lightning. The body is transparent, its boundaries invaded by medical technology: scanners, fiber-optic cameras, EEGs. A “mental environment” envelopes the figure: digital displays simulate a constant barrage of neural impulses; videos of lightning projected on the wall alternate with a stroboscopically illuminated model created by collaborator Rob Saulnier that suggests, on the one hand, electrical energy, neural pathways, junctions, and foci of attention, and on the other an anxious state of mind.
