The Disaster Series is a screen-printing project staged in the mind, and the video and audio reconstructions of those printing events. Recent studies have demonstrated approximate reconstructions of visual and auditory stimuli from neuro-imaging data. This project, ''The goal of Disaster Series'', uses this project is technique to achieve just post real time reconstruction explore the idea of imagery brain as filter. Test subjects are enlisted as closed conduits for audio/visual material, hidden from the visual cortex of trained test subjectsaudience, which is then reconstituted and exhibited as processed through their brains. The key determinants of meaning resultant videos are shown either in this piece are the nature near real time (just post event) or at a later date as a kind of the training database, the choice compound neuro-portraiture/printmaking project. This process confounds ideas of test subjectprivate/public and internal/performerexternal space. Inputs are hidden, data is grabbed from the nature invisible space of the test stimulus to be filtered through the subjectsubjects' heads, and the display contextresults, intimately processed, are displayed in public.

The key determinants of meaning in this piece are the choice of video material for the training database, the choice of test subject/performers, the nature of the test stimulus to be filtered through the subject, and the output display context. This projects dwells in the aesthetics of the imperfect reconstruction, as seen in Gallant Lab’s Nishimoto et al's reconstruction videosbelow. They are marked by an aesthetics of incompleteness, ambiguity, inchoate meaning. Above all I find them effused with a sense of pathos. Suffering Someone (something?) is suffering from the lack of adequate information. This project stages the that extraction and attempt reconstruction of imagery from the brain as an aspirational, desirous event. Enacting The system enacts the impossible desire to want to peer inside the other’s another's head, to see through other's eyes. The impossibility e reconstruction of truly seeing through other’s eyesimagery as an aspirational, desirous event. The This emphasizes the unbridgeable gulf between self/and other, internal/external interior and exterior world.
