Neuromedia: Art and Neuroscience Research - Hardcover

by Jill Scott (Editor), Esther Stoeckli (Editor)

Combining accessibility with deeper reflection, this book explains how shifts at the molecular and cellular level affect sensory and motor behavior, and shows how media art can be used to demystify the complexity of the central and peripheral nervous system.

Neuromedia is an innovative examination of shared territories in neurobiological anatomy, physiology and media art. It reveals how scientists investigate perception and behaviour at the molecular, cellular and systems level. It demonstrates how interpretative forms of media art can help to demystify these complexities for diverse audiences. Under the reflective headings of inspiration, construction, challenges and reactions, it offers deep insights into the processes of art and science production. Assisted by essays from a museum director and an art historian, Neuromedia provides the background for readers about an exhibition of the same name at KULTURAMA in Zurich (2012), and suggests an alternative approach to scientific communication.
