Robotic lasers, interface & bracketry by Robin Bussell Photo: Charlie Murphy
This installation uses refractive properties of reformed scientific glassware to create a dramatic reimagining of neuronal activities. Robotic lasers are choreographed to trace light pathways across a forest of glass neurons creating elaborate caustic patterns of light evocative of the electric pulses of energy passing across networks of braincells.
