Recent studies have demonstrated approximate reconstructions of visual and auditory stimuli from neuro-imaging. This project, ''The Disaster Series'', uses this technique to explore the idea of brain as filter. Test subjects are enlisted as closed conduits for audio/visual material, hidden from the audience, which is then reconstituted and exhibited as processed through their brains. The resultant videos are shown either in near real time (just post event) or at a later date as a kind of compound neuro-portraiture/printmaking project. This process confounds ideas of private/public and internal/external space. Inputs are hidden, data is grabbed from the invisible space of the subjects' heads, and the results, intimately processed, are displayed in public.
The key determinants of meaning This projects dwells in this piece are the choice aesthetics of video material for the training databaseimperfect reconstruction, the choice as seen in Nishimoto et al's reconstruction videos below. They are marked by an aesthetics of test subject/performersincompleteness, ambiguity, inchoate meaning. Above all I find them effused with a sense of pathos. Someone (something?) is suffering from the nature lack of adequate information. This project stages that extraction and attempt reconstruction of imagery from the test stimulus brain as an aspirational, desirous event. The system enacts the impossible desire to peer inside another's head, to be filtered see through other's eyes. e reconstruction of imagery as an aspirational, desirous event.
