Artificial Intelligence
2016. Silicon, resin and steel
The work comprises eight brains made of silicon corresponding to all Nobel prices awarded to scientists associated with Bell Laboratories. The work raises questions about embodiment and draws parallels between the human brain and the computer’s microcomponents which are made of silicon, an element that keeps close similarities to carbon (which is the basis of all life and brain functionality).
This work was shown as part of the exhibition No pain, no brain at Henrique Faria, New York in 2016. The exhibition’s text written by Ken Farmer can be found here.
